I was unaware of the default no follow on wordpress engine. By default all the links on a unmodified wordpress blog are ‘NO FOLLOW’. This means, the links do not count as backlinks. This isn’t very encouraging to maintain relations in the blogger community. As the links don’t provide backlinks, people won’t care to get their links on your blog. The blog with no follow links would lie un-noticed in the community due to lack of backlinking.

To make a wordpress blog a DO FOLLOW blog the simple way. Download the plugin – DO FOLLOW plugin. Then activate it.

UPDATE: First of all, the plugin won’t work with Disquss and I love Disqus. Thanks to namanzone. I’m not uninstalling Disqus neither trying to “do follow” now. There is no doubt comments help drive traffic and build relations. It is pretty lame for people to not comment just because their links won’t get followed by search engines. NO FOLLOW on wordpress is there for some reason. At least I won’t get bombarded with infinite spam. Do Follow stays for now.
