Comment Link Manager 1.0 WP Plugin Released
Weberz is pleased to announce the release of our first WordPress plugin, Comment Link Manager. While trying to find solutions to the problems introduced by PageRank sculpting no longer working and the nofollow tag being worthless, we decided to create the comment link manager plugin. The idea was to design a WordPress plugin that allowed admins to disable comment author links until that user has posted an admin specified number of comments. This can help encourage users to comment more by rewarding them with links from your blog.
The CLM plugin does exactly that. It can also remove the nofollow tag from both author comment links and links left in the body of a comment as well as open those links in a new window. Here is the full list of features available in the system:
- Enables admins to remove nofollow attribute from comment author links
- Allows for optional removal of nofollow attribute from links left in the body of comments
- Provides admins with the ability to open comment author and body links in a new browser window.
- Provides ability for admins to require a specified number of comments before enabling comment author links
- Has built in whitelist and blacklist functions to override general setting of required number of comments
To download a copy of the comment link manager plugin, please visit the comment link manager page on wordpress.org.

Hmm, sorta “screw nofollow” huh? Just pull out your untrusted links? I kind of like that idea Rob, and I’m checking it out now… Thx!
