How to change links to "follow" in WordPress

**rufman** · Apr 12, 2009, 21:20

I have ran across the place on my Wordpress where I can change the links from "no follow" to "follow" but I can't find it now.

Does anyone know where this option is on the dashboard?

See the bottom of the page in the WordPress codex (the WP documentation site):
http://codex.wordpress.org/Nofollow

There is a plugin which by default makes yours links no follow, deactivate that plugin, your links will become follow.

Thanks for the posting. I would also like to know the plug-in deactivating which your links become follow.

That would be Lucia's Link Love. Hang on, I'll get the link for you.

I think there is a DoFollow plugin for this task. Search the Wordpress Plugin Database.

Yup that plugin works very well imho

I encountered this type problem before as all sites hosted on Wordpress are "no follow".

The site suggested by Dan Grossman is where I got the solution too.

Thanks for the info. I have just started a recipe blog and am contemplating making the links dofollow so I appreciate the instructions on how to do this.

Theres a plugin called 'DoFollow'. You simply upload it and activate it like any other plugin and all the "evil" NoFollow attributes are removed

wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sem-dofollow/

ok pardon me for my silly question but i really want to know dofollow or top Commenter isn't harmfull for your blog ?

**angga.w** · Apr 24, 2009, 07:22

hi, my site is still new PR0, so it is not harmful for my blog yet..

**thomasr** · Apr 24, 2009, 13:35

I use the dofollow plugin.....this way you will get more traffic....and who really cares about linking out....my sites are pr0 too.

They're about as harmful as breathing fresh clean air.

(In other words, they're safe.)
