Your Money Online Becomes a Dofollow Blog too

Fri, 01/29/2010 - 00:46 — David Wei

Following Ching Ya and Nicole, Your Money Online is now a DoFollow blog too.

Why Your Money Online a DoFollow Blog?

First Let Gabe Young tell you something about NoFollow and DoFollow: "Spammers leave comments with lots of links on others’ blogs, just to get link juice back to their site... In 2005, Google’s spam team created an HTML attribute to deter comment spammers. That’s when the NoFollow tag (rel=”nofollow”) was born. Adding this to comments prevents search engine spiders from crawling the links so that there is no passive benefit from leaving comments."

However, even I know that A DoFollow blog will get much more spam comments every day, I still decided to set Your Money Online as a DoFollow blog. So when you leave a comment on my posts, that means you will get a link back to your blog without a "nofollow" tag and it will help you to be better indexed in search engines.

How Do I Become a DoFollow Blog?

If you use WordPress as your blogger platform, just download a plugin called DoFollow and upload it to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory, and activate it through the 'Plugin' menu in Wordpress.

But since I use Drupal, one of the most powerful CMS, there is another very easy way for Your Money Online to become a DoFollow blog: go to site configuration panel and choose the active input format, uncheck the Spam link deterrent and click the save button. Aha!

Start to Comment on My Blog now

Your comments are highly appreciated and I hope we can build an good relationship. This is why I remove the nofollow tag from your link and maintain a DoFollow blog. But I really hate spam and I am now checking each comment manually. So your comment will not be published if it is nonsense.

The DoFollow plugin

The DoFollow plugin (if you're on WP) is indeed the easiest way to remove that NoFollow default.

BTW, thanks for the plug!

Why people do spam?

Thanks for this Great Article. It's really helpful and I am thinking why people do spam we have too much ways to promote our websites links and thanks now I know how to make my blog a Do follow blog.

It's a good idea

I always prefer dofollow. There is one more good plugin with more customization option and it is - NoFollow Free .

But still your blog is not Dofollow. You can check in source view. I just checked and found that Gabe | freebloghelp.com link is nofollow.

Have a great time :-)

Regarding Do Follow

Hey mate, really your work is done good, but try to increase your page rank so that you get lots of visitors who would like to comment.

So, work hard and get good page rank, so ultimately you get visitors to your website.

That's really a good news.

I'd rather wait awhile to make my blog do follow as well. Keep us posted how the do follow thing works.

A good choice

Im happy tho see that there are some webmaster who make their sites and blogs "dofollow". The nofollow tag is a self-destructing technic for the blog community.
And it doesn't stop spamming because of the fact that only a few searchengines pay attention to it.

I agree

I agree that the nofollow tag can seriously hamper involvement on blogs. Making comments do-follow can add a lot of discussion back to blogs. It takes a little time to weed out the spammers but eventually they'll disappear.

Do-follow comments

Congrats on the move. When I made the change on my blog, I noticed a significant increase in comments and blog participation. I imagine that you will see the same.

As for the spammers, it seems like they are there one way or another. The extra effort of having do-follow is definitely worth the returns.

Great article on www.your-money-online.com

I want to thank the blogger very much not only for this post but also for his all previous efforts. I found www.your-money-online.com to be very interesting. There is not much to say except the following universal truth: When in doubt, you should probably keep it to yourself.

I think going with Dofollow

I think going with Dofollow is a good move for blog owners. You get more comments and interaction with readers and know what people are thinking about your posts.

Thanks for making this blog

Thanks for making this blog do follow. I'm also planning to make my travel blog (http://travelluver.blogspot.com) dofollow but I have to search for a way to do it on blogger.

Good for you!

We started out as a dofollow blog as well, but the spam eventually became too much to deal with. It definitely did increase the community participation though, and is also a great way to build traffic (since you can get listed in dofollow blog directories).
