			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many Webmasters, Bloggers (I think one and the same) hates &#8220;<strong>No Follow</strong>&#8221; term. and yes its obvious. Commenting on others blog, etc things can give you backlinks if they are &#8220;Do Follow&#8221;, but now a days most of the bloggers are using No Follow tag in there comment section (and even me too, My Blogs comments <strong>were</strong> <a href="http://chetangole.com/blog/2008/07/you-comment-i-will-follow/">do Follow, but now they are No Follow</a>).</p>
<p><strong>Google Blog</strong> , Officially stated that &#8220;We encourage webmasters to use No Follow tag in there comment section to avoid Comment spamming&#8221;. you can read more <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/01/preventing-comment-spam.html">here</a>.So Google bot will never count No Follow tagged links in terms of Pagerank Juice.</p>
<p>Yet another reason to use No Follow is &#8220;<strong>Bad Neighborhood</strong>&#8220;.<br />
If we give <strong>Do Follow link</strong> to any Bad site such as Casin0,P0rn etc, will harm your Pagerank and overall quality of site in terms of Google. and if our commentator will use such link then this may be harmfull for our site ranking only ..</p>
<p><span id="more-130"></span><br />
So i populate few reasons or you can say few things,<br />
<strong>&#8220;Where to use NO FOLLOW and where to use DO FOLLOW ?&#8221; in our blog.</strong><br />
These conditions are also applicable in your normal posts.</p>
<p><strong>Where to use Do Follow</strong><br />
1. Related content sites.<br />
2. Blogs who shares Pagerank Juice with others<br />
3. High quality blogs (In view of Google e.g. Official Google blogs, etc)<br />
4. Your Friends <img src='http://chetangole.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
5. From where your copied the post (If you copy something)</p>
<p><strong><br />
Where to use No Follow</strong><br />
1. Unrelated content sites. (Not related to your post topic)<br />
2. Sites who never share there Pagerank Juice with other (Like Wikipedia, Youtube)<br />
3. Your Feedburner Feeds (Why your Feeds need high Pagerank ?)<br />
4. Casin0, P0rn etc like sites.<br />
5. Affiliate Links (Why give them double profit ?)<br />
6. Bad Neighborhood (Its you, who decide who is bad and Whos Good)</p>
<p>I will frequently update this post, if i got more reasons .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a blogger, i know how important the backlinks are.<br />
What if you got few backlinks for free ? commenting on my blog will help you to get free backlinks !!<br />
My blogs comments auther section links are <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">DO FOLLOW</span> !!<font color="red">*</font><br />
So Enjoy free backlinks from my blog. keep commenting.<br />
But remember, the spammer comments will be 100% removed from my blog , comments are moderated so that i can monitor each and every comment on my blog.</p>
<p>You have a wordpress blog ?<br />
Want to make it &#8220;You comment , i will Follow&#8221; ?</p>
<p>Just follow these simple steps.                                      <span id="more-7"></span><br />
1. Either install any <a href="http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&amp;q=wordpress+do+follow&amp;btnG=Google+Search&amp;meta=" target="_blank">DO FOLLOW Plugin</a> in your wordpress. which you can get just by Goooogling.</p>
<p>2. Or if you want to do manual tweaks in your files to achieve this then open the file &#8220;wp-includes/comment-template.php&#8221;<br />
Now<br />
(For WordPress  2.3 or older: line 48)<br />
(For WordPress 2.5: line 114).<br />
(For WordPress 2.6: line 116)</p>
<p>REPLACE :</p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><code><strong> $return = "&lt;a href='$url' rel='external nofollow'&gt;$author&lt;/a&gt;"; </strong></code></p></blockquote>
<p>with this:</p>
<blockquote><p><code><strong> $return = "&lt;a href='$url' rel='external'&gt;$author&lt;/a&gt;"; </strong></code></p></blockquote>
<p>Please observe this image carefully.<br />
<img src="http://chetangole.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/no-follow-removed.jpg" alt="" title="no-follow-removed" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-246" /></p>
<p><strong>NOTE :</strong> Remember to take regular backups of your all files from server before doing any changes to files, i am not responsible for any side effect. <img src='http://chetangole.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Now Done, You have hacked your wordpress to have DO Follow comment links !!<br />
I recommend all blogger to use this tweak to give proper rewards to the people who comment on our blog !</p>
<p><span style="color: red;">*</span> UPDATED : Currently my blog comments are NO FOLLOW, i actually suffer a lot from the comment spamming on my blog, so i decided to remove the DO FOLLOW from comment and makes to back to No Follow, your can get more information about comment spamming from <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/01/preventing-comment-spam.html" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog_spam" target="_blank">here</a>. actually i read those two posts and decided this . sorry guys.<br />
You can read one of the main reason why i came to this conclusion here, <a href="http://chetangole.com/blog/2008/07/where-to-use-no-follow-and-where-to-use-do-follow/">Where nofollow and where dofollow</a></p>
