How to make a Wordpress blog Dofollow
May 5th, 2009
By default, a Wordpress installation is nofollow, i.e. any comments on the blog will have the rel=”external nofollow” attribute applied. There are a number of reasons for going dofollow and rewarding people who make a good comment with a decent backlink. One easy way to make a Wordpress blog dofollow is to install the Do Follow Plugin by Semiologic. Follow these instructions:-
- Go to http://www.semiologic.com/software/dofollow/ and download the sem-dofollow.zip plugin.
- Unzip the plugin to a folder on your hard drive.
- Upload the unzipped plugin folder to the wp-content/plugins folder for your Wordpress blog.
- Log in to the admin section of your blog and activate the Do Follow plugin
Your blog is now dofollow!
Take advantage of your new dofollow status and add your blog to one of the many dofollow directories. Hopefully you’ll soon start getting decent comments. Your life will be made a lot easier though if you also activte the Akismet anti-spam plugin for Wordpress too.
