Recently, I noticed something that I was not happy about. I noticed that the comments that people were leaving on PureBlogic included a nofollow tag. For those that don’t know, nofollow tags tell the bots that search and index pages NOT to follow a particular link. This means that you will not get any link love from sites you leave comments on. Now what does that mean?

When a site that is page-ranked links to you, it increases your "importance" in the Google algorthim world. This in turn, can lead to you getting a better PageRank after the next round of Google updates. This is one of the reasons that link building is so important. Good link building to PageRanked sites can help you build good PageRank very quickly. The reason that NoFollow links are added is to prevent spammers from getting PageRank by adding spam comments to your site. The problem is that adding the no follow link to ALL comments hurts both the good commentors on your site. So what can be done? I'm glad you asked.

To allow your visitors to get their page rank on a WordPress blog, you can install a great plug in that will remove the no follow tags or edit the php file that adds the link. I would also suggest that you make sure that you have your spam protection enabled for your comments. 

To edit the php file, go your wp-includes folder and find the file comment-template.php. Replace tthe following line :

$return = "<a href='$url' rel='external nofollow'>$author</a>";

with this line:

$return = "<a href='$url'>$author</a>";

To use a plug in, visit this page on WordPress.org and download it. You can then install the plugin on your WordPress system. This plug in will allow you to help your commentors receive their link love and allow you to protect yourself from spammers.
