As repeated request had been made to disqus people to fix this no follow issue. This issue has been inviting spammers of all kind to the websites installed with disqus commenting system.

I finally took the things to my hand and prepared a mod for the popular Wordpress DISQUS Comment System Plugin. I just added a rel=”nofollow” attribute to all the links I could find within the plugin files so that no link juice can escape.

With SEO getting tougher and tougher as more people learn about it, It is not good for your Google Standing aka. page rank to spill all your link juice through comments.

I am forced to launch the mod due to non-responsiveness of the disqus team. It seems like disqus is more interested in getting the link juice from the sites that have installed the plugin and it is not concerned about spam and related issues.

I have submitted the request to include this Modified plugin to wordpress.org here untile it get approved from wordpress you can do following

  1. Open the Plugin files with your favorite editor like notepad or wordpad or what have you…
  2. Find the string  “href”
  3. add  “rel=nofollow”  before that or after that in the <a …. > tag before the > character
  4. repeat untill all links are no follow
  5. Do this with all the files in DISQUS folder

To save you the trouble, I have saved a copy of disqus-nofollow plugin used by me on this blog. click here to download it.

I normally use DO NO FOLLOW  FireFox Extension to check the do follow or no follow nature of links on a page. it is very convenient and quick way to check any web page.
