Lucia’s Linky Love:
A DoFollow Plugin to Foil Human Comment Spammers!

Are you a dofollow blogger? Are you tired of human comment spammers leaving insipid, irrelevant comments just to get link-juice? Lucia’s Linky Love is the dofollow plugin for you!

What does the plugin actually do?


This is a variety of “dofollow” plugin. It’s main function is to strip “nofollow” tags from links in comments. The purpose is to encourage comments by rewarding commenters with “dofollow” links which boosts their rank in search engine. However, this particular plugin also has features that thwart human’s who are paid to visit blogs and leave insipid comments simply to boost their companies back links.

Here are the features:

  1. Encourages good comments: Dofollows are added to the author “name” and links in comment text after a commenter leaves some minimum number of comments. The blogger can set this minimum number to anything between 3 and 10. This encourages regular visitors to comment, but discourages spammers by forcing them to visit your blog many times before they get “dofollows”.
  2. Encourages links. Dofollows are added to trackbacks and pingbacks only after the blog author has left some minimum number of comments, trackbacks or pingbacks. This discourages scrapper sites from sending you spammy trackbacks but rewards real bloggers for linking you.
  3. Gives peace of mind. Dofollows will not be added to comments left more than 14 days after you published your most recent post. This is a safety feature that prevents your blog from becoming a link farm should you ever be unexpectedly absent from your blog due to illness or any other major life event.
  4. Thwarts overly aggressive SEO types. The blogger may refuse “dofollows” to “names” that contain too many characters. This can be used to avoid giving “dofollows” to commenters who claim their name is “cashmere dog sweater”.
  5. Gives you more control over dofollow / nofollow options. As is always the case, the blogger can also delete the comment, report the comment to Akismet or delete the name or url. That’s good for truly spammy comments. But with Lucia’s Linky Love, you get another, less drastic, option. You manually prevent “dofollow” but still show the comment url and name by deleting the user email address when editing the comment. This lets you permit borderline visitors continue to comment, but deprive them of “dofollows” until they behave the way you like visitors to behave.

Get Lucia’s Linky Love Plugin.

  1. Install the plugin: Download Lucia’s Linky Love. Unzip, upload into your plugin folder; activate.
  2. Find the Admin Panel: Visit your Wordpress Admin panel find “Options” click. Click “Lucia_LinkyLove” in the menu sub-bar. The admin panel will open.

    Lucias Linky Love Dofollow plugin
     
  3. Customize: In the top box, enter the number of comments you want visitors to leave before the “author name” associated with their comment becomes “dofollow” in the top box. In the second box, ener the number of comments you want visitors to leave before the comments they drop in the content become “dofollow”. In the third box, enter the maxmum number of characters in a “name” you are willing to dofollow. Finally, decide if you want me to drop links in your blog.
  4. Click Submit. Lucia’s Linky Love is now working!

Now for the big question:

Should you drop me links?

Added LinkI bet you are trying to decide if you should give me links? Well, the links have several purposes. One is to get me zillions of links and propel me into the top ranks of money making bloggers. The more important reason is to inform valued commenters and spammers you are participating in Dofollow using my plugin rather than other plugins. My plugin makes it more difficult for human comment spammers to spam and it may discourage them from visiting your blog.

Currently, the plugin places a link just after single post; the text says
“Comments protected by Lucia’s Linky Love.” Technically, this text appears outside the area where programs like PPP forbid links. However, to avoid the possibility that PayPerPost will ding you for links, you can limit display these informational links to older posts only be selecting: “Yes, but only on old posts”; older is defined as more than 180 days old. You can also exclude these links entirely.

What do I suggest you do? I think it’s useful to inform visitors about the plugin. So, I would suggest you select “yes” and display my links for a little while. Later, when you have time, create a “comment policy” page where you describe your comment policy; instead of showing my links, link to that. On that page, describe your policy and mention “Lucia’s Linky Love”, posting the url of my plugin page. That will give me one link instead of zillions and also inform spammers and valued visitors of your comment policy.

Summary

Download Lucia’s Linky Love. Use it. Tell people about it.

Finally, leave me comments and trackbacks and let me know how Lucia’s LinkyLove works for you. And remember: I use this plugin. So, if you leave several comments, you’ll be dofollowed too!

    oops!

