No More “dofollow”
After a little bit of internal debate, I’ve decided to make this blog a “nofollow” blog – or in otherwords, put it back the way that it was.
For many, many months, perhaps even a year or two I’ve used a plugin which disabled the default “nofollow” on WordPress blogs to help folks out; give real people who are trying to build a real business online a little bit of help by providing them a real, honest-to-goodness link to their site.
But…alas, no more.
The amount of spam that I get has quite honestly gotten way out of hand. And I’m tired of performing maintenance on comments.
The last straw was when I received a comment that still had the spin tags contained within it! How’s that for professional?
It’s just taking up far too much of my time and I feel bad for those who are truly trying to build a business online and really need decent “dofollow” links.
So, hopefully, this will help reduce the amount of spam I get on a daily basis.
Just for the record, I’ve received over 400 spam comments in the last 30 days.
I ALWAYS check out the site that’s being promoted and while this used to be a way of dealing with spammy comments, I obviously can no longer take the time to deal with them.
Maybe at some time in the future, when things settle down a bit and I’ve been taken off whatever “dofollow” blog directories I’m on, I’ll re-implement it but for now, it’s all “nofollow”.
