In my zeal to show off the "U comment I follow" badge, I forgot to post the blog that tells you how to actually disable the "nofollow" tag.

All the blogger templates have the nofollow tag built in. The “nofollow” is basically a tag that can be added by a webmaster to certain hyperlinks. This will tell search engines that they shouldn't visit that particular link. Most blogging platforms today include the nofollow tag in all signature links. The "no follows" have noble intentions of stopping spam via comment or otherwise.

Comments are vital for exchanging ideas, getting opinions and generating traffic, since blogging is all about building a community. Turning off comments or nofollow does not really help...especially if you are a newbie and want to get more people to participate and help your blog grow. So we need to disable or remove the nofollow tag from our templates. Here's how:

  • Login in to you blogger account and go to the Dashboard. Click Layout.
  • Once in the layout, select the Template tab and then proceed to the Edit Html tab.
  • Backup your existing template using then "Download Full Template" option.
  • Check "Expand Widget" checkbox, within which lies the comment code.
  • Scroll down or CTRL F for the code - "comments-block":



    Here you can locate the rel='nofollow'...thats our culprit. Just delete the words highlighted in bold and save the template.
You can tell the world (your visitors, fellow bloggers) that you are now officially welcoming comments, by sporting a badge that says "U Comment, I Follow". If you like my badge, just give me a shoutout. I will send you the photoshop file if you want to customize the colorscheme to go with your blog.

You can even let them know your comment policy if you have one..for example:

COMMENT POLICY
Comments on this blog are made DOFOLLOW for the Google Spiders.
Comments are moderated.
Spam will not be tolerated.

    uh mm yes, the thing is not how to do it, but being willing to do it. many that already were dofollow change their minds and went back to nofollow.

    The "No Follow" tag is an optional attribute you can include in the parameters of a link tag. It tells the search engines: Any link with this tag is not necessarily approved by this page and shouldn't be followed nor contribute weight for ranking..this guide are so helpful and hope all blogger follow this..

    I had this same issue with my 2.8.6 install. I thought Blog Visibility setting in Privacy would do it and it actually did.The problem is that the nofollows in existing posts did not get removed. All new posts did not have nofollow, but in all the old posts I had to go into the HTML view for each post and remove the nofollow. A royal pain, but luckily my blog is relatively new.Good to go now, but it was annoying.