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: str_ireplace() in /home/fooserver/public_html/netjourney/wp-content/plugins/Lucia_s_LinkyLove.php on line 296

    I was set at “3, 3, 15, yes” and had no other “follow” plugins activated at the time…

    I’ll be out most of the day, will check back this evening…

  4. Lucia on July 25th, 2007 8:02 am

    str_ireplace() is a php function and it’s missing in our php installation. I just checked and the function is new to php 5 (which many servers don’t have installed.) I just recoded to use the slightly less intelligent str_replace() which existed in php 4. (The newer version is case sensitive so I had to write 2 extra lines of code with the older stupider function. But now it should run on more hosting services.)

  5. Lucia on July 25th, 2007 8:05 am

    hangon.. spoke to soon. I’m uploading now.

  6. Lucia on July 25th, 2007 8:19 am

    The new one is up. (Obviously, I’m going to have to keep track of how many hosts use PHP 5. If it’s very new, I’ll need to avoid calls like that.)

    Ok.. this works for both upper and lower case!

  9. Anna (12 comments.) on July 25th, 2007 10:08 am

    p.s. I installed your latest version and I’m still getting the same error…

  10. Anna (12 comments.) on July 25th, 2007 10:12 am

    OK! hehe

    I don’t know where I went wrong, but I downloaded the current file to a different place on my computer and unzipped it. Then I uploaded it and it worked. All is well that ends well, right? :)

  11. Lucia on July 25th, 2007 10:19 am

    Ahh.. you just probably ftped to an incorrect directory. I do that all the time!

    I found a workaround for str_ireplace on the web and added that so the plugin works with both php4 &5. Now I need to go update NoOldSpamLinks.

    Thanks for finding this for me. I hadn’t been watching out for these missing “new” functions. (It takes 2 lines in php 4 to do what could be done with one line in php5. But, the programmer needs to know that function is missing. Sigh. . . :) )

  12. Anna (12 comments.) on July 25th, 2007 5:48 pm

    Home now and getting ready to demote ya… :)

    It seems to be working…

  13. Andy Wettbewerb on July 25th, 2007 7:09 pm

    thanks for this nice tip. i search a very long time for a plugin like this. i hope you understand my english :-)

  14. Vish..! (1 comments.) on July 25th, 2007 11:07 pm

    Is this a wordpress version? You got a blogspot version? If yes I need one :)

    And what if a guy comments in 10 posts of yours??

  15. Chris (2 comments.) on July 26th, 2007 2:51 am

    I like the sound of this plugin. I’ve been using the LinkLove plugin which only activates DoFollow after a set number of comments, but this goes to a whole new level…..

  16. swollenpickles (4 comments.) on July 26th, 2007 5:55 am

    I have to say, this plugin sounds a lot better than the standard do follow plugin in. I installed then uninstalled that after having to clean out too many comments from “cashmere dog sweaters” etc.

  17. Lucia on July 26th, 2007 7:07 am

    @Vish,
    Yes, this is Wordpress. I don’t know how to write plugins for Blogspot. (Is it even possible? )

    I’ll answer what happens when the reach 10 in a blog post because I need to post some “tutorials” to help us bloggers have full control of our blogs.

    @Chris. I liked LinkyLove, but I realized it just wasn’t enough. I also used to work at a National Lab associated with weapons lab and because of the culture developed the habit of thinking “What if I wanted to get around security”. (We were told to do this and report ways so counter measures would be created.) Well… LinkyLove only checked on email, which meant that if I were a spammer, I could often learn people’s emails and slide my spam under LinkyLove’s radar! Since spammers are motivated, it’s logical to assume they eventually will. By forcing the domain match, even if they do, their spam for another domain won’t “match”.

    @swollenpickles: Needless to say, I too had the pleasure of meeting “cashmere dog sweaters”, who left a link on the dog sweater blog page at my knitting blog. For some reason, people are more aggressive about leaving “SEO names” on that blog.

    On this blog, the problem is more subtle. I get many links to sites in languages I do not speak. Since I can’t easily check whether or not they are spammy sites, I strip those urls. (Apologies to non-spammers who visit and want to promote valualbe sites in Turkish, German, Urdu, Swedish etc. If it’s not in Spanish, English or French the link is gone.)

  18. simon (1 comments.) on July 26th, 2007 7:23 am

    interesting article, not really got into love links yet but can see the advantage

  19. Anna (12 comments.) on July 26th, 2007 7:49 am

    I’m curious as to why my last comment went into the Akismet queue… it was a good comment! hehe

  20. Anna (12 comments.) on July 26th, 2007 7:50 am

    Probably because I keep derailing comments!

