Oh, and I absolutely LOVE the way your commenting is set up. I think it requires a blog post in itself.

Thanks for the great list of plugins. I noticed that you nofollowed your blog title link.. any reason why?
Hey Maki, I love your blog. I subscribe via rss and read it every day.

I have a lot more other fixes to do on this site - it has always been a work in progress rather than a "perfect example". I make small changes and measure the results as best I can.

I typically delete affiliate links people drop, or links to poor quality splogs that aren't giving correct attribution.
If someone is syndicating my content, I might just leave one trackback in place, but after that I block them from trackbacks. If I didn't do that I would currently end up with 6 trackbacks automatically on every post within a few seconds of publishing.
It depends on how they are doing it. If they are "niching" content, and not just grabbing every article, then I will often leave a few more trackbacks in place.
You get to know commenters, if someone new posts a comment, it is fairly natural to go take a look at the link they posted.

People posting comments purely for SEO will use a keyword as their name and link using a spammy URL that is clearly not relevant to the post.
There are some people who use the name of their site. As an example Engtech who is as white as snow.
In most cases if a site has some green in the toolbar, it is a fairly safe bet. I don't think Google (though I have no proof) that Google will give a penalty for a link to a domain that sometime in the future gets a penalty. It is just one of 1000s of links.

I've purchased two books on how to set up word press and somewhere something went wrong and I'm simply not able to use word press. But I'd love some help for Blogger.
Thanks so much, Andy.

Removing Nofollow whilst possible using a custom comments system with Blogger, that normally means the comments are being hosted off-site, which again isn't very practical.

Great list! But here's 2 questions from a blogging newbie...
1. The real difference between NOFOLLOW and LINKLOVE is "how open" I want to be, right? And I get to set up how many posts it takes?
2. NOFOLLOW FROM HOME - How is it "interesting" from an SEO standpoint; good or bad? I'm not sure I totally understood the write up but would really like to know.
Thanks,
Dennis

The LinkLove plugin gives you the flexibility to reward your "regulars" after a certain number of comments.
It is a good alternative compared to using the DoFollow with a timer
The NofFollow from home plugin places nofollow on all the links within your content that appears on your front page, and your front page is typically where a lot of your incoming Google Juice arrives, but not always if lots of people link to your blog posts... hmm this one comes to mind, I am busy fixing the layout as this comment box is too far down the page to be useful.
What you might want to do is only have outbound links from "single" pages, and not when the same content appears on the front page.
It is a plugin I still have to experiment with, and you would probably also want to use it combined with some highly customised themes and other plugins to control nofollow on other elements.
With it you could effectively ensure that juice is only transferred to your content through a single page sitemap for even distribution, or only through other internal links such as tags and direct links in content.

Sorry, I meant because I basically departed; I pop back quite infrequently.
So, if I have this right the linklove is good for dashing the hopes of one hit wonders - not just spammers but those only looking for a little juice with no intention of returning.
Ok, so with the nofollow from home, does that mean all post links on the home page are "useless"? And what about sidebar links on the home page?

NoFollow From Home - as far as I know it is just in the content, I am not sure how that affects plugins that add something to the bottom of the content using a Wordpress hook. I suppose that would depend on priority of execution.
For things in the sidebar, header and footer if you wanted to add nofollow automatically to all of them, then you could use the Add Link Attribute plugin which would require lots of theme modifications.
Theoretically with a combination of the 2 plugins, it would be possible to develop a few templates to emulate the linking structures within Revenge of the Mininet.
I don't think those are ideal for normal blogs, but for small niche sites they could be quite effective.

Any bloggers interested in being added to the list who use a do follow plugin or who have manually removed the "no follow" tags from the comment section of their site are welcome to join.
All they have to do is be "Do follower's", and be willing to add the blogroll to their sidebar or a page on their site that can be found easily from their front page. Visiting other members is of course encouraged.
Andy I'd love it if you'd let your readers know about this new blogroll.
Thanks!
Before I started the Bumpzee community I was looking to create just a directory, that would have taken user submissions, fully navigated by tags, RSS feeds of content from each blog, include a full description of each blog, including screenshots.
I might still do it, because I have the domain name, but ultimately the Bumpzee community will be more useful.
A list of links doesn't help people find blogs within the same niche, or blog posts in the same niche.
I know hundreds of blogs that use dofollow, so does Google, just can just do a search on dofollow and works your way through the SERPs, but that doesn't allow you to interact with people in the same niche, and make the links valuable.

