Fixin’ the Linky Love
One of the effects of PayPerPost has been in trying to get bloggers to increase the page ranking of their sites. One way is to leave comments on a site that has a higher page ranking than your own. As I found out several months ago, many sites automatically insert code that defeats this link love arrangement. So I started this site, I was pleased to learn that it didn’t insert the nofollow code — or so I thought.
Tonight is the first night that I have had a chance to do some work on my websites and to make some entries. With the recent concern among my fellow posties about “page rank thievery”, I want to make sure that my sites allowed the link love that they so crave. This is especially important since a couple of days ago all of my blogs have had an increase in their Google page rankings. I’m happy to say that “What’s All This Then” has gone from zero to three! In any case, tonight I went through the comments to my posts. To my dismay, though some allowed following, I discovered that some did not. I have immediately install a wordpress plug-in that now removes all nofollow code. As soon as I can get a chance to analyze the PHP code, I want to put an explicit “rel=follow” tag on every comment. I’ve done so on my blogspot site in hopes to force the Google bots to make note of all links to my sites. For now, you can rest assured that Google is not blocked into following your comments.
Of course, the question arises if this matters to you. I very much welcome your thoughts and ideas. So bring them on ….