    But what is this all about?

    Submitted comment 349 to Akismet.com as spam (Akismet said it’s ham)
    Sorry, but your comment has been flagged by the spam filter running on this blog: this might be an error, in which case all apologies. Your comment will be presented to the blog admin who will be able to restore it immediately.
    You may want to contact the blog admin via e-mail to notify him.

  21. Sarakastic (2 comments.) on July 26th, 2007 1:27 pm

    I had some problems with the original link love plugin, could never get it to work. So far, your plugin is working great, & I love all the customization, I wrote about it on my blog, I’d send you a trackback but I don’t know how. Thanks for the great plugin!

  22. Lucia on July 26th, 2007 2:23 pm

    @Anna,
    That information is inserted by Spam Karma. It doesn’t “like” you because it thinks you are commenting too much without having a long history of commenting. The key to what it doesn’t like is these three things about your comment:
    -2.97 - Snowball Effect: Commenter granularity (based on IP): 0 old comment(s) (karma avg: 0.000000), 10 recent comment(s) (karma avg: 6.060000).
    -13.50 - Snowball Effect: Commenter granularity (based on URL): 1 old comment(s) (karma avg: 8.000000), 6 recent comment(s) (karma avg: 4.830000).
    -1.48 - Snowball Effect: Commenter granularity (based on email): 0 old comment(s) (karma avg: 0.000000), 10 recent comment(s) (karma avg: 6.060000).

    On the one hand, Spam Karma sees you’ve commented 6 times “recently”. On the other hand, it searches for “old” comments, and you only had 1 “old” one. So, SK gave you a whole bunch of negative points!

    SpamKarma has it’s own idea of “new” and “old”. Yesterday was still “new” to Spam Karma.

    Anyway, you got a total of -9.95, so Spam Karma only moderated you I was able to rescue you. (If you get -100, Spam Karma will deep six you without ever letting me even see your comment. In which case, you need to email me and I can white list you manually.)

    For what it’s worth, Akismet thinks you are ok and gave you +7. So did I and rescued you. My rescuing your comment will give you positive Karma points in the future because SpamKarma now has you listed as someone I, the all powerful blog owner, fished out of the moderation queu.

    Spam Karma is great– but yes, it can sometimes spam people who jump into conversations enthusiastically!

  23. swollenpickles (4 comments.) on July 27th, 2007 12:36 am

    Just letting you know I installed your plugin on my recording blog. I’ve linked back to this page for you. The blog is digitalburn.org

  24. Anna (5 comments.) on July 27th, 2007 7:43 am

    I don’t like spam karma. I’d like to notify people when their comment goes to Akismet using only Akismet though. Do you know of a plugin like that?

  25. Lucia on July 27th, 2007 3:43 pm

    Sorry, no. I don’t know how to tell people their comment went to Akismet. If I send it to Akisment, it just goes there.

  26. Anna (12 comments.) on July 27th, 2007 5:35 pm

    Yeah, I guess most normal people wouldn’t want to do that… I don’t use Spam Karma or Bad Behavior because I don’t need them… Your spam karma keeps kicking me in the butt, hehe… sorry I keep needing to be rescued… I guess I talk too much… :P

    I very seldom find any comments at all in my Akismet queue because my captcha plugin works so well (knock on wood)… the only comments I find are ones I usually have to let back out again…

  27. Lucia on July 27th, 2007 8:39 pm

    I should have manually whitelisted you before!

    Normally, Spamkarma has not problems with people who comment a lot. It got upset at you because you “suddenly” arrived and started commenting a lot. ( Mind you, this blog is new. So everyone is arriving “suddenly”. But SpamKarma doesn’t quite realize I have no backlog of people who commented last month. So… it’s dinging you.)

    I whitelisted our domain name and the IP you are on right now. Hopefully, that will solve this problem.

  28. Webd360 (1 comments.) on July 29th, 2007 8:59 pm

    thanks for the plugin, I will definitely try it out. I first saw your post today (July 29) about how there was no way that love website would get a dofollow link in time (since you need 3 comments to get a dofollow link) and I was wondering what that plugin was. I was about to ask you, but first I decided to check your plugins category and voila! Thanks again,
    webd360

  29. Tinu Abayomi-Paul on July 30th, 2007 9:24 am

    This sounds absolutely perfect for what I need. I’m going to download it right now - heard about it from Andy Beard’s review.

