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 So your comment will not be published if it is nonsense.

get your site a DoFollow link by leaving you comments below: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 :-)
Thanks for your remind
Hi Chandan, thank you very much for your kindly remind. I just forgot to modify my template.php file. Now Your Money Online finally becomes a DoFollow blog, :D
It is a good news for all
It is always preferable to use a do follow blog as it is of great use and help for brining credibility to your site. It is indeed a great news and i am sure that many people will surely like it.
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.
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.
