July 30th, 2007You comment .. I follow
I recall being very angry on Wikipedia for instance for putting rel nofollow to the links people posted after submitting content to the mammoth project. I consider this to be a nasty trick to not let others also benefit from their hard work in the end. Placing a thoughtful comment or a good article is a promotion tactic indeed, but on the other hand people who submit they work in my sites also help me with the content.
This is something I really like. An entire movement towards regaining some of the good things the Internet used to have: cooperation, people who helped each others and didn’t just run for high PR forgetting to reward their content writers.
I was shocked tonight to realize my blog was with a nofollow tag attached by default. Wordpress seems to come with this bad setting and there’s no setting in it to remove the tag. Fortunately I was able to find a hack that would do this for me. From now on this blog is, as it should be, SEO friendly for you too, dear visitors.
Your opinions MATTER. Share your ideas and thoughts and “i follow” … As for the spam … I have akismet 
Do you have an interesting blog post? Why not present it in the forums and allow us access to it?

I’m very happy to see this Dojo! I’m joining the movement as well and am adding the ufollow plug in to my Wordpress blog as we speak.

Yeah, it’s the right thing to do. I am glad to see people commenting in here and this is the least I can do for them so that they also benefit from the work put in here. It’s not that easy to make a decent comment, I delete the spammy ones, so I know the person spent some time on my blog. If the comment is good, I validate it and the link will help with seo on the long term
