To Follow or NoFollow? Leave your Link.

I stumbled across Andy Beard’s Ultimate List of DOFOLLOW & NOFOLLOW PlugIns looking for some “follow” advice on my blogs.

I downloaded the WP Plugin: Nofollow from Home to add the “rel=nofollow” to the homepage posts of this very site along with some of my other blogs, so Google wouldn’t follow the affiliate links.  You can be penalized for too many affiliate links on a site.

Then WordPress automatically adds the “rel=nofollow” to post comments, so I downloaded the DoFollow WP Plugin from Semiologic to remove the tag on comments and trackbacks.  That will encourage other webmasters to comment and link to specific website posts knowing it will help their PR.  Go ahead and try it out.  Leave a comment on this very post including your URL – can’t beat a free one-way link… unless, of course, you do want to link to this site!

P.S. Yes, I know it’s Friday, and I am wearing a free t-shirt.  I’ll see if I can get one of my daughters to snap a pic…

    What I do with affiliate links, most of them pass through my own tracking script, though you can also just create pages that do a meta redirect.

    Then you can block the affiliate link directory with robots.txt so they are 100% guaranteed not to pass link love.

    My problem is sometimes I am in a bit of a rush, and get a little lazy.

    The whole thing is just far too complicated for me. I just let Google get on with it and trust in the fact that they know what they’re doing. I guess that’s why I’d never make a good marketer. I do use robots.txt though when I notice a surge in spam bots running wild on my site.

    There was this guy see.
    He wasn’t very bright and he reached his adult life without ever having learned “the facts”.
    Somehow, it gets to be his wedding day.
    While he is walking down the isle, his father tugs his sleeve and says,

    “Son, when you get to the hotel room…Call me”

    Hours later he gets to the hotel room with his beautiful blushing bride and he calls his father,

    “Dad, we are the hotel, what do I do?”

    “O.K. Son, listen up, take off your clothes and get in the bed, then she should take off her clothes and get in the bed, if not help her. Then either way, ah, call me”

    A few moments later…

    “Dad we took off our clothes and we are in the bed, what do I do?”

    O.K. Son, listen up. Move real close to her and she should move real close to you, and then… Ah, call me.”

    A few moments later…

    “DAD! WE TOOK OFF OUR CLOTHES, GOT IN THE BED AND MOVED REAL CLOSE, WHAT DO I DO???”

    “O.K. Son, Listen up, this is the most important part. Stick the long part of your body into the place where she goes to the bathroom.”

    A few moments later…

    “Dad, I’ve got my foot in the toilet, what do I do?”
