How Do I Make The Links In A Post DoFollow?

    I was asked to write a sponsored post for someone and they have asked that the links in the post be dofollow. I always assumed that all links on my blog were dofollow as I use dofollow plugins.

    They sent me an email about an hour after I completed the post rejecting it because the links were nofollow.

    When I looked at the dofollow plugins it says they make the comments section of blogs dofollow. Does this mean that they do not make the links in the actual post dofollow?

    How do I make the links in my posts dofollow as well? The client is paying me over $30 for writing this sponsored post so it is a pretty big deal. :)

    You should be able to do this while creating your post by going to the HTML tab and simply adding rel="dofollow" within your Anchor Tag.

    This is new to me. I too would like to know.
    Can you please show me how would this type of HTML tag look like?
    Thanks a lot.

    Sure! Well, links usually look like this <a href="http://www.google.com/">This is text that links to Google</a>

    Now this is a link that has a dofollow <a rel="dofollow" href="http://www.google.com/">This is text that links to Google</a>
