Remove NoFollow Attribute on Comments in Blogsome

Fri 27th Jul 2007

64 Comments Posted by Standalone

Are you a Blogsome who want to join Do Follow Blogger movement by removing NoFollow attribut in comments? You have come to the right place.

After some trial and error, I manage to set my blog on Blogsome to “Do Follow” mode. This is how to set Do-Follow on Blogsome:

Change your comment author url using following code:
<a href="{comment_author_url}">{comment_author}</a>
Change your comment text using following code:
{capture name='text_comment'}{comment_text}{/capture} {$smarty.capture.text_comment|replace:'rel="nofollow"':''|replace:"rel='nofollow'":""}
Test it by search “nofollow” in your every blog page source. If you have not found any nofollow attribute, then you pass

That’s all. It is very easy to remove “No Follow” attribute on Blogsome. Do you have any other solution than this one? Please let me know by posting it in comment.

For other type of blog, Beta Blogger for Dummies has comprehensive post on how to disable No Follow in Blogger and Semilogic has plugin for do follow on Wordpress.

If you wonder why I should remove nofollow attribute from comments, you can read on Do Follow Blogroll page to find out why

I actually didn’t even know what “no follow” was until I read this post…and your earlier post on “do follow”.

You guys have started a Very interesting movement.

wow, it´s cool so many people are taking part in this do-follow thing. i´m in this blogroll too. but i´m always wondering if there´s another do-follow blogroll besides tricia´s. are there really that few people taking part in this movement?
do you know / does anyone know another do-follow blogroll?
thanks

if you´re in the mood

@Mathias
Yeah, I am still searching those people.

@Luwis
You can send tricia an email on how to do follow in wordpress. Please check http://standalone.blogsome.com/do-follow-blogroll/

5. MLTan said in August 3, 2007

I am in this blogroll too.. It encourages bloggers to visit other bloggers’ blog and give comments, which is a good thing
Anyway, you have been tagged, standalone. Check out the details here

6. Adam_Y said in August 3, 2007

There are some great nonofollow/dofollow plugins for wordpress that automate the whole process.. Linklove being one I can think of from the top of my head… my advice would be to make sure you have Askimet spam catcher installed before you do though.

A big Up for the dofollow movement, and thanks for the walkthrough.

7. gary said in August 5, 2007

Thanks for the info standalone and adam_y…i’m not sure which wordpress plugin to use, i guess either semiologic or link love. there shouldn’t be too much differnce between the two, right? just remove the nofollow attribute, that’s all i want to do.

Actually with a wordpress blog it is relatively simple. Check out this article on my blog, it explains it in great detail.

Sorry for posting the link… I normally try not to divert attention away from a blog, but I just thought that it would be relevant since I am a do follow blogger as well…

Check out the article, it shows all you need to know.

great information! i learning about, and will use on my own blog.

12. Bape said in September 29, 2007

Its ironic that many bloggers talk about this but then they actually use no follow I have seen many blogs leeching off the dofollow movement claiming to be dofollow sites but actually use nofollow, they are worse than the comment spammers in my eyes.

13. Pips said in September 29, 2007

This is an interesting blog. I´m here for the second time and find every day new interesting details.

Very easily communicated. I guess to keep the itneraction and to give something back to the readers you need to havethe do follow attriubute on your blog/website cause of a reader is giogn through reading your full article and seeing that there are some mistakes or there are some suggestion then what we need is to give hiim/her some credit in retun of his effect as he has taken the initiative…

Thanks for sharing that code snippet. I think it is pretty easy to do so in other blog systems like wordpress(There are many extensions to do that).I am not a technical guy so it was almost impossible for me to do that.

I’m learning a lot about this do follow thing on blogs.

Thanks for the tip!!

A great place to search for do follow websites is http://www.followtopia.com . It searches as many pages as yahoo, and displays results with information on whether or not the site is no follow.
