The “U Comment, I Follow” Revolution
Recently I became aware that the default installation of WordPress marks all comment links with the rel=’nofollow’ tag. The effect of this tag is that search engine spiders such as GoogleBot will not follow the link to your site, thus the only effect of the comment is if a human follows the link.
The origins of the nofollow tag are steeped in the early days of blogging where spammers were common place, and spam control mechanisms were not. The nofollow thus presented the nefarious activities of the spammer resulting in a profit from the increased sales of whatever product they were pushing.
In the current day however there are multiple spam control options available to combat this disgraceful activity. In fact one is shipped with WordPress by default in akismet. They are very effective and constantly updated. They are not faultless so the blog administrator should review all comments. However, the amount of illegitimate spam is vastly reduced. As a result the nofollow tag is less a legitimate spam control mechanism.
Given the effects of the spam control mechanisms I believe that commenters should be rewarded for their commentary. So I thought I would check the WordPress Dashboard and look for a simple toggle option for enabling/disabling the tag. Unfortunately, it is not a natively user configurable option. I hope that makes it into WordPress 2.5.
As such I have over the previous few days been investigating ways to remove the nofollow tag from comments. After a brief Google search I found the dofollow plugin by Kimmo Suominen. The plugin is highly configurable, but as mentioned earlier an administrator should still check comments regularly to ensure they are relevant and are not some clever spam.
I also found a complimentary plugin called CommentLuv. This plugin will interrogate the supplied URL and if possible retrieve the commenters last blog and place a direct deep nofollow free backlink to it. In this way other blog commenters will see potentially interesting content and visit. Further, search robots will also follow the link to the post.
With these natural advantages I decided to display that SCHWOIT is a proud believer in the I Follow Movement. Again looking at the fiddyp site I found the fast friends follow fair comments post. I liked the design and so decided to integrate it with my design. It is displayed in the header floating over the Bird Of Paradise leaf.
I am a proud member of this movement and encourage all bloggers to embrace the movement.

I also support the movement even though I didn’t put the widget in my blog but I used CommentLuv plugin from last year…hope you can find those who have same interest with you (gardening)…I don’t really like gardening although I like the result from it …

This was a good informative article! And thanks for mentioning the plugins.. very helpful!
Also, an improvement for your blog: You anchor text does not stand out from your normal text. This is not good.. try to make your anchor text more visible to the eye.

webringnet.com’s last blog post..Cool Gadgets Part 1
January 8th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
Edwin,
The benefits of the “U Comment, I Follow” program is that search engine spiders will crawl and index your site from the link from another. In this instance it will crawl webringnet.com from the comment above. This will register as a backlink to your site within the search engines. This will give you more of an opportunity to show up in search engine results.
Also, the CommentLuv plugin advertises your last post. In this case “Cool Gadgets Part 1″. Not only does the search engine spider see your main link it will also crawl to the story. This is a deep link, and will mean that this page is also indexed separately to crawling your site. It also gains a greater credibility.
In the case of Google all of this goes toward the PageRank calculation of your site. PageRank is Google’s measure of your sites importance based upon their own commercial and secret algorithm. Whilst PageRank is not as important as it once was, it is still a lauded statistic amongst web masters and plays a part in how your site appears in the Google search results.
So building backlinks is a key to good search engine results. By embracing the “U Comment, I Follow” revolution my site now plays a part in the indexing of your sites, thus increasing their credibility.
Hope that helps.

I am a new blogger and have been using wordpress for just a couple of months. I have been reading about SEO and all that stuff. I just have one question regarding the do follow. What if someone posted a bogus URL in the comment? Will this affect your website having a broken link? I want to support the do follow and i will be researching how to configure my site to do that. Thanks for clearing this issue.
Louie’s last blog post..The Firefox Rise up Viral Video Promo
January 8th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Louie,
You make a valid point. Most spam control/management plugins do detect these dodgy links and will capture the comment for your later inspection. That said some material may still get through the net.
So my advice is to not trust bloggers blindly, you will over time get a feeling for the legitimate bloggers and the shady types. If upon inspection of the link you feel that it is a nefarious link then you can remove it. I would not reinvoke the “nofollow” tag and simply remove the link.
Also, there are options within the dofollow plugin that will allow you to further control when, and when not to remove the nofollow tag. It is a nifty plugin that should be included in the new WordPress version 2.5 due in March.
January 8th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
I’m a big supporter of the movement, though I have adopted a variant – Lucia’s Linky Love, which allows to you set the number of comments, before a link is followable. It gives me that piece of mind that a new commenter has to word that “little bit harder”… I see it as a nice way of recognising repeat commenters.
I’ve also recently added CommentLuv and I like the top commenters plugin – link love all around

I am with you on the “do follow” and “commentluv” plugins, anything that will encourage more participation is a good thing! i believe that information is to be shared, and everybody that uses these plugins, is helping to promote everybody! I just wish all WP installs came with these, even as an option to be turned on or off. Getting more visitors is important for many reasons, but having a blog that no one sees but you is depressing. Keep up the good work!

I just joined the “I-Follow” movement myself with my blog. I believe all blog comments should follow. I can prevent spam, as all commentors who have not had an approved comment before on my blog need to be manually approved by me.
Spam isn’t an issue for me which is my I follow all links on my blog too.

