No Follow Removal

April 19, 2007

I frequently talk about the value of giving.  If you give people value, they often reward you by creating some buzz.

So I started out reading Make It Great, which led me to dmiracle - Healthy Web Design, where I read this post about removing the no follow tag from comment links.  I then followed the link to Andy Beard, and finally to the site where I downloaded and installed the plug in.

My whole education took 10 minutes.  And now you will be happy to know that if you comment on this blog, Google will treat the link like a real link and boost your website ranking.  Remember, to get past the sensor, your comment has to be reasonably free of nonsense and meaningless dribble.  I reserve those topics for me.

    Hippity hoppity, up and down the trail. Amazing what you find when you’re cruising around. I always learn a lot by following rabbit holes, though it’s often unexpected goodness and not what I was looking for. Is that so wrong?

    Hey Ron. I’m certainly glad I could be a link in your chain. Best off, I’m happy you found nofollow. I’ve sort of taken this on as a project I’d like to see everyone adopt. It just smells of blogosphere. So please, pass the word.

    Hey Ron
    Glad to see you got it switched around.
    Great blogging!

    Ron, Saw your presentation on Saturday at the BMW meeting. You had lots to offer. Anxiously awaiting delivery of your book. Looking forward to helping people with a blog, and possibly a video. Thought some of your ideas were outstanding in that it is relatively easy to take action on them.

    Can you remeind me of the three lines in your email to the publisher of a blog you specifically mentioned on Saturday? You spoke a little too quickly for me to write them down correctly.

    Thank you.

    I like the philosophy behind this…I have always thought that nofollow was a bit rude the way it is implemented. Thanks for a great article.

Got something to say?
