Dofollow Trackbacks Plugin

DoFollow is the latest way to spread link love to your readers and it is indeed growing rapidly. At first, I haven ‘t given much attention to the dofollow movement since eventhough you have spam blockers like Akisment installed, people can still spam your posts by leaving meaningful comments just to get backlinks. I am against this. This is why I have created the Dofollow Trackbacks plugin to share your link love only with the people who has found your post valuable enough to link it on their blog.

Although I have always told WordPress users to increase their page rank value and the quality of seach engine optimization on their blogs, I highly encourage bloggers to share their link love with other bloggers. Other dofollow plugins like the ones from Semiologic & Kimmo Suominen, in my opinion, caused a new type of spam to erupt in the blog network. Even though many people do remove rel=”nofollow” in their links , you can not be sure if they are really intimate about sharing link love and deactivate the plugin later on.

Installation of Dofollow Trackbacks Plugin:

  1. Download the source file: thb-dofollow-trackback.phps
  2. Rename the file to thb-dofollow-trackback.php
  3. Upload it to your plugins folder
  4. Active the Dofollow Trackbacks Plugin on the plugin page

Dofollow Trackbacks I came up with this “U Trackback I Follow” image to post it on your webpage and please include a link to this post to encourage more people to remove rel=”nofollow” in their trackback links. You can save the image by right clicking and selecting save image as. Its pretty small (97 * 97), so it can easily fit in your sidebar.

For support or any other questions, please leave a comment on this page. I will return them as soon as possible.

    Besides what G says about nofollow, the link still has some weight.  G keeps pushing nofollow but the still have to consider the fact that a link has some weight.  Their dilemma will be how to discount the spamdexing and link farms out there without cutting off a massive part of what makes the internet the internet, i.e. relevant content from real people.

    The trackbakc plugin is a nice addition and can surely make the quality of comments on these sites better!

    At http://www.dofollowblog.info I have started a list of do follow blogs, currently over 750. Please excuse the AdSense but it has been a lot of work to gather these lists.

    I am seeing an increase in dofollow blogs, which is nice. It really is just a matter of maintenance and I think the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks.

    Thanks for the great plugin. It is only fair that a link be provided back to the person who links to you. This makes it followable, which is great.

    Nice post, I didn’t even know what effect nofollow had before reading this post. I’m implementing the link love plugin from now on as an attempt to get more comments on my posts.

    I think NoFollow is necessary in some case.

    i think nofollow = noWEB

    it’s against the WWW spirit, don’t you think same?

    I would be willing to take the chance that people will spam to use Do Follow. There are some good spam zappers out there. If someone comments, the least you could do is link back.

  29. Reifand 4 September 2008 at 5:02 am #

    Thanks for plugin. Why in this blog using nofollow on comments? You should change to dofollow or external, not only to trackback link.
    Thanks…

    I’d like to know how this guy got his Do Follow links to show up at the bottom of his page. It looks neater. My pingback was even accepted. Here is the site: http://www.leadsleap.com/blog/how-to-use-pingbacktrackback-to-get-more-links-and-contents-for-your-blog/?r=shalamigri
    I assume I need to add some code to my single.php file
