## FAQ

  Why was this plugin written?

Nofollow Links in Posts plugin was originally written to help “paid bloggers” add
nofollow to links in sponsored post after a set amount of days. With so many “Paid
to Blog” companies such as PayPerPost, ReviewMe and SponsoredReviews, there are 
a lot bloggers doing sponsored posts.

  I am doing sponsored posts with PayPerPost.com. Is it ok to use this plugin?

Yes! It is ok to add nofollow to links after 30 days. But if the advertisers finds
out that you’ve added nofollow to their links, _they have the right to place a BAN
on you_. So, use it at your own risk!

  What about other Paid To Blog companies?

That depends on Terms of Service. You should always _read their Terms of Service/
Rules & Regulations_ to see whether they have any specific rules about nofollow.

  What is “nofollow”?

**nofollow** is an HTML attribute value used to instruct some search engines that
a hyperlink should not influence the link target’s ranking in the search engine’s
index. It is intended to reduce the effectiveness of certain types of search engine
spam, thereby improving the quality of search engine results.

  Does this plugin work by adding the rel=”nofollow” in the database or it works
when loading the post?

This plugin works on the fly (dynamically) and does not alter the wp_posts database
table structure

  Will this plugin add nofollow to a link in existing (old) posts?

Yes!
