We’ll start off by wishing everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It’s hard to believe but yes, it’s 2010 and I wonder how many of you have made New Years resolutions. I used to make new resolutions every year but that’s when I was much younger. Now I figure I’ve reached a point in my life where I’m entitled to have a few vices so no more resolutions for me. Besides let’s face it, most of us have blown it by the end of January.

There’s this misconception amongst bloggers that every time they leave a comment on your blog that they are getting a free one way backlink.

Surprise! Not if you’re using Wordpress.

By default Wordpress puts the NoFollow attribute in your blog comments so when the web spiders come along they ignore the link, as far as Page Rank goes anyway. Thus you don’t pass along any link love to your visitors by giving out a free one way backlink.

If you want to give some link juice to your commenters you have to remove the nofollow attribute that Wordpress takes upon themselves to place in the source code.

You know what, I just want to go on a little rant today.

Maybe I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning or maybe it had something to do with the fact that it’s only 35 F outside and Old Man Winter is knocking on our door.

I was just on Twitter going through my Direct Messages
trying to answer some of them and I found one of interest
and it led me to their blog.

Upon arriving at their blog I gave it the quick eyeball
glance and it looked very nice. You know the ones I mean,
easy on the eyes.
