This Blog is Now “NoFollow Free”

Filed Under Blogging, Internet, Plugins, Projects, WordPress

You Comment, I Follow I have been wanting to install this amazing NoFollow plugin even before I moved to an installed version of WordPress but either I didn’t have the time to do it or when I did have the time — forgot all about it. I’m so happy that I was able to have both today — time and thought.

if my readers were nice enough to leave a comment on my blog, they deserve no less than a quality link to their own blogs or sites

I consider myself a supporter of the idea of “NoFollow Free” blogs most specially for the comments area. I feel that if my readers were nice enough to leave a comment on my blog, they deserve no less than a quality link to their own blogs/sites that might somehow increase their PR (page rank). Since Google’s and other major search engines’ adaptation of the NoFollow system, many sites were affected and lost PR. But we all know how relevant it is to a webmaster, some even go to extremes just to increase theirs. So, anyway, to show some love to all of my commenters, I am delighted to announce that this blog is now 100% NoFollow FREE! Site URL’s you leave in the comments/author area will now be followed by search engine bots. I also have the SEO for FireFox plugin so I know exactly which links are “no follow’d. But spammers be warned: URL’s will be followed only after a set number of approved comments. Right now, it has been set to 2 approved comments. So leaving one-liner commenst littered with links (characteristic of spam comments) will be nuked real-time. I have done this to ensure that I provide quality links as well. Also, as much as I’d want to accomodate everyone,I regret to inform you that I can and will only follow sites/blogs written in English and Filipino only, this is because I cannot screen sites if they are written in a different language. For that, I’m sorry. I hope there was another way.

I have also set a Comments Policy here for everyone. Please be guided accordingly.

Thank you to all my commenters, specially to the frequent ones who always make me happy. This is for all of you. Cheers!

Hey RJ. After reading your post, it is clear to see that some people do have a heart. I am new to all this SEO backlinking stuff. I have been drafted into a job to help the company. After learning that most blogs now use ‘no follow’ i was stuck and as i am new to backling and SEO, i reached a dead end and didnt know where to turn. If you have extra tips which will help me, please email me. Other wise thank you for this link.

@Oracle support: thanks for the heartwarming comment i’m not an expert on SEO and backlinking though but it will be helpful to identify blogs that practice “nofollow free” scheme and start from there, most people who maintain “nofollow free sites” are SEO experts.. cheers!

@Johannes: thanks, glad to know this blog somehow inspired you to install the “nofollow free” plugin.. let’s share quality links all over the net..all the best to you too!

Hi! We also removed “nofollow” from our wordpress blog links because it is just fair to give a proper attribution to authors. I wish more people would do so, especially in german language weblogs where still “nofollow” is very common. Come on folks: Dofollow!

The argument continues. SEO or LINK LOVE parties. Which is the best choice? I guess it is a personal choice for each blogger. Nice post.
