Comments and Trackbacks Now DoFollow

May 12, 2007 · Written by Joel

Just a quick update to let you know that those who leave comments (or trackbacks) to Life Goggles now receive a follow link to their website.

Wordpress by default, just like other blogging platforms, automatically adds the “nofollow” microformat extension to all links on comments and trackbacks. This is primarily to stop spamming, however with anti-spam plugins and comment moderation switched on, we thought it was time to “thank” people who left comments with a link back to their site. We’ve used the Semiologic DoFollow plugin.

For more information, read the No NoFollow | I Follow | DoFollow community website.

      Kudos on enabling Do follow. Have you seen very much spam since you have done it? Or has it stayed about the same

      Hi Scott, thanks for your comment. Spam hasn’t increased at all so far, Akismet picks 99.9% of it up still so I’m happy and others are happy to :)

      Its ironic that many bloggers talk about this but then they actually use no follow.
