Great post – I will be doing the same on my blog.

I do have a question, however – is there any downfall to having the ‘Do Follow’ on. Does Google actually ‘leave your site’ when it hits the link, or does it just ‘bookmark’ the link for traversal when it is finished with your site?

I will look for the new post on this topic you indicated you were writing.

Thanks!
Paul.

This whole do follow and no follow business really is a pickle that google and spammers have got us into. There has to be a better way of doing this than all these plugins for one version or another.

Are you not worried though that the dofollow links people leave will be to bad neighbourhood sites and that will then affect your rankings in google? I’ve heard that if you link out to too many bad sites you get penalised! And all for letting people blog on your site.

I think Google should come out and be a little bit more clear on these issues. Matt Cutts seems to dance around, a hint here, a hint there but never a definitive do this do that. I think if more people knew the rules and knew it was a level playing field they would adhere. As it is I know competitors who spam away and never seem to lose their rankings so it makes it tempting to go down the dark road. I resist in the hope you play the long game and you get rewarded.

Cheers

The benefit is to ensure you’re only giving juice to those that deserve it; regular or even semi-regular commenters, not just fly-by spammers and one-offs only looking for a quick back link

In a few minutes I will publish a new post about a new WordPress plugin that gives you the option to control Dofollow/Nofollow links in WordPress blogroll, I see that this is another approve that Dofollow still matter!

Dofollow and Nofollow both are backlinks but nofollow won’t pass the link juice to the link!

It occurs to me that Lucia’s probably uses the name field to count comments so anyone who uses different keywords will have multiple goals to achieve to ever get anything to go dofollow. The same issue is going to affect Top Commentator plugins.

Dennis Edell has also switched to NoFollow Free. That seems to be the most used plugin for that purpose.

Since WordPress has an option to only allow comments to appear immediately after one has been approved, I wish someone who believes there is merit to making commentators hit some number before their comments go dofollow would explain to me what they see as the benefit.

I hope anyone reading this post who has dofollow blogs that use the CommentLuv KeywordLuv plugins will visit the post I’ll feature in CommentLuv in this comment and leave the links in the comments so I can add them to the list in that post.

Spam is always an issue but it is a small price to pay for supporting other bloggers and businesses and bringing more interaction to our blogs.
