Add the noindex robots meta tag to archives, categories, search pages, tags, author pages, login, admin pages or any other page you choose.
Add the rel=”nofollow” attribute to individual pages listed by the wp_list_pages function or the Pages widget. Also, add the rel=”nofollow” attribute to archive links, category links, registration and login links
Nofollow Reciprocity : Most big sites by default use ‘nofollow’ tags therefore not trusting external links nor users that post those links there. This means that they don’t give any credit (in the form of PageRank) to those links and are essentially considering them spam.
This plugin detects links to above mentioned sites, and puts ‘nofollow’ tags on them.

JR_NoFollow : This plugin allows you to enable/disable the nofollow tag on your comments.
You have the option to disable nofollow on the website url field links, as well as disabling it for links in the comment body field.
This will allow you to reward your users for commenting on your blog by providing them with a DoFollow link, so it should help you to gain more comments.

Really cool post. I do agree with almost everything you talked about, but not quite all of it. Let’s say I agree to disagree on a few points. Good stuff though.
i still confused about nofollow and noindeks
None of these seem to work on the current WP release..
It’s really good tips to make wordpress blog links nofollow.
Are these are compliant with WP 3.0?
Have these plugins been updated with the latest release of WP? Im looking to install an external nofollow plugin. Any recommendations.
Yes they are,WP No External Links is great one
None of these work with the latest version of WordPress 3.0.1
In fact it seems like the rel=”nofollow” has to be inserted into every link by hand if thats what you need after the portion of your links…. there has to be something out there that works across the board but these aren’t them..
Nofollow Reciprocity shows a link bottom of the site, tried to remove it, but couldn’t. therefore I prefer Ultimate Noindex Nofollow Tool. it works great.
