I Do Follow...

Today I have learned how to make my page becomes a "Dofollow" page where all your comment leaved on this page are followed by the search bots.

All Blogger templates have the "Nofollow" attribute built into their comments. This is done to discourage comment spam..

Thanks to the post by Randa Clay with hermovement in helping me to turn off the "Nofollow" attribute by modifying the Blogger template with this simple step:

1) Login to dashboard and click on layouts of your blog.
2) Click on Edit Html subtab of Template tab.
3) Make a backup of your template into your hard drive by clicking on the Download Full Template link.
4) Put a check in the Expand Widgets Template Checkbox at the top of the Edit Template text box. (This expands the Blog Posts Widget Code within which is the comments code).
5) Then scroll down till you come to :


<dl id='comments-block'>
<b:loop values='data:post.comments'var='comment'>
<dt class='comment-author'expr:id='"comment-" + data:comment.id'>
<a expr:name='"comment-" +data:comment.id'/>
<b:if cond='data:comment.authorUrl'>
<a expr:href='data:comment.authorUrl' rel='nofollow'><data:comment.author/></a>
<b:else/>
<data:comment.author/>
</b:if>
<data:commentPostedByMsg/>
</dt>

Delete the words in red in the above code : rel='nofollow' and save the template.

For self-hosted Wordpress platform: Thanks to Mistanars at Makmal Cyber dot com for this guide:

1. Log in to your blog cPanel.
2. Find the File Manager and click.
3. Find in your wordpress blog folder name wp-includes and click.
4. In the wp-includes folder find default-filters.php file, right click then click to edit file.
5. Find this word add_filter(’pre_comment_content’, ‘wp_rel_nofollow’, 15); and delete it all. Don’t forget to save after that.
6. The second change is in comment-template.php. Find comment-template.php file, right click then click edit file.
7. Then find this word nofollow or rel=’external nofollow’ and delete it all. Then, save the changes made.
