Google Encourages NoFollow

Preventing Comment Spam

If you’re a blogger (or a blog reader), you’re painfully familiar with people who try to raise their own websites’ search engine rankings by submitting linked blog comments like “Visit my discount pharmaceuticals site.” This is called comment spam, which Google don’t like, and they have been testing a new tag that blocks it.

NoFollow Attribute

From now on, when Google sees the attribute (rel=”nofollow”) on hyperlinks, those links won’t get any credit when we rank websites in our search results. This isn’t a negative vote for the site where the comment was posted; it’s just a way to make sure that spammers get no benefit from abusing public areas like blog comments, trackbacks, and referrer lists.

Google hopes that the web software community will quickly adopt this attribute and they’re pleased that a number of blog software makers have already done it.

NoFollow Example Link

Modified link should look like following:
Visit my <a href=”http://www.example.com/” rel=”nofollow”>discount pharmaceuticals</a> site.

Let Your Imagination Multiply - Multiple Blogs In One Installation

WordPress MU

Ever dream of running hundreds of thousands of blogs with a single install of WordPress? I wondered when I noticed this one and I thought O!My God I could use this amazing software instead of having many installations at my server for every different blog.

If you intend to run more then one blog at your server then WordPress MU is the best choice.

WordPress MU, or multi-user, is designed to do exactly that. It is most famously used for WordPress.com where it serves tens of millions of hits on hundreds of thousands of blogs each day.

Basically WordPress MU is a wrapper around the core WP code that virtualizes multiple blogs. The code that differs is in some bootstrap files, and administration for multiple blogs and users.

You can have unlimited blogs, with unlimited authors on them, and even users who don’t have any blogs at all. Users can have different roles (editor, admin, author) on different blogs. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.

Plugins work just like in regular WordPress, they can be activated and deactivated on a per-blog level. They have something extra called “mu-plugins” which auto-executes any PHP file in that directory, like plugins that are enabled by default. Most plugins work, but some that modify core tables or create tables of their own in the DB might have difficulties, depending on how they’re coded.

New AntiSpam WP-Plugin

TypePad AntiSpam
Fight Against Comment Spam.

For bloggers the best, smartest, free antispam new service is available now, yet in beta phase. TypePad AntiSpam beta is free for any type of use, personal and commercial, regardless of how many comments you receive. Whenever you report unwanted comments, the TypePad AntiSpam engine learns from you, so that it can make even smarter and more effective decisions about spam in the future. TypePad AntiSpam beta ensures that you see the legitimate comments you want and not the invasive comments you don’t. Its Open Source and 100% Akismet API compatible too.

Without any spam filter or some spam guard on you can not concentrate on your peaceful blogging. You recieve hundreds of comments which is irritable and time consuming to check and delete. I myself used a couple of spam filters but I was not convinced with the performance of any which I wanted. So I devised my own methods (I will talk about those in coming posts) and still I am not using any Antispam plugin and I am safe yet due to a little care and a trick of my own.

Anyways I noticed that problogger and many other big bloggers are experimenting with TypePad AntiSpam Plugin. So here it is.
