Yes yes it’s true. Comment urls on this site have been stripped of the rel=”nofollow” tag that plagues so many blogs out there. Leave a meaningful comment, get a linkback. I don’t see why you shouldn’t.

In my experience the dofollow movement doesn’t do much for your blog. the only thing I got was comments like “nice blog” or “nice post” or other meaningless comments. I moderate all fist time comments so this meant I was getting a few of those annoying comments every days so I just stopped it.
I don’t think you should follow all, maybe you should reward some commentators but there’s no easy way to do this now. There is a way to follow all but a few using the nofollow case by case plugin but that still makes the whole process annoying
I also moderate all first-time comments and that’s the reason I got rid of the dofollow. I’m not a nice man: I have no problem denying a few “nice post!!!” every day if it means people who do make a meaningful comment and help add to the discussion get rewarded for it.
We’ll see how it goes.
I have also followed this movement.
Although I do agree there are flaws with this movement, I think it is totally a worthwhile risky investment as this can be part of my rewards to my blog commentators.
Have you seen problems from search engines since you started this?
Nope. Happy to report that I've seen no problems at all.
It's interesting to join the DoFollow movement. It definitely something that will drive some traffic to your site, but is it the kind of traffic that you want?
I'm not sure it will be the kind that will convert.
i will be changing my settings to dofollow being in the do follow crew is so much better than being in the no follow they are so u friendly lol.
I have also made my site dofollow. The only problem im having is that I receive a lot more junk comments. Do any of you know of a good filter?
