Hello Khai. That’s exactly why I added the update to the top of the post a year back. My experience was similar to yours.

I don’t know, I once use Dofollow and return back to nofollow due to excessive spam comments made by my visitors.

David,

Interesting, thanks for the insight. Not sure I agree, but then again, I’m not really in a position to worry about moderating an enormous amount of comments.

James, Here's a post that details some of my own reasons for removing dofollow from my comment section: when a blogger's generosity is exploited. It's from Wendy Piersall, a blog author I have a lot of respect for.

David, I see you no longer use this method and instead include the default nofollow tag. I don’t have a firm grasp on all the ins-and-outs of the issue, but why after writing this article did you change your mind? Was it because of the ban Google placed on you previously. I wouldn’t think that omitting nofollow tags on comments would cause a ban (but I could be wrong). Cheers.

Great post! Very helpful.
Good to see that the era of linklove is still alive….
Was going to use blogger but methinks it is going to have to be WordPress.
(Will be interested to see Google’s next move in this area)

If someone is good enough to leave a relevant comment on my blog, they deserve a link back. The whole point of the dofollow movement is to allow relevant comments and weed out spammers.
