Blog visitors, this blog is now “No Follow Free.” I have installed a No Follow Free Plug in . Typically, WordPress blogs contain coding that instructs the Google search engine not to “follow” or count links that appear in comments. Therefore, Google does not consider these links when it calculates your web site or blog’s search engine positioning. People could still click on the link and it would work, provided you entered it correctly, but it would not count towards your site’s popularity.
WordPress made the comment links “no follow” because of the amount of comment spam that people were dealing with. It was a response to a significant problem. However, it also discouraged legitimate people from leaving comments.
By installing this plugin, I have removed the no follow coding. If you choose to leave a link, the search engines will now count it as a link to your site.
I’m hoping to see more people leaving comments now. Should there be a problem with comment spammers, I think I can blacklist them from the site.
