DoFollow Wordpress Plugin

Most of u who own a blog will always want to boost your Google Page rank. By default wordpress will add “rel=nofollow” to comments URI. Even if u commented a lot to any wordpress blogs, u wont be rewarded with higher google page rank because of this wordpress behaviour. DoFollow wordpress plugin will automagically remove this “nofollow” tag . I just installed this plugin to kucau.net. So, for those who want to boost their Google Page rank please leave comments on my blog :) .

UPDATE: For unknown reason, Dofollow plugin is not working on my site. U can check if this plugin is working or not by using this firefox plugin.Currently , linklove plugin seems able to remove “nofollow” tag from comments URI. By default this plugin will only remove “nofollow” tag if the commentor has commented more than 10 times. U can change this behaviour by editing var $allpassion_comment_count = 1o; just change 10 to whatever value u like. I changed mine to 1 :). U can download linklove plugin here.

  2. hi kukau,

    great to see you’ve joined the dofollow revolution!
    some great bloggers have done that already.

    your commenters have now 2 reasons to comment on your blog:
    - linkbacks
    - traffic

    so good luck!

  3. Hi Kucau,
    wordpress can really be a pain… They told me that plugins were not possible to embed into my blog.
    So how on earth can I?
    Thanks for your message by the way on blog catalog. I’m new there, so I must find out how to add someone to my neighbourhood or friends… All confusing!

  4. I’ll have to check that out, thanks!

  5. nice plugin ;)

    hehe me too.. more comments here!!

    btw, good blog!!

    cya

  6. @hysoong : yeah u should put more comments
    @webee : thanks , i hope this plugin will draw more traffic ;)
    @pixel and emeny , u should opt for full web hosting where u`ll be free to put anything :)
    @dabomb: thanks for the compliment. yeah more comments pliz ;)

  7. Kucau,

    Great suggestion :) I don’t know why people have nofollow tag since now killing spam is easy with the Akismet plugin.

    I’ve also just installed the plugin but noticed when I enable it now the nofollow tag is replaced by : rel=’external nofollow’. What’s the difference here? Does this mean it’s not working?

  8. @cindy , i think its working . ermm i should be comenting more on ur blog. Cindy, i think editing comments.php would be good to inform users that commenting in your blog will boost your PR. otherwise ppl simple wont notice

  9. You said i should leave more comments

  10. Hi Kucau,
    I recently started to send more link love to commenters on my blog. I’m not sure about measurable effect, but there are certainly some good vibes. :)
    My blogcatalog profile is http://www.blogcatalog.com/user/grigor

  21. I’m using LinkLove on my site right now so that people will be encouraged to comment on my site. =)

  22. Hm… I had to turn LinkLove off, WP was generating errors. Seems like I have to edit the plugin to work with recent comments.

    Gr….

  23. Weng, why dont u opt for other plugin?

  24. Hello Kucau,

    I have now set mine to 365 and thank-you. My brother has just passed away so I will be away for awhile. Take care and much appreciated…Jude

  25. Its working now, I’m running plain old ‘do follow’ plugin that allows to follow links after 5 days. :)

  26. Hi Judy, sorry to hear that your brother just passed away .Words can not express the depth of my condolence for you and your family.

    @weng , congratulations !

  27. Alright..I have also removed that NoFollow thing from my template. Let’s see what wonders it can do. Thanks for the tip..Kucau!! :)
    How do I check if any difference was made?

  28. it’s simple to test it!
    just count the number of comments comming in :)
    but don’t forget to promote it! and, think about also installing the top commenters plugin.

  29. Hi…
    i’ve installed the plug-ins. but others than what webee said above, isn’t there any other way to test whether the plug-in really works?

    Thanks
    - Joe

  30. If you are using wordpress, you’ll see it under incoming links.

  31. ok..thanks Weng.

  32. Weng, i commented to few sites using Dofollow plugin, i cant see any incoming links from those site . im a bit skeptical now… never mind, ill ask the writer of the plugin later. stay tune for the update

  33. Kucau, try commenting on mine. :)

  34. Hey, this is great. I will read the post about remove no follow for blogger like me. All of my blog are blogger. But I don’t know how search engine follow the link from comment. Is it follow from Website Above? or I have to Input the Link in this comment like this?

    My Blog:
    Baby First Year

    Please anyone told me about this.
    I hope this NoFollow method will boost our Blog Rank.

    Thank all,

    Goonie

  35. joe, sorry, now i understand what you were talking about.
    the tool i use is a firefox plugin [http://]www[.]quirk[.]biz/searchstatus/ .

    it is really hepfull to for:
    - seeing no follow links
    - meta tags of any site, without viewing the pagesource
    - robots of any site
    - etc

    i hope this helps.

  51. It is good that you have joined the DoFollow movement, although my Firefox search status is still showing pink rectangles on the comments.

    I removed the nofollow tags from comments last June, and so far it’s working out pretty well.
