Pictures are loading fine on my site. If you are having a problem with your WordPress.com site, please contact the helpful staff on the WordPress.com Forum. Don’t go around randomly asking for help from any blogger using WordPress. It only delays you getting the help you need.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the link and it doesn’t change anything about what I said. It’s still air. It is something people have made something out of that carries little or no weight. And the source was Matt Cutts and the many industry conferences I’ve spoken at and participated in since the beginning of the Internet. I’m not a lightweight on this subject.

Thank you, Lorelle, for your lightning speed reply.

Yes, now your point is made very clear.

However, I would not pick up so quickly the idea of no-follow being just air. The no-follow attribute still has its role to play.

You may want to read the webmaster guidelines given by Google (the information there is as fresh as from July 23, 2011)

In any case, if somebody writes a comment that I approve, she won’t have even a shade of doubt that the link she gets is of full value. Even though at times I check selectively where those links lead

By the way, what source(s) do you base your opinion on?

@James: Let’s see if I can have this make more sense. You just did a good thing, like you mowed the neighbor’s lawn. To reward you, the neighbor holds his hands over his head and grabs the air – of course he’s not really grabbing anything, it’s just air, the same air you have all around you. But by grabbing it and making a big deal out of it, then handing it over to you like it was a precious thing, you gratefully accept the air and bow your gracious acceptance of the air. You turn around, ceremony complete and think “WTF?”

There is no nofollow/dofollow. There never really was. It’s just air. We all got it and it is all treated the same. Rewarding someone with nofollow/dofollow is like giving them air. It’s nothing. It’s nothing because Google was the only one to try it and it never worked. They tried all kinds of things but it just didn’t work and other search engines looked at the air and said, “It’s just air!”

Today, you can dofollow/nofollow until your heart’s content but it will change nothing but make a ceremony out of exchanging nothing. Trust rank and other things go into the algorithms today.

As for this article being out of date, I’ll take a look at it but it’s held up well since 2005 with major changes in WordPress. People tend to “get it” and it was mostly replaced by How NOT to Comment on Comments. Thanks and I hope I didn’t take the analogy too far.

Lorelle,

Although I was reading this back and forth many times, I was not able to figure out what you are in fact saying:

“I’m sorry that you have been led astray about nofollow/dofollow. It doesn’t work. Didn’t and continues to not work, so it’s a total time waster and not much to brag about as the most knowledgeable folks know the truth”

What is wrong with rewarding good commentators with a do-follow link? And where’s the waste of time? Just installed the do-follow plugin, and it took me not more than half a minute…

Thank you for the valuable tips about the comment policy. It seems, however, that it needs to be re-done with every new WordPress build?
