Remove rel="nofollow" from Blogger Blog

by Arpit Kumar on 13 September 2008


Do you know that the use of NoFollow in comments and backlinks on Blogger ( & WordPress )  blogs is on by default ?

The rel=”nofollow” attribute is an HTML attribute used to tell some search engines ( including Google )  that a link should not influence the linked target’s ranking . So , if someone links like : a href = “http://www.example.com/” rel=”nofollow” , search engines willn’t credit the linked page for ranking .

Bloggers need this attribute in the comment section . Because , many visitors try to raise their own websites’ search engine rankings by submitting linked blog comments .

But , NoFollow can’t be solution to this problem . I have removed the option of NoFollow from this blog . And , here is how you can remove this option from your Blogger blog :

  • Go To “Edit HTML” section . ( Dashboard > Layout )
  • Check the “Expand Widget Templates” option .
  • Now look for rel=”nofollow” . You can use Find option of your browser from View menu .
  • You will find two results : One for Comment’s URL and another for Backlinks .
  • Delete the rel=’nofollow’ . Save the Template . You are done !

Ensure that you moderate all the comments , to prevent comment spam .


It is all about loving your readers !

If you want to spread your Google juice, why use a link-condom?
