Firstly, let me explain if you don’t know already.

DoFollow is the inverse of NoFollow. Any links in the comments to our articles are set by default to NoFollow. Actually Wordpress set this by default because Google decided that ‘those links won’t get any credit when we rank websites in our search results’ from the link in the comments.

Wordpress describe this like ‘Nofollow is an attribute that can be added to links to discourage Comment Spam. It is used with the rel=” “ attribute in a link.’

So, with all that said, why do we need to worry about the nofollow tag?

Well it’s simple, we want to encourage contributors to our blog to use the comment facility and the only way we are going to do this is if we give the contributor the benefit of the dofollow tag. Anybody who can add value to our articles by placing a worth while and meaningful comment will be rewarded with a back link to their web site.

All comments are moderated on our blog so they will only appear once they have been approved by the administrator- that’s me - because we only want information related to the articles.

In order to help with spammy comments we have incorporated the help of the Dofollow Plugin from Big Bucks Blogger. This is a wordpress plugin that does exactly as it is supposed to do. Just a few set up parameters to fill in and you’re done.
