I need to randomize them a little, but one of the things I do now is cloak all the external links. They have a rel=&#8221;nofollow&#8221; on them and then go to the blog root where they are redirected to the original link.<\/p>\n<p>I have written a WordPress Plugin <a href=\"\/cloak-links-plugin.zip\">Cloak-Links-Plugin<\/a> to hide the links from search engine Robots. I submitted it to WordPress.org today, and I am wondering if it will pass muster. They have some rules about what plugins are good and bad, and I see this one as a gray area. I would not be surprised if it was rejected, though. I wrote it for a personal site and I don&#8217;t make any money off of any of these plugins so I will not argue with anyone about whether or not a plugin is appropriate or not.<\/p>\n<p>Check back in January to see if the pagerank on Gthread.com has gone up.<\/p>\n<p>Not all of the sub pages on Gthread.com have been converted to blogs.
