Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Checks commentator’s website PageRank and removes nofollow attribute if its PageRank is higher than or equal to your website’s PageRank.

Purpose of this plugin is to overcome the bias caused by NoFollow. g. Akismet) and to prevent useless internal pages (Usage Terms and such) from harming your blog’s PageRank.

The point is, many blogs apply NoFollow to ALL the web links of comment authors. This is not what NoFollow should be used for. But I do not expect bloggers to completely remove NoFollow as it may harm their PageRank.

In order to break this vicious catch-22, this plugin removes NoFollow when the blog does not outrank the linked website.

Wikipedia (it’s not a blog though) uses NoFollow in a totally perverted way: ALL links to sites carrying important further information get NoFollowed.

PS: PageRank values may fluctuate violently and suddenly. We all are at the mercy of Google in this regard. And there are other factors that are more important than PageRank.

But it is not insignificant either.
