Do Follow
The Do Follow Wordpress plugin is a nice way to reward your visitors for commenting on your blog. Most people don’t know or care what “no follow” or “do follow” means, so this is for the small percentage of computer geek web heads out there that are trying to get their website/blog to the next level and build up their backlinks. If you didn’t know it, Wordpress puts an automatic “nofollow” tag on every comment. I can see their logic for 2 reasons. First, it theoretically would stop spammers form trying to get their links in the comments section of a Wordpress blog and second, It would encourage people to post a comment that is valuable, and not just say something like, “I agree” or ,”Nice post” etc…
That amounts to the same thing as comment spam in my mind. Ultimately though, Spam filters like Aksimet and Spam Karma 2 do a good enough job preventing the garbage from being posted that i think it is my duty to change the comments to “do follow”. I don’t have much of a following in my first 3 weeks here, but as things progress it is my hope that little things like this will help to create a better community.
Download the “Do Follow” plugin here, re-upload it to your plugin folder on your server, and activate in the plugins tab of your Wordpress and you are good to go.
