DoFollow+CommentLuv blogs are getting a lot of comments and spam too yet I think they are worthy to be followed. It’s not about the “link” but also about the “content” which matters for me.

Michael,

It has been a long time. The nofollow thing is now dofollow and Google doesn’t penalize you for this or will it reduce PR.

I rarely put a no-follow links on my posts but I did have a do follow top commentator plug-in once. Had lots of spam and problems competing to be the top, so I took it out

@Frank: The first sentence is a bit ‘unclear’. I keep all my blogs as dofollow but don’t allow keywords in anchor text. I also liked Lucia’s plug-in so that only regular contributor get link-love

I think mine is dofollow as well. I never got why people who force nofollow. I’ll have to look into how I’d go about setting links to my social networks to nofollow on a joomla site…

I’m dofollow, and have been adding nofollow to social bookmark links and the links to Flickr for my photos, but that is about it. It will be interesting to see how commenting changes if nofollow becomes null, as the dofollow blogs currently get so many more comments because of that.

I think mine is do follow
Anyway the point is that people who aren’t do follow are often full of themselves as I have seen it.
Page sculpting is for losers.
And as suggested the ONLY links on my whole site that aren’t followed are the social buttons those sites have enough juice
Nice post Frank
will stumble when I get back from the spa going for my facial and pedicure LOL
