Previously i really interest to make my site as “do follow” thing, just to attract people to visit my site. And after read many article that explain google really hate a do follower, now I didn’t dare to run into it. But off course in other hand I still make comment on do follow blog just to get my backlink increase that still “zero”…^_^… Anyway thanks for the sharing.

@ Chantix
I have had them disabled.

@ ChampDog
Actually, most real readers don’t comment for the sake of that one link. If I am a reader, I would rather put in some effort to climb the Top Commentators rankings as that would contribute hundreds of links to my blog.

Thanks for the tips. I think I’m going to enable back the “nofollow”.

I do agree that commentators help a lot in content production and adding values to a post.

Anyway, I will continue to find ways to reward my top commentators rather than giving them links in this way.

Maybe in the future, I will again be taking off the nofollow tag once again.

Hi Wayne:

I understand your concerns, and can’t say that I can really argue with you on them, heh. For myself, I will continue to use the do-follow plugin, but it does bear noting that I manually approve all comments. Spam comments don’t get through. There are days where this can be time consuming, but to me it’s about the conversation. The link love is my cyber equivalent of buying you a coffee

I may change my tune at a later date, but commentors add content to my blog, and often point out things that I didn’t think of. That’s the beauty of the net.

Cheers, Marc