I find the removing nofollow is good for the blogger as well, since people are more inclined to post comments.. this post is a perfect example.

I've instituted the Dofollow plugin, but also took it a step further and have included my policy on the blog (see comment URI) This way my commentators and readers know exactly what to expect from my site.

I have been reading about no follows for a little while, wondering what it actually meant... Finally after some thoughts I decided to install it... Let's see what it brings...

I'll be no-nofollowing (do following?) shortly!
And I can't believe I just ended every sentence with an exclamation point...

I visit the blogs of the people who leave comments, and can tell if they are real blogs or something dodgy.
I think the odd bad neighbourhood link can creep into any site. All it takes is for someone not to renew a domain registration, and you end up linking through to a domainer, which isn't necessarily a bad neighbourhood either.
There is an additional problem. In the past the "grey bar" on Google's toolbar could be used as an indication that you should be careful. Now "white" seems to have disappeared for new content, and both new and duplicate content is grey, which is honestly a pain.

I wish that more blogs would implement this, but a lot of blog owners seem wary of it. They are afraid of a spam increase.
I have had a spam increase since using the dofollow plugin, but askimet has still caught them all...heh.

I found another great one: Comment Timeout, but I have to credit Michel Fortin for finding it.
Still, I thought it was a valuable addition to your post.
Thanks for the great info.
Regards,
Case
One of the reasons I didn't include it is because I don't "timeout" comments on my blog. I just had a comment on this post which is 3 months old, and actually get comments and trackbacks all the time.
I also just answered a comment on a 5 month old post.
I use Spam Karma for spam control - old posts which are not active receive a penalty on their Karma, thus my old dead posts even legitimate comments normally have to be approved.
On a post like this which is always highly active, I doubt the comments will ever receive a penalty.
An occasional spam comment has been known to slip through, but it is quite rare.

Do you know about SubscribeMe plugin for wordpress?
http://www.semiologic.com/software/subscribe-me/
You have any way to nofollow those links?
Thanks,
1. Hack the plugin yourself
2. Use the Add Link Attribute plugin listed above (as long as you are not using a version that is a widget - I seem to remember it was turned into a widget version)
3. Ask Denis to provide a version with NoFollow
4. Just add the buttons yourself to the sidebar, or use another plugin.
I can't provide a hacked version because of the terms under which Denis publishes his plugins.

I comment like crazy just for the fun of it. However... Getting a link is certainly a bonus. I have my own list that I track in Google reader. If I see a great post in that feed, reading it will usually get priority over reading other blog posts that have nofollow installed.
Aloha,
Dave.

This post as an example currently has 50 comments and even more external links from trackbacks, but most of the incoming juice is dispersed throughout my site, resulting in every post gaining a good share of juice.
Ultimately it will leave my site through some route. I don't use a blogroll, because the links are heavily discounted and not very relevant.
Whilst Google Supplemental Results reporting is fairly goofy currently, you won't find many blogs with a higher percentage of indexed pages than I currently have being reported.
Supplemental results are caused by lack of pagerank, and every large site is going to have pages that have that situation.
As per some of my more recent posts, I will be changing my site structue soon to channel the Google Juice a little better where I want it.
I did have some downtime, and I am still working things out with the registrars as to exactly how that can be avoided, though I have been a little busy.
This is a .eu , .eu have not been around for long, and the first round of registration refreshes have caused some teething problems as they have different regulations.

But what would be the point, when the community is now established on Bumpzee, and providing everything that is needed?
As it is many people are more keen to promote their own thing than a community, or we would already have 1000+ members and not 250+, but even that community is far better than people just visiting a bunch of links in a list.

could you explain or point me in the right direction to (simply;-) let me get the jist of follow, nofollow etc. I have just got semiologic and i am trying to find my way around it and i came across the nofollow and don't understand. At a guess, using logic, dofollow allows it to go through and nofollow stops it from? And if this is correct, stops it from going where. (Maybe you say, 'where ever you want it to go') and if so, maybe it is the concept that i am missing. If you get 5 please put some light on this for me;-)

Forget the nofollow on the popup page, that doesn't matter it is just a form and is meaningless.

