Captain Squid is now Do-Follow for Squidoo Link Lovin
Arr... This Be The Captain! Thanks for Stopping by to check out my piratey bag of Squidoo Tricks! If you are new here, you might want to get free updates and squidoo tricks delivered straight to you via RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I switched The Captain over to Do-Follow late last week and I thought I’d announce it officially today.
What’s ‘Do Follow’?
That means that the URL you leave with your name when you leave a comment will get a little bit of link juice when google comes by and follows that link. Most blogs build on WordPress (like this one) automatically have google stay away from comment links. Being the (mostly) nice pirate that I am, I have decided to lift this restriction.
A few guidlines to consider when commenting:
These have always been in effect, I’m just voicing them.
- I do see the comments before they appear, so if you wouldn’t let someone post that comment on your site, should I? I’m referring to poor grammar and Spammy link-heavy comments, not those that contradict me. In fact, I like posting dissenting opinions, it helps spark good conversation.
- �As long as it’s not ‘porn or pills’ you can link to whatever you want in the ‘URL’ field of the comment. However, I do ask that links in the body of the comment at least be remotely relevant to what we are talking about.
- No Ninja’s allowed.
So do-follow your little hearts out mateys, it’s Monday!
-The Captain

I have a plug in on my blog that allows this too. I never realized that they actually had the feature till I read about it somewhere!
Now that is very sweet of you Joe! Thank you.
(But no ninjas allowed?! Sob. Takes off ninja costume and puts pirate one back on. Arrrr!)
Thanks for making this do-follow. I think that all blogs should do this. It encourages dialogue and rewards people for their user generated content.
I love your blog.