  30. Stephen Cronin (13 comments.) on August 1st, 2007 4:32 am

    Sounds great, but I just chose a different plugin (4 days ago, and this wasn’t listed on Andy Beard’s review then)!

    Your plugin has got lots of extra things the others don’t, but the plugin I went with has a delay on turning off nofollow. Yours doesn’t seem to have this - any plans to add it?

    For me, the delay feature is great because I have a couple of days to prune spam before they get the love.

    Anyway, great work!

  31. Lucia on August 1st, 2007 5:33 am

    Steve,
    The plugin doesn’t have a time delay. Once the commenter hits the number you set, the comments go follow.

    Coding in a time delay would be easy. I’m collecting ideas and I’ll be adding them. (But I don’t want to add way too many because people freeze when they think they need to decide 10 things at a time.)

    The main reason I opted againts the time delay is right now spamfilters like SpamKarma and Akismet are catching the ‘bot spam. At the same time, the humans hired to spam are only entering one or two comments at a time. So, I can catch those and delete (or strip URLs or strip emails– which is the method of doing case-by-case nofollow.)

    So, for me, that wasn’t urgent. Still, my philosophy on these things is to give the options bloggers want so they can do what they want. If I get a few more suggestions, I’ll probably set a morning to code and add a few.

  32. Michelle Gartner (10 comments.) on August 2nd, 2007 1:28 am

    Hi Lucia- this is the original reason I came over here from Tricia’s Musings to see about your new plugin. I have Askimet on my wordpress blog it’s a vintage site called One of a Kind Wisconsin and I am not to sure I am happy about Askimet, I have lost a few decent comments over there, not sure how though… most likely my human error. My other blog is on blogger and I guess I am doing ok there anyway, so far no one has tried to really go at me with Spam. I probably should get your plug in installed, sooner then later. I notice from my older blog, Smart not Cheap, the older it gets the more the weirdo’s come out.
    -Michelle
    PS I love your knitting blog, even though I am a crocheter and cross stitcher. You had some Disney Hercules sweaters on there the other day that were really cool.

  33. Lucia on August 2nd, 2007 5:27 am

    Hi Michelle!
    If you don’t like Akismet, try Spam Karma. I use SpamKarma with the Akismet plugin and love it. SpamKarma gets smarter and smarter over time.
    In fact, if you install SpamKarma, contact me and I’ll help “preload” you database with my blacklist so it catches more spam than average from day 1.

  34. Michelle Gartner (10 comments.) on August 5th, 2007 12:48 am

    Thank you Lucia- I’ll have to ask my husband to do it. You might think I am technically deficient, but here’s the deal. I had a blog on Wordpress, that was a little too tight niched, I was selling hard to find books on it, but then decided that I wanted to do more vintage items not just books (clothes, toys, etc) and so I had to overhaul the site. When I did- I picked a new yemplate. On the old site I did almost all my own adjustments, widgets, ad placements etc. This new one the template must have some bad code in it or something- I have had so many problems with it. So just to do even a little more then post- I have to ask my husband to give me a hand. This is a reason, I have left my other blog on Blogger, because I can manipulate it myself. Thankfully my husband knows code, because I swear my wordpress blog acts haunted sometimes. I lay something in and it looks like crud. Sorry to write so much, it’s frustrating because I like my new site layout- but I don’t alter it much. I have also seen the same unaltered template used by other bloggers and they have problems too, code being seen and spilling out of frames, etc. -Michelle

  35. Aaron :: miLienzo.com (2 comments.) on August 5th, 2007 2:59 am

    I am getting the following error message in the admin page when I install your plugin:

    Error, SELECT query failed in while getting status and urgency from ticket table.
    SELECT `post_date` FROM `wp_posts` WHERE `post_status` = ‘publish’ ORDER BY `post_date` DESC LIMIT 0 , 1

    Any ideas what might be going wrong or how to fix it?

    Thanks

  36. Lucia on August 5th, 2007 6:16 am

    Aaron,
    I’ll take a look at that and see if it’s in a format some mysql programs don’t like.

  37. Lucia on August 5th, 2007 6:19 am

    Michelle– I feel your pain! I like programming php, but I absolutely hate fiddling with CSS. Many (but not all) of the format issues are associated with bad style sheets. Widgets that let you drag and drop can seem handy, but somethings they just make things harder if something goes wrong.

    One thing is for sure: if you don’t like a template out of the box, you should find another template before investing time with that one.

