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. :-) @ Chantix

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.

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 :cool: 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 Hi Wayne:

If your blog is getting higher and higher in search engine rankings, you will find new spams that got through Akismet.

I enabled dofollow some time ago, though on the proviso of using the Lucia's Linky Love plug in - at http://money.bigbucksblogger.com/category/my-plugins/luciaslinkylove/ - in order that my commenters had to post 5 or so comments before they became follow links. The blog is too new for me to know if it's working out yet. Though I get a ton of spam comments - Akismet has so far caught them all and only genuine comments get queued for moderation (first time poster only). Anyhow, thanks for the info - I'll keep an eye on the dofollow no-follow arguments in the future.
