Wikipedia NoFollow Plugin

By Andy Beard | Published: January 23, 2007

I mentioned I was willing to create such a plugin, I was even cobbling the code together.

Then I noticed a mention over on Matt’s blog (just search for Matt) in the comments that somone had written one.

Wikipedia Nofollow Plugin

And here is a link to Wikipedia to test it

Edit: after posting I grabbed a screenshot

Oh and I submitted it to Digg

Lol, ok so the “Digg This Plugin” is seriously screwed. I link through to a Digg I made for the original blog post, and the original author – in the comments I posted a link to here as an example of it working. Digg this now thinks I have votes for this post, and the button actually seems to link through to the digg on someone elses blog. Weird…
Someone has created a more secure “Digg This” plugin called “Digg That”, which apparently cures the problem, I will give it a try.

    I have just signed up for RAP Bank myself - call this a mini-review.
    It seems to be one of the smartest ideas for a long time as a great way to consolidate 100s of affiliate programs under a single entity for promotion.

    It is also one of the best implementations of WordPress I have ever seen.
    It is not without its bugs, as this is effectively pre-launch. For example I just found a bug in the keyword based search RSS feeds (yes RSS feeds for any term will be hot), but it looks like they might be onto a winner.
    Check it out - signup for the basic service is free.

    >Affiliate Program

    P.S. It is not immediately obvious who is running the site, but looking at my Paypal receipt (yes I signed up for Vendor Plus) I believe the site is run by Bill Ortell From Rap-Extras.com who is RAP certified and does the membership add-on that is highly popular.
