Why was this plugin written?

Nofollow Links in Posts plugin was originally written to help “paid bloggers” add nofollow to links in sponsored post after a set amount of days. With so many “Paid to Blog” companies such as PayPerPost, ReviewMe and SponsoredReviews, there are a lot bloggers doing sponsored posts.

I am doing sponsored posts with PayPerPost.com. Is it ok to use this plugin?

Yes! It is ok to add nofollow to links after 30 days. But if the advertisers finds out that you’ve added nofollow to their links, they have the right to place a BAN on you. So, use it at your own risk!

What about other Paid To Blog companies?

That depends on Terms of Service. You should always read their Terms of Service/Rules & Regulations to see whether they have any specific rules about nofollow.
