<p>This plugin will set all Trackbacks and Pingbacks automatically to DoFollow Links.</p>
<p>The user comments will get after <code>X</code> comments from a unique mailaddress automatically DoFollow status. All other comments have NoFollow, except the Admin enable manually the DoFollow Status. The status which is set manual (if DoFollow or NoFollow) will overrides the automatical process. So, you have the control if someone gets sooner the DoFollow status, or never maybe. Of corse, the automatism can be disabled to do the hole work manually.</p>
<p>You get an support automatism, that you don’t need to check daily, but have the full control power.</p>
<p>Additonal this plugin validated all DoFollow URLs and will notice if there are broken links. Broken Links are very bad the Rank in the Search Engines (SEO).</p>

SMu Manual DoFollow

SMu DoFollow has many DoFollow Options (Manual or Automatism) and included URL Validator (Manual, WP-Cron or Cronjob).

<p>For unmodified links Nofollow Case by Case works like a (do)follow plugin for WordPress. It simply removes rel=”nofollow” from your comment links.</p>
<p>Whenever you get the feeling that one of your comment links might be able to harm your own website reputation, if you think about SEO and found a link that looks a bit like spam but should not be deleted, you can replace nofollow to every single comment link at any time. If you want to replace nofollow for a link like that you simply add /dontfollow at the end of the link. You can do this for author links in comments as well as for the links you find in the text.</p>
<h4>This is what the plugin will do automatically:</h4>
<p><strong>1. Clean up some code:</strong><br />
It tries to remove all variants of rel=”nofollow”, target=”blank” and rel=”external” from comment author links and other links in comments first. A link will become a “real link” no matter if it is a pingback, a trackback or a “real comment”.</p>
<p><strong>2. Fix semantical incorrectness:</strong><br />
The plugin now applies rel=”external” – but ONLY for external links!</p>
<p><strong>3. jQuery functions of Nofollow Case by Case:</strong></p>
<p>a) The plugin detects rel=”external” in comments and opens those links in a new window.<br />
No need for target=”_blank” which would not validate in XMTML. jQuery replacement does.</p>
<p>b) The plugin tries to correct author urls that could not be fully replaced before.<br />
This has something to do with template development. Find more information on this within the FAQ.</p>
<h4>Add on</h4>
<p>You can try this <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nfcbc-seo-plugin-add-on/" title="NFCBC SEO Plugin Add-on" rel="ugc">NFCBC SEO Plugin ADD-on</a> for easier comment management. The plugin is an old one using javascript but still works. I currently do not have the time to rebuild it. A new version should later support Ajax and nonces and on the other hand will not support old versions of WordPress anymore.</p>
<h4>Alternative Tool</h4>
<p><a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nfcbc-seo-light/" title="NFCBC SEO Light" rel="ugc">NFCBC SEO Light</a> could be used alternatively. It suggests “follow” or “nofollow” or “no link” automatically, depending on comments length. This plugin might be updated soon. I personally prefer Nofollow Case by Case.</p>
