SEO 2.0 is about link love. So I installed the fabulous DoFollow plugin for Wordpress. To prevent link rape by spammers links get their nofollow attribute removed after 24 hours.
So marketers, webmasters and bloggers: Spread the love, say something nice, funny or useful. You can even flame, but then I will flame twice as hard, been flamin’ around the net fo’ a decade punk!
Feel free to spread the link love anyway you like, as a comment, ping or trackback. No safer sex anymore for those with true deep emotions about SEO 2.0!
The nicest people will end up on my blogroll.
[Edit:] Please mind the blog commenting netiquette though.

This is a nice way to increase the number of comments. I’ve been using a dofollow plugin for quite some time now. :)
True. Nofollow failed big time. I even see sites using nofollow on all links! So those who use dofollow stand out in a positive way.
Hey Tadeusz,
nice to see that you startetd a SEO 2.0 Blog. Doing it in English is a very good choice!
As you know I`m marketer, webmaster and blogger plus I have something nice, funny and useful to say: ;-)
Whenever you are tired of deleting links because they might be a little bit too spammy remember that there are alternative DoFollow Plugins for everyone enabling you to give link love only to websites you defenetly like. Andy Beard is fighting for all of these cool plugins and keeps you updated whenever you like. ;-)
Thank you Oliver for the link. Until now the original dofollow works fine and people commenting are perfectly polite. However in case it gets worse I will check the other ones.
Oh yeah? Well, I started flame-war on usenet back in 1989.
:-)
So you are an adult flamer by now: 18 years of flaming.
This is the first reference I have heard to SEO 2.0. I would argue that SEO for Web 2.0 web design would contain the attributes necessary to index dynamic ajax pages and so forth. I do agree that linking is love :)
Would have been great if your page had some nice PR as well ;-)
Anyway, thanks! :-)
This is good stuff, last week I added Do-Follow to my own site. Good to see it is spreading everywhere
thanks - was looking for a plugin that did this.
The “DOfollow” movement seems to be increasing in popularity, I can see it doing some great things, increasing what we actually read online, and getting bloggers to get out and mingle a bit, as well as lend content to each others blogs that is worth reading .. the expiration mod will help with that worth reading part quite a bit :)
Hi, I wrote an article about DoFollow in farsi:
http://www.megaiti.com/1386/06/09/how-to-thank-commenters/
Increased traffic and comments for a little google juice is a good trade for most blogs. Between akismet and moderation bloggers really don’t need to worry about the spammers.
Yes, akismet does a great job, and I had in fact no problems with manual SEO spammers ;-)
Its ironic that many bloggers talk about this but then they actually use no follow.
I dont see the point in using no follow, as those who use it dont loose any of their PR. Go no follow!
Not sure if thats true, isnt there something called PR Bleeding ?
I m not too familiar with it my self, so cant say for sure.
rel=nofollow only works with Google anyway and does not do anything to MSN and Yahoo — so, I’ve noticed.
I didnt notice that. I will give it a try
Its not just about link rape, but forcing google to get better and better.
The control of the Link should not be given to the one who is linked to, no?
The question is: does dofollow lead to increased irrelevant comments? ;)
i think yahoo does not support this
and msn does not support it too.
dofollow will lead to increased irrelevant comments but that’s what you have moderation for I guess
Its a nice concept, but it also leads to increased ’spam’ with comments like ‘Good Job’ or ‘Nice blog’ that are not actually relevant to the post, but are just there because the poster saw a ‘DoFollow’ badge on the blog and wanted a backlink.
I suppose you could call this a double edged sword, it’d definitely get your more comments, but also increase your moderation work.
Moderation is not the perfect answer, but for small to middle-size blogs it is far better than nofollows.
I think that DoFollow is a good thing for bloggers. Bloggers that pay attention to SEO technics will be more likely to put quality content on comments of others blogs because they know that theirs comments will be followed.
Like above, I noticed after installing dofollow, we seem to get a lot of commenters that have anchor links in their nickname :D
Wish I had something funny to say or a blog where I could make dofollow on but I don’t. But thanks for the link anyway.
Jens
But somehow Google rankings affect Yahoo and MSN search results.
Thanks my blog do follow too.
I’m creating a new blog. my links gonna be dofollow..
