No follow attribute is becoming a very important element for SEO. It have gained importance not only to external links but more so with respect to internal links also. Internal Linking as you know it is the structure of linking to different pages and posts of your site. It basically defines your site’s navigational system and data organization.
Tag Cloud forms a very important part of Blog Navigation and Internal Linking system. Imagine this, displaying Tag Cloud on a blog page places about 40 something links to other internal tag pages. Now imagine the aspect of link juice dilution when these are marked as “do-follow” vs. “no-follow” links. Too much link juice gets leaked by this way. WordPress by default does not have “no-follow” attribute added to the Tag Cloud.

Sounds like a handy little plugin. Just installed it on my blog. Thanks a lot!
was just looking for something like this on WP site. I will try it out. Thank you!
…says for 2.3, will it work on 2.7.1??
Sweet! Thanks this works great!!!
Very nice info such guys i am looking these types of infoin Seo for a long time and now i would update it to my blog
This seems to also create a 2nd rel tag: rel=”tag” which cause the page to no validate anymore since it also is inserting the desired rel=”nofollow” and you can only have one per link.
Problem is, I don’t see the code doing it, so I’m stumped…
I’m getting 2 rel tags from this plugin, which prevents it from validating now.
rel=”nofollow’
rel=”tag”
I also get this error message on the result page from the tags box after clicking one of the tags from the tag cloud:
Warning: call_user_func_array(): First argumented is expected to be a valid callback, ‘hsm_stylesheet::filter_follow’ was given in /home/content/b/i/l/billyg123/html/blog/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 166
@BillyG: I did not receive any error messages with this one. It installed perfectly on a WordPress 2.7.1 version. Catch me at thinkjayant@gmail.com to discuss it further.
