DoFollow, A WordPress Plug-in

DoFollow is an easy to install WordPress plugin that disables the the automatic “nofollow” that is standard with all WordPress Blogs. If you want to reward your readers who comment, this will allow their link to be scraped by the search engines and credited to them. You can also set a time frame for allowing DoFollow and revert to the standard “nofollow” to help avoid Spam.

It is suggested you already have good Spam protection like Akismet or something similar.

WordPress Plug-in Comment Timeout

Comment Timeout is a WordPress plugin that allows you to selectively close comments on your blog to help reduce spam. There are three ways in which it can do this:

  1. It lets you close comments on old entries that do not have an ongoing, active discussion.
  2. It examines your spam queue and your Bad Behavior logs to let you close comments and trackbacks across the board to troublesome IP addresses.
  3. It allows you to reject comments that contain too many hyperlinks, or links in BBCode format.

I have found this very useful. Instead of me having to go in and manually change the status of comments, I have it done automatically. Akismet doesn’t catch All the Spam and this helps a lot.

WP Subscribe to Comments

WP Subscribe to Comments… There are a lot of Templates for WordPress that don’t have the option of allowing a reader to follow comments on a Post.  This Plug-in is an alternative to provide that option for your readers.  I just started using it, and it does increase interactivity with your readers.