Do-Follow is best but must be check spam or irrelevant comments…
Thanks - I was looking for a plugin to do this - since I have askimet working, I figure I could change from nofollow to dofollow
Thanks a lot for the dofollow plugin link :)
Would be nice if we all could use some link love methods for great sites..
Do follow is great but be prepared to spend more time deleting spammy comments. I’ve used it on several blog and the results have more advantages than drawback IF you catch and delete all the resulting junk.
Thanks for this. I really think is a great idea to increase the number of comments and so communicating.
I’m pretty sure that dofollow does not increase the number of spammers in any way: spammers are just blindly increasing the number of spammy messages without caring of the follow thing.
And I removed nofollow from all of my wp blogs.
I think Do-Follow Blogs will stand out a lot more and many more people will respond to posts which also helps the Blog. So in a way it is good for both the commenter and Blog owner.

I wonder if the murky underworld is busy beavering at creating a Spam2.0 for Web2.0 Seo2.0
The nut to crack would be spidering sites for “nofollow” lapse pages and spamming them instead of quality builds.
Installing this plug-in may be one of the best actions a blogger can take! it improves your comment number and this is one of the most important factors when it comes to blogging. What shows the fact that a blog is visited and active? The comment number!
I guess you also receive a lot of spam comments. I know I do on my website. I guess you have a spam filter like Akismet, right? Sometimes I ask myself if it is enough these days.
I have seen this everywhere and I hope it’s not taking away rather than adding to. I’m going to give it a try on my blog and see what happens. Thanks for the post.
Very nice tip…
thanks
that’s what i did, too. nofollow sucks
Great blog, great post, my blog are dofollow too.
Salutations from Spain!
Dofollow Rulez
we’re another proud member of the dofollow brotherhood. akismet rules & nofollow sucks.
interesting, i love spreading love
Congrats, does any one know how to do it in blogspot templates and is it risky?
This is a Great barbecue party! I just started my first blog and you’ve convinced me to go with dofollow. Thanks for the tips.
Dofollow is really useful for new publisher who want linkback to their site. but at the same time it help u find good blogger who believe in spreading the link love cheers
Without a shadow of a doubt, nofollow hoards the love rather than spreading it..the dofollow attribute has been a great piece of idea to increase both BL & traffic..
following now to :)
thanks for the tip.
People should be reading your site. (Thats what you’ve been saying)
There is a lot of great info here. I am going to link you, so my “Reader” can find it. Keep it up, You’ll get that John Chow, and yea, nice hat!!
That’s really cool that this thing is gaining momentum.
Got it and installed. How do I know if it is working?
John: Just take a look at the source code ;-) here for example: http://johnny2iron.com/?p=5#comments
I use this Plugin on my WP-Page too
Doflow is really great when it comes to link building and spreading link love
but not all blogger believe in dofollow i have seen lots of big blogger how haven’t removed nofollow from their blog
Problogger.net and John Chow any many other who teach how to make money from your blog and how to get link back not following dofolow is really disappointing
just add dofollow plugin to all my blog and hope will attract more people to post comment :D
After Make Money Online Dofollow is the 2nd most talked topic in blogging world
and thanx to Publishers like Seo2.0 for spreading the wolrd about this wonderful movement
Awww, now i’m scared hope you won’t bomb my blog now - just kidding. I think it’s a good idea to set link to dofollow! :) bye thomas
Eventhough i don’t understand why my links are always marked don’t follow..could anyone explain me this?:)
Good to see that “Do-follow” are gaining. I posted a blogg entry 6 months ago about manual editing the comment.php to remove no-follow from comments. I wasnt aware the of plugins doing the job :) The spambam plugin are keeping my blogg spam free, so only have to check on the few legit commenters to avoid spam.
Keep up the good work!
I have installed the fabulous DoFollow plugin for Wordpress because I want to spread link love.
La meilleure façon de connecter les blogs entre eux est le trackback. Installez le plugin dofollow pour ne pas traiter les autres blogueurs comme des spammeurs…
So, does this plugin allow you to set the “nofollow” to be removed after 24 hours? Or did I read your post wrong? Do you suggest a separate spam plugin aside from akismet?
Thanks for the tip!
