Here is my Blog

There is valuable information but I do not post enough on it to make it something someone should follow daily or even weekly.

Hey Greg, your blog is nice. but, your blog is nofollow blog I think. one of the risk of comments after log in.

What does that mean exactly and what does it hurt in your opinion?

Oh I get it. Greg "do-follow" and "no-follow" are SEO jargons. By default all blogs are "no-follow" meaning search engines crawl them but are not counted as backlinks for Google. Blog Commenting is a great way for getting backlinks for us SEO practitioners it is one way of ranking well in search engines, with blog commenting, commenters get to include the URL of their site therefore generating one backlink. By changing your blog to "do-follow" simply by removing the "no-follow" attribute, it would attract a lot of commenters specially SEO practitioners but the risk includes getting spam comments. Hope I made that clear.

What setting is that in the wordpress dashboard?

No, it is in the HTML of your blog.
Just find that attribute and simply remove it.

Ok I will try that suggestion out.

I recently changed the theme on the blog. I really like this new one. I added more plug ins and widgets.

I personally feel that a blog certainly seems to get more weight in search engines. I had been working on my main HTML site since 2006 and did not do one bit of SEO on the blog until 2008 and it already seems to have more traffic through search engines than my HTML site.

I really do not make it a high priority because I network and get out of the office for business and have built relationships over the last 10 years.

Is this it? Do I just remove "no"?

Code:

<li><divid="recent-comments" class="widget widget_recent_comments">            <h2>Recent Comments</h2>            <ulid="recentcomments"><liclass="recentcomments"><ahref='http://www.businesswithgreg.com' rel='external nofollow' class='url'>Greg</a> on <ahref="http://www.blog.businesswithgreg.com/2008/05/29/pmi-companies-tightening-up-conventional-loans/comment-page-1/#comment-31">PMI Companies - Tightening Up Conventional Loans</a></li><liclass="recentcomments"><ahref='http://www.businesswithgreg.com' rel='external nofollow' class='url'>Greg</a> on <ahref="http://www.blog.businesswithgreg.com/2009/03/19/rates-may-fall-to-an-all-time-low-today/comment-page-1/#comment-30">Rates May Fall To An All Time Low Today</a></li><liclass="recentcomments"><ahref='http://www.businesswithgreg.com' rel='external nofollow' class='url'>Greg</a> on <ahref="http://www.blog.businesswithgreg.com/2008/09/19/ohfa-ohio-housing-finance-agency/comment-page-1/#comment-29">OHFA - Ohio Housing Finance Agency</a></li><liclass="recentcomments"><ahref='http://www.designsbymrk.com' rel='external nofollow' class='url'>Marilyn</a> on <ahref="http://www.blog.businesswithgreg.com/2009/02/26/how-to-repair-your-own-credit-report-for-free/comment-page-1/#comment-27">How To Repair And Build Your Own Credit Report For Free</a></li><liclass="recentcomments"><ahref='http://www.businesswithgreg.com' rel='external nofollow' class='url'>Greg</a> on <ahref="http://www.blog.businesswithgreg.com/2009/02/05/investment-loan-crisis/comment-page-1/#comment-26">Investment Loan Crisis</a></li></ul>

"rel='external nofollow'"

It shows on each individual post though. How do I get it to automatically follow when I make a new post? I do not see it in the wp-config.php file.

Nevermind. I found a plugin to do it. But, if it does not change the existing posts is the the edit I have to make to make the existing post do follow?
