Remove “no-follow” rel tag from wordpress

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

Since I put my wordpress in blog.webdirectory.si and am trying to help myself and others to promote my and theirs websites I needed to tweek my wordpress so comments don’t have “no-follow” attribute in theme no more.

I found interesting and helpfull plugin to do that. It was written by Cristian Mezei (www.seopedia.org) and installing and using it is very easy.

no-follow attribute plugin Install instructions:

  1. download remove_follow.7z (7-zip archive) or remove_follow.zip (zip archive)
  2. Open archive. Inside is a file remove_follow.php. Upload this file via ftp client or any other method to wp-content/plugins. After that login to wordpress admin panel and activate plugin in the Plugins section.

If you have usage of this please add link to this article so other people will be able to use this plugin.

In addition I found great webpage with ultimate list of no-follow scripts.

Quote from author Andy Beard:

Wordpress by default, just like other blogging platforms, has automatically been adding the “nofollow” microformat extension to all links from user generated content such as comments and trackbacks. To support the growing rejection of NoFollow for blog comments, I have compiled this list of plugins that help you remove nofollow from your blog forever.

Besides that I also found interesting webpage on aboutresultsmarketing.com with no-follow article and martinwaiss.com no-follow article in german.
