@Blogger Tips

Thanks for the resource.

@Brian

I definitely recommend the “Lucia’s Linky Love Plugin”, which is great for setting the amount of comments made before Link-juice is given.

What a poignant comment Richard — you wrote it just as I was adding my logo to my comments with the ‘Highlight Author Comments’ WordPress Plugin.

I comment of David Airey’s site regularly, but I never knew it was NoFollow — has he written a post about it?

Thanks for the compliment on the logo, and in return, the feather in your own logo sets your identity apart also, good stuff.

I’m amazed at the response this post has had over the past week. It’s only my 8th article on this new blog, so I appreciate everyones comments, thanks Richard for subscribing!

PS: I see what you mean about the ‘Follow tag’, my mistake, I’ll correct the wording soon, thanks for the heads-up

David Airey’s blog (davidairey.com) is dofollow, too, and his posts are pretty good – interesting, and well formatted.

There isn’t a ‘do follow’ as such; it’s more a lack of a ‘nofollow’ attribute in the link, by the way.

(PS, really love your logo, especially the colours. Have added this to my feeds!)

David,
Thanks for your comment, I’ve visited your site before, I see that you have updated the layout – looks really good. Like you said, pity that DoFollow isn’t available for your format.

Funny Forwards,
For me, I wouldn’t even be wanted to be listed in DoFollow directories, this would only invite link-loving-commenters.

I looked at your blog, the ‘Water on Mars’ photo made me laugh!

Andrew,
You not the only one who has decided to do this. (Doug C beat me to the “baa” comment) I decided to offer it on my site after reading Rob’s blog and seeing how people were interacting. Sure you have a lot of people who only come for the link love, but quality content will win quite a few over.

It’s been active for a month or so and no real comment or traffic increase yet…then again who wants a link form a PR 0? Plus I’ve found it’s more difficult than I thought to get listed on most dofollow directories.

The DoFollow plugin does sound like a real asset to any blog, hopefully something similar is available for Expression Engine.

That’s Okay Rob, I’m always willing to link to quality sites.

I don’t think I’ll have the same problems as you (at the moment anyway), as I’m only PR1 as this is a new site. Although, I’ll keep an eye on how things go over time…

Hi Andrew,
I installed the DoFollow plugin because I thought it would be a sort of nice thing to do as well as to get more comments. Nowadays I’m always wondering if a lot of my comments are just from people wanting link juice. Anyway, it’s definitely a good idea to reward your commenters. Thanks for the link.
Rob

Hi Doug,
Hmm, open ID? I’ve never heard of that one, I think I’ll look into it. I’ve noticed that my feed/posts don’t parse in some blogs, but do in others, thanks for the info…

Bah, ram, ewe …. lol. Sorry, couldn’t resist.

DoFollow is a very nice plugin. I first read about this on a blog where they were talking about CommentLuv. For some reason whenever I left a comment on a blog with CommentLuv it would not properly parse my blog. After a week of searching around for a cause I discovered that the culprit was OpenID.

Once I removed OpenID from my own blog and deleted my account with them then everything was fine.
