All External Links Changed From Nofollow to Dofollow!

I know this is not going to shatter the earth, but I need to make this announcement for the regular readers who may find it strange that the external links have suddenly changed from nofollow to dofollow!

Following this article’s advice that "not following" links may actually have an opposite effect on a website’s pagerank, I am changing all external links from "nofollow" to "dofollow". Fortunately it was easy to do for me since I was using a plugin to add the "nofollow" link attribute! :)

This is of course just a test. This blog originally had all external links (except the commenters’ links) set to dofollow, then those links were changed to nofollow, and today again they are back to their original form. I am also going to set some of my blog’s "internal links" to dofollow and see what happens! :)

This change does not affect the external links in comments though! Commenters, as usual, will get a dofollow link only after posting 3 nice comments on my blog! While I am not that bad a guy, I have found that this is the only surefire way to discourage spammers from spoiling my blog and encourage healthy discussion!  ;)

Why Post a Comment? Simple! Once you have posted three nice comments, you get a "Do Follow" linkback from my blog, which means some bonus pagerank juice for your website! What more, top commentators even get listed on the right side of my blog, which is a great way to receive "FREE TRAFFIC" to your site!

But please DO NOT Spam or you would be banned from my blog forever! Please avoid putting hyperlinks within the body of comments. Additionally, any comment which looks spammy or offensive would be deleted!

ATTENTION: To save this blog from comment spammers, I was recently forced to implement a number of anti-spam measures. Therefore, if you have trouble posting a comment, please contact me ASAP! I would love to help out all legit commentators! Thank you for understanding!

Note that for each post, commenting is automatically disabled after 35 days from the date of the post, so if you cannot comment, this maybe the reason why! I apologize for the inconvenience. Meanwhile you can continue reading and commenting on my new posts. Thanks for understanding!

Just started working with Angela and Paul’s backlink program. Through them I have found your blog. There is some great stuff here – glad you are focusing on the make money niche.

I will be interested to hear how the test of the “dofollow” links turns out.

Actually do-follow is very useful to the site specially if you targeting Google search engine.

Thom Lancaster @ 3:07 pm

I think that’s a very sensible change to make. When it’s a link that you’ve chosen to have on your site, there aren’t that many good reasons why they should be no-follow. It’s different when it’s a link that someone has tried to position there themselves (such as links that form part of blog comments).

Most of my blogs are also DO-FOLLOW. I’m curious as to what blogging platform you use that needs a plugin to add the “nofollow” attribute. My blogs use a similar but opposite plugin called “nofollow-free”.

@Professor

I am using Wordpress. You can use this plugin to add nofollow to external links, or make them dofollow. Very flexible:
