The art of "no-follow" links: WP Plugin

by Praval Singh on June 28, 2008

in Blog SEO, Blogging Tips, Wordpress Plugins

Having an opportunity to write sponsored posts is indeed a great way to earn money off your WordPress blog. But, at no point of time, I feel you’ll do it at the cost of your page rank or SEO, for that matter.

Keeping an eye on the links you put into your posts is extremely relevant. But what if you have more than a hundred posts on a blog which is running well over the past few months or years and you wish there was a magic button which could get a “nofollow” attribute to all your links!

You may now, breathe easy with this ‘no-follow-links-in-posts’ plugin.  

 

nofollow

Nofollow-links-in-posts plugin helps you add the “nofollow” attribute into links within posts. You have an option to enable “nofollow” attribute to links in posts which are older than “X” days. You need to select a category of posts for which you want this effect to hold good.   

The plugin automatically adds a rel=”nofollow” into links in posts older than “X” days!

Talking about compatibility with WP versions, the plugin works only with WordPress 2.5+. So, incase you’re running an older version of WordPress, you need to upgrade it. You may like to try out the latest beta release, we talked about in the previous post – WordPress 2.6 is peeping in!

Installation:

  1. Download the plugin.
  2. Unzip “nofollow-links-in-posts.zip” and upload the “nofollow-links-in-posts” folder to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory.
  3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  4. Go to the ‘Settings’ menu and click on ‘Nofollow Links in Posts’ to check out the plugin options.

I would recommend it to all blogger’s who are frequent with sponsored posts on their blogs. Happy no-following!

Thanks for the tips. I have just updated my blog to WP 2.5 and downloaded the plugin.

I think it’s about time I finally did this and see if my PageRank increases next time around.

What about adding a “nofollow” to comment posts? I’m noticing that by default, wordpress is not applying a “nofollow” to comment posts. Seems kind of odd.

Hello,

I would like to inform everyone that the support and development of this (Nofollow Links in Posts) plugin has been discontinued due to personal reasons. Anyone who wishes to modify or update the plugin can do so freely with the condition that the current GPL license are kept intact.

Sincerely,
Ibnu Asad