  38. Lucia on August 6th, 2007 7:35 am

    Remove No Follow Tags – One somewhat controversial method of increasing reader participation is to remove the no follow tags that are included by default on links left in the comments. By removing the no follow tags search engines will recognize and follow links to your readers’ blogs. Andy Beard has an extensive list of DoFollow and NoFollow plugins.

    Hi, thankyou for the Plugin, I am using it and have credited you in my sidebar rather than leaving the link in the comment section. I have a question - I am assuming the number of comments next to the commenter’s name is due to this plugin, and is it possible to turn that off? To me, it seems a little like a popularity contest, and was wondering if there’s a simple way to remove that, but keep the DoFollow thing happening.

    Hi Lucia,

    I installed your plugin, but switched back to LinkLove until I discover how to remove the comment count after each name.

    Do you know what code I need to remove in order to do this?

    Great work by the way.

  54. Lucia on August 30th, 2007 5:49 am

    Dave,
    You can’t remove that, but I can make removing it an option. Then you could. :)

    I partly put that feature in when writing the plugin to make sure everything was working. Showing the number lets me check that all the settings are working right. Now, I kind of like it, but if some people don’t, that can just be another toggle.

  55. Lucia on August 30th, 2007 5:51 am

    @Katie– I’m reading in reverse order. That’s two requests. I’ll add a toggle to take out the number of comments.

  56. Katie (3 comments.) on August 30th, 2007 6:19 am

    Hi Lucia,

    Thanks for that! Actually it would be good to have it as a toggle, because in the future I might want to switch it back on. Thanks for all your hard work, it’s really very much appreciated! :)

    Katie

  57. Lucia on August 30th, 2007 8:25 am

    Some will have noticed the comment number count is gone! I’ll have the zip file available in a few hours. For some reason, Dreamhost’s servers is stubborn about letting me delete or overwrite zip files. Currently, the link to the zip file should be dead, it doesn’t show in http://ftp. However, for some reason, you can download it!

    The new toggle will be available by some means by the end of the day.

  58. Ja (2 comments.) on August 30th, 2007 8:47 am

    From what I have read, I want it. It sounds great. I don’t get a huge amount of comments just yet but I have had the comment spam recently. Thank you!!

  59. Jaz (1 comments.) on August 30th, 2007 8:48 am

    Once again, my name thing didn’t put the Z in the name Jaz. So, that’s me. Not actually trying to run up the number of comments right now. Just wanted you to know it’s me.

  60. Selif (3 comments.) on August 30th, 2007 9:12 am

    Thanks for this great plugin. I currently display ‘Recent Comments’ on my sidebar, how can I get your plugin to work with those links just like they do with the links on the comments section?

  85. Lucia on September 23rd, 2007 7:04 pm

    @Nath–
    Unfortunately, I can’t write a plugin to do much to the sidebar because Wordpress doesn’t have “a hook” for the sidebar!

    In principle, I could try to deal with every single plugin used in sidebars, but in practice, that’s not worth the time. Don’t worry about follows or nofollows in the temporary links in the sidebar. Google tends to be suspicious of new links, and since the new comment links disappear, they have very little “link juice” effect.

  86. Nath @ Reformed Geek (3 comments.) on September 23rd, 2007 7:08 pm

    Okay, thats fair enough. I thought there might have been a %rel code or something that I could of placed into that plugin that would get replaced with either nofollow or dofollow. I see now that it is not that simple. My main reason was not for Google, but for Technorati - it uses any link it can find to increase ‘authority’.

    Thanks again for a great plugin though.

  87. Lucia on September 23rd, 2007 7:13 pm

    Ahh! Well, if *you* want to modify the code for the recent comments plugin, I can probably tell you how to do that! I just thought you were asking if I could modify my plugin to sort of apply something happening in the sidebar, and generally speaking, I can’t.

    I am using this plugin, and I have a couple of questions:

    (1) I have set the plugin to remove the “nofollow” tag after 3 comments. How do I check whether the “nofollow” tag has been removed after 3 commnets?

    I’d like to make sure the tag is really removed, or my readers will think that I’m lying to them, LOL.

    (2) Is this plugin compatible with WordPress 2.3?

  100. Lucia on October 11th, 2007 5:56 am

    @Pelf: I haven’t checked with 2.3, but I can do that today. (It should be ok, but you never know for sure until you check. I do need to update my other plugins that use categories.)

    To check on the nofollow, do you have the firefox extension that shows nofollows in pink? Install that. Otherwise, you need to look at the source code and search for “nofollow”. Look for someone who has inserted more than three comments. Also, picking the option to show the number of comments is useful. That way, your visitors see “1 comment”, “2 comment” etc.

