		<description>Tidy, Sorry I didn&#039;t see respond earlier.  How you can make your links dofollow - there are plugins or you can change the html directly - the Plugin is easier.  Here is the one I use: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.semiologic.com/software/dofollow/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.semiologic.com/software/dofollow/&lt;/a&gt; 
 
How to make a link nofollow - if you have the entire site as dofollow - you&#039;ll want to do this on outgoing advertiser links, on giveaway sponsors, etc.  Add the tag: rel=&quot;external nofollow&quot; to the link&#039;s html. 
 
This is what your link should look like: 
&lt;a href=&quot;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Linked Text&lt;/a&gt; 
 
Hope that helps!  In regards to how to get your page rank back up again, I may have some tips if you want to email me (admin@quirkymomma.com)... or I sense another post for Barb to feature!

		<description>WOW GREAT info...but I&#039;m still a little confused.......how do you get your links to be doFollow?  
&quot;If you do have a DoFollow blog, there are a few things you don&#8217;t want to link out to (ex: giveaways, paid advertisers, etc.), but that list is for another day and another post!&quot; I&#039;d love to hear this explanation. 
 
also, on Jan 1st I bought my own Domain, and changed my blogger address to my domain, and my Google rank dropped from 3 to 0 :-(   most bloggers that have links to me, all have my old .blogspot address/link....how do I fix that? 
My recent post &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tidymom.net/2010/02/my-new-epson-workforce-610-printer.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;My new Epson Workforce 610 printer!!&lt;/a&gt; </description>

		<description>@Heather, I checked your comments, they are classed as &quot;No Follow&quot;.  This means people who leave comments with their URLs do not get link juice, google will not go visit them from your site.  Tracebacks are a different matter altogether.  A traceback is where someone links to your article.  Is it one of the highest compliments a blogger can get!  Cheers for having some!  Have you tried going back into your comments edit section and removing it if you don&#039;t want your readers to know about it?
