As a final follow up to this amazing IFollow phenomenon, I was tagged by Chris Stark of Fuzzy Future to pass on the D-list that’s been circulating from site to site (please read his article for more info). Although I don’t usually participate in these kind of online chains–I, as you know, feel that this idea of removing the no follow tags from Wordpress in order to give something back to your readers that comment is well worth it. So here it is.
If you choose to, follow the instructions below and pass the list on. And make sure you tell any of those that you have added to the My Adds section that they have been added so they may pass on the list as well if they choose to.
Some of the best things in life are favors passed on so… pass it on. 
Here are the rules of the D-List:
***Begin to copy here***
1. Write a short paragraph at the beginning of your post and link back to the blog that put you on the list in the paragraph. This isn’t a suggestion. You need to break up the duplicate content. Someone took the time to add you so the least you can do is give them an extra link back.
2. Copy the list of originals below COMPLETELY and add it to your blog. If you would like a different keyword for your blog then change it when you do your post and it should pass to most blogs with that keyword.
3. Take the adds from the blog that added you and place them in the “Originals†list.
4. Add at least 1 new blog that you KNOW us using the DO FOLLOW plugin to the list in the “My Adds†section. (Add no more than 5!) Let the people you’ve added know, so that they can keep the list going!
5. Leave relevant comments on the blogs listed and get a link back to your site thanks to Do Follow!

For some reason this plugin is getting an error for me. I wrote to the creator including a screenshot. Hopefully I will get a reply. But for now the plugin is not working
Thanks for your help with this Kirk, as always appreciated.

It’s amazing isn’t it? I’m on the Do-Follow train also, and the amount of comments that came in blew me away!

@ Elaine: Always willing to throw my two bits in for whatever it may be worth. Really strange that it didn’t work for you considering we’re using the same host, runnning the same WP version and are even using the same theme (almost). Glad the other one is working for you.
@David: Good deal and thanks for the welcome.
@Deb: I was a bit surprised myself and comments are always a good thing. It even surprised me more how many of the commenter’s are members of MyBlogLog which is a new endeavor for me. That community thing and all that. Thanks for stopping by all.

Hey! I have just installed the plugin in my blog (although I am quite novice blogger :D)
Another one on the list no?
Nice blog

It’s great us bloggers started doing this. I wonder if search engines will catch up fast and will try to ignore these links…

Hey Sleeper,
I think it would be rather hard to filter out these type of links since they are actually no different than any other type of link like ones from Technorati or a link to a blog post from a trackback or a link to your blog in someone’s sidebar. I think it balances out though. I know Google places a good percentage of value on the “quality” of incoming links to your site ie: PR2 vs PR5. but all of us “do-follow” types will be trading all sorts of links ranking from 0-7 or 8 for example, so everything should average out pretty equal in the end I think.
What do you think…does that make sense?
