I am about to launch my blog and have been debating whether or not to remove the no-follow attribute. I find myself commenting on do-follow sites most of the time. After reading your post and some of the comments, I have deciding to make my blog do-follow. If it doesn’t affect the amount of spam, I might as well let others benefit from do-follow.

It’s ironic that many bloggers talk about going dofollow but then they actually use nofollow. Thanks for this project coz I too feel that bloggers should be rewarded for their thoughtful comments.

Good point – I think I’ll be removing the “no follow” attribute too. Bonus – more people will comment.

[...] (or your pro) is in there making the change, consider taking out the “nofollow” too. CommunitySpark has an article about making your blog love link [...]

Certainly well worth considering, as long as the moderation doesn’t add to much time to the upkeep. I have one or two blogs that I’ve closed to comments because it was too much hassle keeping on top of the spammers

I don’t get so much spam on my own blogs so it’s probably worth removing this to encourage people to comment, thanks!

I’ve never had a problem with moderating comments so I’ll be getting this on my blog. The individual comment override could be a useful idea.

John – Maybe 1 minute per day; so less than 10 minutes per week. Akismet stops most of the junk automatically.

I know this post is quite a bit old, but Martin, how much time per week do you spend moderating comments due to nofollowing? Seems like that could become a serious time-suck

Max – Great stuff; glad I could help