    James,

    What makes you think that? Have a look at the comments above - you’ll notice that anyone who’s commented 3 times or more (on the whole site) have links with no-follow disabled. Sure the most recent commentators have nofollow links, but they’ve only left one comment on the site.

    That’s a feature of this plugin and what make Lucia’s plugin different from most other dofollow plugins.

  134. Lucia on December 29th, 2007 7:41 pm

    My plugin stops following if I don’t post for 14 days. Then, whenI come back, I have a chance to double check, and delete.

    I’ve had your plugin running for a while now, and I love it. I only have one problem. It won’t put the comment count into the Recent Comments widget or the recent comments in the dashboard.

    I’ve narrowed it down to the plugin hijacking the get_comment_author_link filter. For whatever reason, wordpress isn’t passing the comment_ID in the way that the plugin is expecting (or at all). The plugin then doesn’t recognize the comment and can’t get an accurate count.

    Any ideas on fixing that? The only thing I can come up with is to manually write a new widget for recent comments that would bypass the get_comment_author_link filter so it doesn’t go through the plugin.

    [...] Lucia's LinkLove: By default, WordPress marks all links in post comments as "nofollow", which means search engine spiders won't follow them, and the site being linked to doesn't get "credit" for the incoming link. Because a lot of search engines base site rankings partially on the incoming links a site gets, the nofollow feature helps discourage spam comments. Lucia's LinkLove lets you configure your site so any visitor who has made more than a certain number of good comments has the "nofollow" tag removed from their comments. This helps encourage repeat comments, and gives regular commenters' sites a little "thank you" boost for the time they spend at your blog. [...]

    I am so fed up with wasting 1 to 2 hours of my day policing comments simply because my blog uses DoFollow. But no more, I’m going to give yours a try instead.

    [quote]What do I suggest you do? I think it’s useful to inform visitors about the plugin. So, I would suggest you select “yes” and display my links for a little while. Later, when you have time, create a “comment policy” page where you describe your comment policy; instead of showing my links, link to that. On that page, describe your policy and mention “Lucia’s Linky Love”, posting the url of my plugin page. That will give me one link instead of zillions and also inform spammers and valued visitors of your comment policy. [/quote]

    I’d be happy to do that… what would you like for me to say about Lucia

    I have had your plugin installed on my blog looong ago but deactivated it since I could not find the place where I have to change the settings for the plugin. I just upgraded my wordpress blog to version 2.7.

    Where in Wordpress 2.7 do I find the options/setting for the plugin?

    I need to update the plugin. They revamed the hooks when they changed to 2.7,

  278. Alex Newell(new comment) on March 14th, 2009 2:09 pm

    Hi my blog is a 2.71 and tells me that the plugin can’t be activated because it would trigger a fatal error - and specifically mentions line 59.

    Help!

    :-)

    My other 2.71 blog activated it after a couple of tries - it’s on a different host?

    Any chance of you updating / fixing this Lucia?

    Optimistically…

    The problem with do-follow is people will spam. If a blog is good enough then the blog owner won’t need to have do-follow because people will comment to put their point of view accross, not to gain a back link.

    The BBC is a perfect example of this. There are no links in the forums and blogs, yet they have many users.

    However, when a blog is starting and it wants to get a upper hand, their is no harm in attracting people who want do-follow links, because some will become hooked, so even if you change to no-follow, people will still comment.

  287. WordPress SEO & traffic tips for newbies, Part 1 — mivox.(new comment) on April 24th, 2009 3:49 am

    [...] Lucia’s LinkLove: By default, WordPress marks all links in post comments as “nofollow”, which means search engine spiders won’t follow them, and the site being linked to doesn’t get “credit” for the incoming link. Because a lot of search engines base site rankings partially on the incoming links a site gets, the nofollow feature helps discourage spam comments. Lucia’s LinkLove lets you configure your site so any visitor who has made more than a certain number of good comments has the “nofollow” tag removed from their comments. This helps encourage repeat comments, and gives regular commenters’ sites a little “thank you” boost for the time they spend at your blog. [...]

    Hmm, great plugin, will be sure to test it on my blog soon.

    I love those new plugins that let you set how many comments people need in order to get link luv, I’d also add a javascript modular popup next to the field saying “read our comments policy” with a short description of main points, need to remember about that.

    Thanks for the post.