Jay
I’ve also implemented DoFollow (as a plugin for WordPress), and I’ve been pleased with the results. Fortunately, my blog is pretty small so I haven’t really gotten many spammy comments — but I guess if I had a better-ranked blog that wouldn’t be such a problem (no spam that is). :)
The “nofollow” has been pretty much a hands-down failure. I’ve been using DoFollow for over a year now, and I’ve gotten very few comments that were simply there for link juice. I moderate my comments pretty closely however, so as long as someone says something relevant, the comment stays.
im thinking of converting my site to dofollow as well.. if people are going to read your blog and also to increase the value of my site i think dofollow tags are important
Doflow is really great when it comes to link building and spreading link love
but not all blogger believe in dofollow i have seen lots of big blogger how haven’t removed nofollow from their blog
Problogger.net and John Chow any many other who teach how to make money from your blog and how to get link back not following dofolow is really disappointing
Wow, what a good way to get a whole bunch of relevant traffic. I’m sure your blog’s statistics went up rapidly since you enable this plugin, which I think I’m going to install and enable too.
I have installed Firefox’s nodofollow plug in and its working fine.. but till I have not got anythng dofollow :-(
Thanks I always searched for this plugin!!
I see many small bloggers joining this do-follow movement, whereas big bloggers doesn’t (like Adam Primero already mentioned) So the question is - who is right and who is wrong? Big bloggers make big money, small - small money, so it is quite evident who knows things better. Just some food for thoughts :)
Tom: Big bloggers just don’t have the time to check all comments ;-)
This sounds great. Genuine vote for it.
Thanks my friend, I was looking to use this on my review blog, and congratulations on making the switch ;)
exactly!.. you get the point… it’s like run a website which is giving money to its visitors
nice!
….to know more about why i choose “dofollow”, see here: DoFollow: Spread Link Love Technorati …
Its a good idea to spread your link love. That way other people will want to spread their link love to you.
Wow, someone suggested we take our blog down the dofollow route and I had no clue what they were talking about. I’m just learning about the whole nofollow vs dofollow thing and it’s great to see dofollow working for someone!
Thank you for this post. I have a theory: Link juice cannot be created or destroyed. It’s constant!
(It kinda makes sense, doesn’t it?)
Cheers,
Ed.
I just stopped allowing anonymous comments on my blog, dofollow comments will just make you lose a huge ammount of time moderating spammy comments.
Great post, I’ve been noticing a lot of blogs that have disabled the nofollow function, I think this is great.I use DoFollow in all my blogs but I’m forced to review comments before publication as I get tons of spam by Chinese or Russian spammers all days long.
For a big site with thousands of users that come from search engines, dofollow comments are hard to manage.
Hi,
I’m having a problem with this plugin.
In the control panel (/wp-admin/plugins.php) the title is black (where any other plugins have a blue title). And it does not show up in ’settings’ when I activate it.
I’m using PHP Version 5 (though I have also tried the v.4 version).
Thank you for the link. DoFollow is a nice option to use and hopefully you are able to benefit from it as well.
I have chosen dofollow on a few of my sites as well and so far I have been able to control spammy comments. I guess if it doesn’t hurt my rankings I’ll keep doing it.
I believe once DoFollow gets abused it will become irrelevant. Look at some of the posts already. Spam has hit it..
Thx i will consider putting linklove on my site soon. It sounds like good idea :) txh
I think that do follow is great idea. I would love to see it more often it will help young websites for sure.
I just posted some new <a href=”http://themonetizedblogger.com/2009/01/blog-design/u-comment-i-follow-icons/”>Free U Comment I Follow Buttons & Badges</a> on my blog for anyone who wants a dofollow badge that’s a little more Web 2.0
Do anyone know if it is possible to turn on dofollow on blogster.com?
know more about why i choose “dofollow”
yup, but still to aware with spammer ;)
Thanks for the post and a great way to increase comments! Will spread the word about this!
It’s a great thing to see popular blogs incorporating this into their layout.
It’s a great way to help people promote their blog by providing a small incentive for discussion.
Good stuff!
Thank you so much for this informative post! I’m new to the blogging community and I’m quickly finding out that quality do follow blogs are hard to come by. The plugin you mention seems to be a great way for you to keep comments alive but at the same time dissuade any spammers! I’ve much to learn about SEO so I’ll be back for anymore juicy tidbits. Best of luck to you and thanks again.
Thanks for the link love! As a new blogger, I really need help to build up my pagerank. We need more DoFollow blogs out there!
Hi guy i thinks dofollow will lead to increased irrelevant comments but that’s what you have moderation for I guess ..
