Make WordPress Comment links DoFollow instead of NoFollow which is WordPress Default for Comment links

I found a plug-in which make links by commenter’s Dofollow instead of Nofollow which is the default link type for WordPress. All you need is to upload the dofollow plugin from SemioLogic.com and activate it in WordPress Plugin Control Panel.

By making your links DoFollow instead of NoFollow, your commenters will also get more link juice. Some of your visitors will also be more likely to comment since they will get more dofollow back links to their website which increases their Search rankings in Google and other search engines. DoFollow is great for Search Engine Optimization.

Update: I decided to make this blog NoFollow again since I don’t have the time to moderate spammy comments and comments which are poor quality like people who post “thx” which I tend to be getting after I change this blog to DoFollow.

    I agree, people who get rewarded by having a DoFollow link on a website is more likely to post something useful since they don’t want to risk being banned from a blog for posting something spammy or non-related since DoFollow links give link juice and are more useful then NoFollow.

    Although this plugin is related to the one I’m looking for but not quite. I’m looking for a tweak that would just select a comment to be dofollow and not the whole comments.

    Anyone, knows how to do it?

    Hi,

    I keep a look up for a plugin which can do what you are looking for, and make a post on it if I ever find one.

    I would be willing to take the chance that people will spam to use Do Follow. There are some good spam zappers out there. If someone comments, the least you could do is link back.

  • Johnson Yip June 13, 2010, 2:26 pm

    I use Askimet for spam prottection. I agree some people might be more likely to comment or spam on Do Follow blogs and forums.

    It is good information to achieve good ranking in search engines.

  • Johnson Yip June 18, 2010, 8:18 pm

    I agree posting in DoFollow blogs are very good for rankings.

  • Paul June 20, 2010, 5:52 am

    Yes but your comment must have some pertinence in the considered blog.
    Pertinence is talking about the post, add some idea, add a plus, not only say good or yes i like it.

    Anyway some search engines like yahoo follows all links and it’s not a criteria for ranking and popularity for your website.

    Unfortunately 90% of business pass through GG, so good luck

    I agree when people comment and add their link to the blog on the URL section they should try their best to add something to the blog post disscussion which can make other readers want to visit their blog. I kind of see commenting as guest blogging since if you have good comments people will want to visit their site. I read online that Ask.com does not care about nofollow.

    Thanks for the insightful comment!

    Do Follow blogs are good way to increasing websites ranking. That’s why more people like do follow comments. Thanks.

  • Johnson Yip July 19, 2010, 1:36 pm

    I agree Dofollow comments improve rankings in Google, but I wonder if Search engine will ever or have already modify its Ranking to give less rank to comment links compared to links in the sidebar and header.

  • Wiki DoFollow List July 22, 2010, 3:39 pm

    Looking for something to blog about? I saw this post about dofollow and thought you would like to know about a new site, Wiki Dofollow. It is a community compiled list of high ranking dofollow sites. That way, the list stays current.

    wikidofollow.org

    If you want, be one of the first to blog about it. I am sure you know how difficult it is getting visitors to a new site. Your help spreading the word would be greatly appreciated!

    thanks.

  • Johnson Yip July 22, 2010, 6:35 pm

    Thanks, I will check out your website since I love looking for dofollow blogs and forums.
