The “NoFollow Free” “DoFollow” Movement Encouraging Blog Commenting And Spreading The Link Love!

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I love your comments on my site.

Ask a question, share your opinion, tell a story or just say g’day!

My site is “NoFollow Free” and I’m guessing since you are reading this, you want to know what that is.

That’s what this post is about and the first question should be…

What is “NoFollow”?

Well “NoFollow” is a tag which tells the search engines to ignore any links placed in comments.

The tag was implemented to stop spammers from commenting on blogs for the single purpose of promoting their spammy links to spammy sites!

What they didn’t know was that taking away the “link juice” would take away some of the incentive for legitimate readers to contribute to your site by leaving comments.

So now…

What is “Do Follow”?

“Do Follow” is a “NoFollow Free” movement to remove the “NoFollow” tag and encourage blog commenting.

The tag can be turned off in your blog through the installation of a plugin, I use DoFollow here on this site making my site “NoFollow Free”.

There are other plugins you can install to encourage more comments. I use CommentLuv.

What about the SPAM?

Well, unfortunately the tag has not stopped the SPAM.

SPAM. It annoys me and I’m sure it annoys you too.

But aren’t plugins awesome?! They can help you with this too.

I use Akismet and WP-SpamFree.

Yes, this site is “NoFollow Free”!

I appreciate your comments and want to help you spread the link love.

So go ahead and leave a (SPAM free) comment!