You are right about the nofollow tag and dofollow tag. I have a tool that actually finds blogs that are dofollow, that way when I read something relevant and comment, I get a link as well. I rarely read “nofollow” blogs anymore, and I am always educating myself on one subject or another. Great move Schwoit!

Great move going to the dofollow movement. I too have gotten into the habit of not really even reading blogs that still use the rel=nofollow attribute. The CommentLuv plugin is wonderful and it ha been taken a step further just recently. Now you can use the KeywordLuv plugin as well. Awesome plugin that will essentially allow you to use keywords with your name. Yuo can read about the keywordluv here: http://www.scratch99.com/wordpress-plugin-keywordluv/

Another plugin I’m starting to like is keywordluv. It lets your readers enter their name as “name@keyword” and parses it as “name From keyword” with the keyword becoming the anchor text for the submitted URL. This lets them get their keyword anchored link while still being a part of the converstation as Sally, Sue, or Simon, so you don’t hever have to say “That was a good point, Cheap Real Estate, however…” Check it out.

I think your totally onto something. You might look at installing the keyword luv plugin also. I think it’s great.
I recently just discovered the keyword luv plugin and I must say it’s a total win-win. In my ventures around I haven’t seen any spammers on the keyword luv enabled blogs. I don’t know if there has been a lot of pruning to keep it that way or not.
It’s kind of a fun way to market. I get to read lots of interesting articles and then post to them. Something in the past I wouldn’t have considered doing considering the time requirements.

It’s funny that people wonder if having to spend more time reviewing the comments will be a problem. If you don’t want people commenting on your blog, why bother having comments at all? I have one blog with I Follow on it and am going to be converting all my others (several on different subjects) to the same thing.
If you want people to participate, why not give them a little link luv in return?

Nofollow doesn’t stop spammers, potencialy stops users from commenting posts, I mean if I would get backlink I’m shure I would write good comments.

I recently read an article that suggested that dofollow blogs bleed page rank. What do you know about this?

I heard this too about the bleeding. I think it depends whether they are on topic or not. If the blog linking to another is topic related, then it will bleed PR, if not it won’t matter as much.
September 30th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
LOL
that doesn’t even make any sense!
October 11th, 2008 at 12:22 am
Nofollow is not as useful as it sounds.
October 17th, 2008 at 3:28 am
Thanks for sharing – having tried and implemented them,I think both commentluv and keywordluv are great for bloggers and commenters – Its also a great way to improve your brand too. The nofollow attribute still serves as an anchor to your site with no Search benefits.

Get the commentluv plug in and set the buzz go on in your wordpress blog. It is a great add on to the WP blog.

Are these tools of SEO, or something else.

My own blog at Karlonia.com does not yet have the CommentLuv plugin but it is DoFollow for comments.
Another useful plugin for encouraging comments is KeywordLuv, which allows commenters to choose the anchor text for their links but also allows them to use their real names or usernames. I discovered the KeywordLuv plugin a few months ago, but sadly my theme seems to be incompatible. This probably doesn’t matter much, however; people seem to be doing a good enough job of putting their keywords in the name field anyway

Many thanks for the article. I think using I-follow links can be a great boost to a blog in terms of the level of reader contribution. Those providing an input to your articles are rewarded with a backlink to their site.

I don’t know If some bloggers are just putting U comment I follow badge to their page to encourage readers to leave a comment because obviously that contributes to their blogs success. Thanks for explaining the issue further and thanks for making your page a real do follow.

Sorry to say this, and I’ll go against other posters here, but I don’t think this article was that interesting. From what I read in this blog in other occasion, you can do much better than that…oh well, I wouldn’t be that surprise if this comment won’t be published

This tag does help in search engine ranking spam. There are people who perform negative link building like promoting adult, gambling, malware etc websites. There are those who legitimately do it. Still the moderators have the true power.

I use the dofollow and commentluv plug-ins, too and agree that it is silly for WordPress to make nofollow a part of the underlying code. I have found that it helps to start with an SEO friendly template, too. I have a dental marketing internet website and with a good template to begin with, got it up and running and towards the top of SERPs in no time.
April 28th, 2009 at 10:06 am
We’ve been using keyword luv for a while and it’s served us well – we’re getting more traffic and a whole lot more money!

The commentluv and keywordluv are the great plug-in.They brings lot of traffics on the blog and reward the commentator by extra link and also allow the keyword in the name field.
June 17th, 2009 at 12:36 am
One of the more outstanding ideas someone has come up with – really in my eyes, when you have visitors writing well thought, and knowledgeable responses to articles, they too deserve some credibility – thanks!

DoFollow and NoFollow have been very confusing for me. Somehow, your post has been able to set me straight and I thank you very sincerely for that. Now that I understand it conceptually, I think I’ll start implementing.

I just went do-follow on my blog. I’m a total believer and can’t figure out why WordPress went no-follow. I use Aksimet to limit spam and moderate every post. I’ve seen no more spam since going do-follow. I use the Lucia’s Linky Love plugin and it not only does the do-follow but also limits spam.
July 25th, 2009 at 11:36 pm
Great post on the dofollow and no follow links. I sure would support this movement to have follow links enabled on the blog.
Thanks a lot for this post.
July 26th, 2009 at 11:10 am
CommentLuv for WP is a very nice plug-in. Every blog should have this installed and enabled by default; it would allow much better traffic exchange between websites! And the developer should definitely consider expanding the compatibility to other CMS.
