If you’ve been reading some of my other posts, I’m on a DoFollow kick right now. But enough is enough, so let’s finish off this DoFollow series with a post on how to remove NoFollow from your blog. All it takes is a few simple clicks of your mouse.

There are a couple of ways to drop the NoFollow extension. Edit the code yourself or download one of the numerous DoFollow plugins that are available for nearly every blogging platform. The choice is yours, but we’ll be sticking with the plugin route here–as most of them provide a lot more functionality than you might think.

Alright, to start off, you’re going to need to figure out which plugin to use. If you’re on WordPress, I recommend that you check out the simple DoFollow Plugin or the more full featured Link Love Plugin. I’ve used both on other sites and they work superbly.

If that’s not enough of a choice for you, check out the grandaddy of all DoFollow related posts over at Andy Beard’s blog. He’s got the master list of all the plugins you could imagine. Great sleuthing indeed.

Once you’ve got your plugin downloaded, all you have to do is upload the file to your server. Activate the plugin, set the settings to whatever you want and you’re all set. Simple as that.

But there’s still more to do.

While having your blog’s comments and trackbacks set to DoFollow is a great first step, it’s not the final piece of the puzzle. You still need to get the word out that your blog is now offering DoFollow comments.

I wrote a post a few days ago with some of the best databases for you to submit your DoFollow blog. Submit to the free ones (and the pay ones if you think the cost is reasonable) and you’re all set.

But there is one last thing.

You should also sign up for the growing No NoFollow | I Follow | DoFollow Community at Bumpzee. Like the master list above, the Bumpzee community was also created by DoFollow pioneer, Andy Beard.

Also, thanks to these two posts on the benefits of DoFollow from the Ben Yoskovitz over at the Instigator Blog. Without them, I’d probably still be stuck with NoFollow.

I’m still not too fond of the “U Comment, I Follow” logo.
