Derek-Baker.com is now a “Do-Follow” Blog
Well I finally decided to join the masses of bloggers that offer “link juice” by making a my blog a do follow blog. Hopefully I will recieve more quality comments because of this. I also added the Akismet Spam Plugin. Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not. This plugin comes with Wordpress and I had thousands of unapproved spam comments but since using it there has been ZERO spam!
History of Follow Tag
Back when Wordpress was first created they made the script built in for Google to notice the “no follow” tag, telling them it was bad to follow that link. This tag has stayed with Wordpress and requires a plugin to remove it. By removing the “no follow” tag from the comments it will encourage others to leave comments on your blog because they will benefit from it.
Top Commentators
I am sure you have seen this before on many blogs. It is the Top Commentators Plugin. The people will the most comments will be show on sitewide on the sidebar.
Example Scenario
An example of this plugin would be if someone that owned a Business Directory made a post about Incorporating a Business. Their link would show up in both the top commentators and the post they were commenting on.

Hi Derek,
Welcome to the dofollow movement! My blogs have been dofollow for a few months now, and the majority of comments I get are quality comments related to the post.
You may have to do a little comment management to delete the obvious spammers, but my experience has been that most people will leave good comments, because they realize if they take advantage of dofollow blogs, they won’t be dofollow for long.

Glad to hear that. I hope it encourages more visitors to leave their opinions.
