Do follow links for Wordpress Blogs
September 8th, 2008 Posted in Blogging Related IssuesI am fairly new to Wordpress and I am probably only starting to get a real grasp on some of the more intricate features of this program. So far I have been pretty impressed but have only two complaints:
1. Line break formatting
2. Wordpress automatically inserting “no follow” in to users comments.
I understand that it has been built in to the program to hinder spammers efforts however I don’t understand why there is no option to toggle it on and off.
This blog is particularly new and although I’m not particularly concerned at this stage whether people comment on my posts or not I have been making a concerted effort to check out other peoples posts and comment when I have something of value to say.
In doing so, I don’t think that a microscopic amount of PR juice from that site is that bad in turn for someone taking the time to being actively involved. In the world of websites and blogging, decent commentary in my opinion will also help with search engine positioning.
As of today I have installed the “Do Follow Plugin” and encourage anyone else who thinks this is worthwhile to do the same.
Because my blog is small in the big scheme of things I will take the time to moderate all comments saving me linking to a spammy site.
