It's a good think that Link love is now available. That way we can filter the comments.

It is good to see that a lot of people are getting behind the movement and adding the attribute. I did it on my blogs and it benefits everyone

I learnt recently about the dofollow and nofollo, and in fact I'm doubting recently if they did right with the invention of the nofollow tag, I mean, what's the aim of it?

@Bill: As you can see, I've just added a quick comment policy. It's not exactly thorough but I think it gets to the heart of what I wanted to say, and tells people what's important to me - community, helping others, but not being "used" for Google Juice and link love...

I think you only need to alter the first instance of anchor text of any link (to any one site). That's the current theory anyway.

@Commenter: Time to approve/delete hasn't really increased EXCEPT with people using SEO-centric names to post comments, knowing they can get some Google Juice from it. I find that somewhat annoying and have made it a policy to edit those names. Although I've yet to make the policy public, which is my mistake.

Of course it will. Sometimes a blog format isn't the best as a busy one will merge the boundaries between that and with a forum. Perhaps we should start calling ourselves forbloggers or blogrums. Bring on the new software!

This dofollow movement is a double edged sword. If you think about it, it help your blog by increasing the number of comments but sometimes they may not be relevant, may be there just for the link. I guess your time to approve/delete them also increased right?

So what's your opinion on dofollow links almost a year later? I hope you're happy with your choice - I think it's commendable and brave of you and hope it pays off.

Thanks to everyone for stating their preferences about the follow - nofollow issue. This helped me cement my decision to allow robots to follow links posted on my site. I will be adding a blog, and after reading all your input I feel ready to jump in! ;- )

@Max: I'm not sure why WordPress doesn't have that implemented. I know it's been discussed by others in the past...

Re: Give Out Some Link Love and Remove NoFollow

So I am pretty new to this whole blogging thing and Wordpress. I suppose I have never really understood why Wordpress didn't allow the option to remove or keep the nofollow tags. It seems like that would be a logical inclusion. I searched the site and haven't heard of any developments in that direction, anyone have any input on that?

I'm pretty sure Andy Beard keeps an ongoing list somewhere. Try a search on his name on Google.

Does anyone know where the latest list of dofollow blogs is these days please? From the old one I found a really good blog on finance and related issues where they like what I write and I like the link-juice I get for my SEO clients from it so I go back to it more often than I need to for strictly commercial purposes. I try to remember there's a distinction between a blog and a forum though. Anyhoo, I could use an up-to-date list so I can search out good rewarding blogs on other subjects that will repay my contributions with some linky-lurrrrrrve, baby. Woh yeah :-)

Certainly a great movement to get into. I hope that it succeeds as I am sure it will :)

No follow is pretty outdated now with so many excellent spam filters out there. Plus, most spammers use automated bots who will spam you regardless of no follow or not.

A good movement. I speak mainly about electric guitars, less about SEO and SEM initiatives but this is a great one, by the way.

honestly I think the do-follow movement is a good thing. I only found out about your blog cause of one of those lists to be honest...BUT then I started reading it. I only read do follow blogs because if I have something to add to the conversation I would appreciate some type of reward. Only makes sense.

I think this is also the way to go! I do-follow links now on my Aussie housewife blog. After a long time procrastinating I have seen the importance of dofollow and using the "do follow" principal to help keep the Internet better connected. http://www.reallyreally.net - Take a look at my dofollow blog and feel free to comment. Thank you, Regards Bree.
