Among the two popular commenting system Intense Debate was there, with millions of users. Intense Debate comments basically looks good with cool features and plugins. However, there is a little drawback in the commenting system and that is lack of nofollow option. Since spammers take advantage of dofollow comments blog for a link back, why do we need to give a backlink for a spammer? Literally you shouldn’t allow that. So, here is a little tweak to make both the avatar link and the link that comes inside the comment box nofollow.

To disable nofollow links, I am using the script made by Thaya Kareeson using his jQuery code to add nofollow to external links. Download this javascript and upload this on your own server. If you dont have your own server, you can use my link.

<script src='https://sites.google.com/site/bloggermint/nofollow.js' type='text/javascript'/>

For WordPress – Go to footer.php and paste the code before </body> and save it
For Blogger – Go to Edit Html and paste the code before </body> at the end of the template and save it.
