I’ve made some cool updates to my blog configuration.

  1. Yes, the trackbacks are now DoFollow - that means you get a valid linkback from my blog when you trackback to any of my post from your blog. Simply put:
    “U TrackBack, I Follow” . (As you might know that backlinks are important for performing well in Search Engines, sending a trackback to my blog will earn you a backlink of PR4 )

    I’ve achieved this by the “DoFollow TrackBacks Plugin” by TurkHitBox.com

    I’ve thought about making the comments too DoFollow, but, upon second thought, i dropped that idea and decided to make the trackbacks DoFollow

  2. I’ve installed the Nicer Trackbacks Plugin tooWhat it does ?
    This plugin changes the display of trackbacks from:

    [...] Trackback text [...]

    to something a little more readable - like:

    Trackback text …

Have you made the comments/trackbacks in your blog DoFollow? Or is it NoFollow by default? Is it that you were’nt aware of “DoFollow” and “NoFollow”‘ ?
Here’s how the both will look like:

<a href='http://www.yoursitename.com' rel='nofollow'>The Link Anchor text</a>
<a href='http://yoursitename.com/' rel='DoFollow'>The Link Anchor text</a>

Have you got any doubts regarding this? And share your opinions on DoFollow and NoFollow in the comments.
