Thank you so much. This is the first time I've heard about social network and bookmarking sites and blogroll links depleting my "Google Juice". I had no idea and here I've been adding all these great blogs to my Blogroll. I will pair it down first thing tomorrow. I've only been bloging for a few months and boy do I have a lot to learn. Thanks again.

Funny how when I started blogging the first thing that amazed me was this huge blogrolls on some blogs. Do a site: search and you find thousands of links pointing to really bad sites including some where not even active sites they would point to suspended pages. Never really understood that mentality. Yet just did a search of some blogs and sure enough they are still the same. Then you see there bitch post on how Google sends them no traffic lol.

Hi,

I was thinking, can you add a 'nofollow' icon to your antisocial plugin linking to plugin homepage, so that blog readers can easily find it from any blog page. Also, if you do that, you can spread a word to your regular readers to switch to antisocial, and in time, hopefully, more and more blog owners will become aware of this nofollow nonsense. Currently, mostly only SEO community is aware of it.

Thanks

Just upgraded to the latest WP version and am getting a "function implode" error with this plugin. Got a quick fix idea for me, Andy?

SO, I could have saved myself a good 50 hours of online research had I seen this before now.

Found you on StumbleUpon.

Yeah, i know you dont like the viralink idea but it has had some non SEO benefits. I've found some great blogs and people through it.

Cheers :-)

I actually think the Viral list is one stage worse than the link exchanges people used to do with unrelated sites, with their 20 pages deep of "resource" directories - at least those had anchor test.

So far it cost me around 10 emails explaining why it isn't a very good solution, most of those emails from quite experienced bloggers and webmasters, who just wanted to confirm their opinion.

As a viral idea it is also fairly hard to maintain especially for people who can't or don't know how to send trackbacks.

I have a contact form linked to from the front page.

For displaying code I use a combination of

Hi Andy, top blog you have here! I see you came across Viralink at some point, it's still an ongoing experiment and we'll see how Google reacts to it in the coming months.
I was looking for a contact email but couldn't find one. I'm commenting to ask how you insert snippets of PHP code into your posts. I have tried a couple of plug-ins but the code still gets processed by php!

Andy help would be much appreciated!

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the great tips. I have been looking for it for some time.
Just wondering:

if I am using the latest Sociable 2.0, where do I add the code? Do I add it in the Sociable.php?

If you can be more clear on that, it will be great.

The DiggThis type plugins all use javascript so no worries

I still intend to use Sociable for at least some bookmark buttons on my redesign

Andy, I just recently came across this post. Great tip on sociable. I was able to hack it and now have nofollow on those links. Would you recommend the same for the digg plugin? With this plugin your link points to a form before your posts is submitted but later it points to the entry at Digg. What do you think about it?
