DoFollow Blogging

July 1, 2008 · Filed Under WordPress Plugins 

I’ve just installed two more plugins to this blog which I hope will encourage more people to visit and begin posting relevant comments regarding topics I am covering.

The first is a removal of the nofollow attribute that is, by default, attached to links on the name of people who comment on your blog posts.  This plugin is called NoFollow Free and is very simple to install and customize.  Customisation options include the ability to only remove the nofollow attribute once a user has posted a certain number of comments and the addition of a CSS stripe in the corner of your blog to publicize the fact you are now ‘nofollow-free’ .  I have opted to remove the nofollow from all comments (aslong as you get past Akismet and my approval.

The second plugin is called CommentLuv and will display an exerpt of your latest blog post when you comment on one of mine (if it is able to ‘grab’ it).  In order to better explain what this plugin achieves, here are the plugin authors comments:

Pass a bit of luv onto your commenters by providing a titled link to their last blog post. This plugin attempts to parse the feed of the comment author by visiting their site and looking in the standard locations for a feed. If no default feed is found, it will attempt to parse the users page for a feed link and parse that instead.

If you like the sound of either of those two plugins, be sure to comment and let me know :)  I have also got other plugins currently installed and running, I’ll be sure to keep you updated shortly with what they are, and how they are benefiting my blog.

    Darren, i really appreciate dofollow movement.
    The main thing is that commenting is not always to get link love, it just could make a healthy relationships between an author and readers.
