Follow @darrensingletonWordPress Plugins : NoFollow Free
Looking back through the posts on Darren Singleton, you may have noticed that there are quite a few comments on each post. I can attribute this increase in commenter’s to two plugins. The first is ‘NoFollow Free‘.
By default, WordPress tells the search engines to ignore external links when they are crawling WordPress-powered blogs. By disabling the NoFollow attribute on links, search engines won’t be prevented from crawling links in your blogroll or links that commenter’s post.
As long as the comments posted are related to the post and haven’t been picked by Akismet as being spammy, I generally allow any comments to be displayed on this site. By disabling the NoFollow attribute you can also get yourself listed on DoFollow lists, which will drive traffic and possibly get you more readers than before.
This post has been the first of a variety I have planned regarding WordPress plugins that I make use of on a daily basis.

don’t you afraid to use that plugin? because in my opinion, using no nofollow will cause Google to penalize our blog. CMIIW.

@busbyseotest – I don’t think Google penalizes those who support the DoFollow movement.
If you didn’t install Akismet, spam is going to come! Haha, luckily you did.
