I regret installing the Search Status Extension and turning the pink box on. Especially if I am the first one to comment on your blog post and see that you put me in the pink box.

Can you be more generous than that? Use this plugin and then drop me a note here and I shall reward your blog with links and comments. :)

And while I still have your attenion take a look at the Ultimate List of DoFollow Plugins.

    I've been noticing that BUMPzee widget more often lately, and seeing some familiar avatars.

    What's your opinion on it compared to MyBlogLog?

    Cheers,

    David

    ps. Sorry for going off-topic. Pink's okay in my book.

    Spot on. It's a bit of a let down seeing your not being “Paid” or “Rewarded” for your comment. But at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter.

    In this day and age, with akismet and all the other methods of comment spam prevention, is there any real need for nofollow?

    Also, you can change the pink to a different colour with the plugin ;)

    @David Airey
    I have been using MyBlogLog for a very short time so I don't think I can make comaprison in that respect. I joined BumpZee because it started out as an affiliate arketing comunity. It was and still is a greatt palce to connect with like minded people. The communities are very focused around the topics. And I get abou 80% of traffic to this Blog from BumpZee Now it has grown into four other communities, one of which (SEO/SEM) might interest you. I would recommend you to go in an check things out. Scott, the developer of BumpZee will answer your questions.

    @Dave Davis
    Yes, I was thinkig to change the color to red and create a category on my blog called “red light disctrict” where I would blog about all the blogs out there flashing the colors :) I also think that many people do not realize that WordPress and onther blogging platforms have “nofollow” by default in the comments and trackbacks. I didn't, until I came across Adny Beard's blog

    @both. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

    NucleusCMS (the platform I use) does NOT use nofollow. But having found the option in the plugin in question I finally get the references to pink (call me slow some days).

    That's alright, it took me 2 months to get that reference also. How about that for being slow? :)

    Any knowledge of ways to make TypePad not do a “nofollow”? I had never thought of it, but just checked my source code. They automatically insert “nofollow” and I can't find a setting to change it…

  • By Vlad, March 29, 2007 @ 11:55 am

    @Amy

    I do not know, but I will alert Andy Beard about your question maye he knows the answer.

  • By Andy Beard, March 29, 2007 @ 12:36 pm

    I know that 2 years ago they implemented nofollow very fast, and then didn't progress with an option to remove nofollow for legitimate comments.

    That was actually Google's intention at the time as well.

    I think the only option is to contact Typepad support or vote with your feet.

    @Andy & Vlad-

    Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll look into other options after I graduate and have more time to tinker. I see a flag in one of the comment tags to enable/disable spam blocking, I'll give that a try next week. Seems like if that was it, though, I'd have been able to find someone saying so.

    For $150 a year they should let people decide for themselves whether they have a spam issue…

  • By Vlad, March 29, 2007 @ 2:27 pm

    Amy,

    I am not sure that disabeling spam blocking will disable “nofollow”…

    at $150 a year you probably can get your own hosting plan and use WordPress. Just a suggestion.

  • By Teli Adlam, March 29, 2007 @ 3:28 pm

    @Vlad: LOL.

    Amy, Vlad's right. At $150 per year, the minimum should be able to do is decide whether to nofollow people, but it may be better to get your own hosting account/WP.

    However, I can understand not having your own hosting account/WP installation if you don't want to worry about the management side of blogging — in that event, as Andy already said, either contact TypePad or start walking. :|

    As for your post, Vlad, I actually immediately modify my WP core files when I download it to remove all instances of nofollow. That means any subsequent installations of WP I do with those files will automatically have nofollow disabled.

    Although I think pink is cute on the lips, it's not so much on the web.

    ~ Teli

    (Admission: Some of my older blogs still have nofollow b/c they were installed before I started modifying installation files…but they're surely catching up.)

  • By Vlad, March 29, 2007 @ 3:42 pm

    Teli,

    Thanks for stopping by. It was Andy Beard who opened my eyes to the whole “nofollow” thing in the comments of your blog. If anything it is a way to thank your commentors for taking time and contributing to your blog.
