After lots of back and forth, I have decided to make comment links dofollow (removing nofollow); meaning that links users have in their comments will be followed by search engines. This adds value to the recipient’s site.
Please note:
- If dofollow becomes a hassle, I will take it off
- It’s easy for me to add nofollow to any comments, so please keep the conversation relevant. Manual link building sucks. But try hard to add value!
- This blog uses Lucia’s Linky Love and always has, so post 3 or more times!
Enjoy, don’t abuse.

nice one, share the love
people would probably comment more, it’s a kind of reward
That’s great. Since you moderate the comments, there should be no worry there. Besides, not everyone posts a URL anyway.
Since the link beneath the post that leads to the actual comments page IS no-follow, I think it still doesnt add value for SEO to comment on your blog. The comments pages get no link juice at all, so there’s not anything to spread really.
No, that’s not the case. Google will be indexing each post, and the links in comments are now dofollow. It doesn’t matter that the “4 comments” link is nofollow.
Thanks buddy….Thanks for sharing nice information, i.e. now I am totally tension free from that my comment will be move on no-follow or do follow.
Thanks & now you will get more visitor on your blog & more comments on your posts because you have used it.
This is definitely a good move to get lots of visitors and people to stick around here and it is going to be beneficial for both you and us.
You are brave enough to do this. However, it seems that you don’t have any troubles in deleting the spams. I am not so brave, I will have to spend all my time to reconize that suckers, though I have Akismet. It really makes angry to find “personal loan” or something under my hard working post.
