Q: What in the heck is this "No Follow" thing you're talking about Jordan?
Answer: --->
Why?
I’ve been totally swayed by an
article by Phil
Ringnalda. My weblog is spam-free. If people want to
contribute comments and links then I am happy to pass on
some of my page rank. Likewise, if bloggers link to me, I’d
like to get some of their reflected glory. Because my site
is pretty well moderated, I don’t have to assume that
comments are spam. Trackbacks are another matter of course
. I now
moderate all trackbacks/pingbacks to avoid this form of
spam.
How?
Put the following code in the WordPress file my-hacks.php.
It will remove the nofollow directive for both
links in comments and to the author’s home page.
<?php
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------
// REMOVE "NOFOLLOW"
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------
function comment_author_remove_nofollow($text) {
return preg_replace("/(<a href='[^']*') rel='external nofollow'/", "$1 rel='external'", $text);
}
function comment_remove_nofollow($text) {
return preg_replace("/(<a href='[^']*') rel='nofollow'/", "$1", $text);
}
// remove/replace filters
remove_filter('pre_comment_content', 'wp_rel_nofollow', 15);
add_filter('comment_text', 'comment_remove_nofollow');
add_filter('get_comment_author_link', 'comment_author_remove_nofollow');
?>
