Supposedly this was to help cut down the numbers of spam comments that blogs receive. However it can be a real pain in the ass. People who contribute to communities dont get the link love that they deserve.

I was going to make this blog a ‘dofollow’ blog – where every link and trackback is given a real link. However I tried this on a clients blog recently and the level of spam went through the roof – and they weren’t overly happy withbthe whole thing. As such I’ve decided to use the LinkLove plugin for WordPress – after 10 approved comments all your links will be made followable.

The LinkLove Plugin I’m using was mentioned EasyWordPress.com – and its available to download at All Passion Marketing.
