Ok i have a wordpress blog www.wordofmouthband.net And i want to the links on the blogroll on the right to be Do-Follow However they are no-follow according to a firefox plugin called: Searchstatus which colours no follows red. I have tried everything and i can't seem to get the links as DO-FOLLOW Please help!
It's because you have this: <meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' /> Code (markup): in your blog's header text. Likely your blog's privacy settings are excluding search engine robots, or you're using the 'meta robots' plugin (or something similar) and accidentally nofollowed / noindexed your blog. To change Wordpress' privacy settings: Login to the WP Admin / Dashboard area On the left, click on 'Settings' Choose 'Privacy' Select 'I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Sphere, Technorati) and archivers' Click 'Save Changes' Otherwise, it could be hard-coded in your template's theme (not likely). You just have to edit the header.php and remove the meta robots tag that says 'noindex,nofollow'.
The links are not 'nofollowed', but the meta robots is declaring all the links on the page to be 'nofollow', so they <a href> tags don't need the declaration. It's not just the home page, either -- all the links on the entire site are nofollow, and all the pages are noindex.