Also, someone just created a Google search engine that lists all the do follow blogs that this "person" has found. He says he created is so people could find relevant niche blogs to post on but I don't like it.
Since I'm having major CPU resource overuse issues on my server (know of a good webhost??) I'll have to check out these plugins to make sure they don't use a lot of resources but I'm going to switch. I'm tired of my husband and I's 9 blogs being abused.

There is one thing I think I should correct from Matt's earlier reply suggesting that Nucleus CMS does not use nofollow. This is not actually the case (in all cases) and users of the Nucleus platform who are either unsure, or want to remove the nofollow attribute can find out how to do so at the official forums.
The Nucleus plugin is unfortunately snafu'd at present but there are clear instructions on how to remove nofollow manually from Nucleus here

I love your blog and thanks for your time. i use sem pro. would the plugins you recommend work with it?
i'm building a site where i'll have good use of danis's silo pages.
as well as having some subdomain blogs. maybe eventually by a few other authors.
i want on my sidebars the pages, related posts, latest posts, latest comments etc. and what with posts, comments and links i could end up with loads of outgoing links. however, i see sites well trafficked with dofollow on all links.
i guess it's a matter of becoming an authority site via content and real visitors to SEO ranking? seems to be 2 schools of thought about no/follow links whether for comments or inter-site linking?
my homepage will be a static sellpage with nav and some sidebar links
what's the easiest way to optimize since i use sempro and widgets?
worried about duplicated content. would this happen from multiple tags too?

I'm all for DOFOLLOW or just remove the URL field! Don't leave it with nofollow, that's more a trick in making some people comment without interest. So anyway, all for dofollow here,

I came here from FiddyP's site, to understand how to combine the removal/management of 'nofollow' with CommentLuv. I wanted to understand the nofollow/dofollow issues first. Between your post and all the great comments, I've got more ammo than needed!
This is great! Thanks again for helping us all get through this mess. Oh, and the hand-edits for Blogger is going to help me, too! I have a blogger site related to LinkedIn and this will help give back to those that visit (i'm a firm believer in pay-it-forward).
Thanks, Andy!

Thanks for this list, very useful! I am currently in the process of writing my first posts for a new blog for my company and now realise I should be putting some serious consideration into the benefits and drawbacks of no following comments!
Will definitely check these out and see how they work for me.

I look at no-follow like a gun control law. It mostly punishes the innocent, while the spammers will always be finding new ways to spam value-added sites.
We hope to attract people to our blog who wish to add valuable content, and we will gladly pass a link to them.
Thanks,

While spam drives me crazy, if we want comments (and I do) we have to be able to answer the "what's in it for me" question that people ask.

The trouble is, if you don't moderate your comments, spam can become a big problem.

Great post with some great resources.
A number of new plugins have been released, I should probably do an update and add in the ones that move the bar significantly, though more important are more articles about the SEO effects.

I firmly believe that having do-follow on your blog is a great way to give a little back to the people who take time to read and comment on your blog.

I was so fed up with spending 1 to 2 hours a day policing comments from human spammers leaving valid comments and pingback spamming that I was ready to give up on the DoFollow policy entirely.
Like many others, my time is spread very thin. This plugin will enable me to have more time to reply to commenters rather than wasting it on the spammers who don't deserve the time.

Which plugin are you currently using yourself to have dofollow comments?
I have seen more plugins launched since this list was written, but the overall recommendations remain the same.
There are a few more specialist SEO plugins, but I prefer to highlight those in SEO posts, when I have time.
The link from the official WordPress site is in some ways inconsequential for traffic - I am often regarded as one of the instigators/cheerleaders of the dofollow or ifollow movement, and thus the traffic/rankings from links generated far outweight a single link from WordPress.
The Bumpzee community died, possibly a good thing as it was abused.
My links are currently nofollow because I still need to hack the Disqus plugin
ah, cool, thanks for coming back and clarifying.
Iyust anted to download your plugin "Nofollow Those Dupes" but the link to .zi is not working. Is it still available und usable in WP?
But is it me, or are your comments doubled up?
Using FF 3.1, Ubuntu Jaunty.
.. I must install Disqus tho.
For dofollow plugins I would test this version from Shaun recently hacked from Lucia's Linky Love

Love your Nginx training stuff, but be careful using Vimeo - not for commercial use
thanks for your work
