Hey Everyone,
Its been a while since I’ve posted anything to my blog and I’m really sorry. I’ve have been the busy Home Improvement guy lately. I’ve been busy re-wiring some of the electrical throughout my house, I’ve installed an over the range microwave, installed some ceiling fans, and ran data cable throughout the house. I’ve been up in the attic way too many times. But I’m happy now and all those project that have been buggin’ me are finally finished!
But hey I wanted to show you a cool WordPress plug-in that fixes some things with the blog roll of wordpress thats always bugged me a bit. Have you ever noticed that anytime you add a link to your blog roll that the link is a DOFOLLOW link? I’ve never understood why the WordPress developers havent added a NOFOLLOW option to the relationship attribute for links within the blog roll. Plus just having the ability to control page rank is a must have for any website.
In the standard wordpress link options, down about half way you will notice a section called “Link Relationship (XFR)” This is where you can set the relationship attribute for any of the links within your Blogroll. But oddly enough “nofollow” isn’t in this list of options.
Wordpress has all types of link relationships that can be set. Every kind EXCEPT nofollow. What the heck?!?
Well, Andrew Shell has developed a handy little plug-in that will allow you to add NOFOLLOW to one link, some of the links, or all of the links in your Blog Roll. Its as simple as installing the plugin like any other plug-in. After it’s installed, You’ll see a new option under the Links section of the Wordpress dashboard to set the nofollow attribute for each of the links in your Blogroll.
Now you can manage your link juice, page rank, and not be penalized by Google for “selling links” all with one little free plug-in. AND.. This is way better than manually adding links to your sidebar and hand coding rel=”nofollow”.
Is this handy or what? Let me know. Leave a comment here and let me know if you have any favorite plug-ins to wordpress that you like.
