We know blog commenting can turn into spamming, but if done right and respectfully, commenting can be a good addition to a link building strategy as you know. So we have tweaked a custom google search to search for specific keywords and only return blog posts and web pages built on a popular open source CMS that all allow dofollow links in comments. You can find the search tool at http://commentlinkbuilding....

I understand the need for the nofollow in the past, but with today's spam filters I don't have much of an issue removing the nofollow from comments. I wish more wikis removed the nofollow from links as well.

I just posted some new Free U Comment I Follow Buttons & Badges on my blog for anyone who wants a dofollow badge that's a little more Web 2.0

I have been going Do-Follow for a few months now with good results. My main concern was getting spam comments. I’ve found that the Spam Karma plugin flags most of the spam comments and it just takes me a few minutes a day to monitor comments.

I think dofollow will become more popular since social media is becoming so big. Encouraging comments enhances community building and relationship building.

Moving away from our prior business of making menus for restaurants, we're looking to add more income by using social networking sites. Dofollow is definitely the way to go!

I use DoFollow in all my blogs but I'm forced to review comments before publication as I get tons of spam by Chinese or Russian spammers all days long.

I just started a Digg-like social bookmarking called....dofollownet and it allows DoFollow links from within the articles. I welcome all submissions as long as they are well written, related to the category in which they are posted and not too spammy ;-)

Late to the party, but I am here now. I just installed the dofollow wordpress plugin. I also did a logo, not very proud of it, but did not find better.

I'm following suit too. I like the phrase "spread the love". Let's make the web a lot nicer with DoFollows.

i think google can't deny the web nature, it's because it, we call the web... doesn't it??

the world wide WEB, i didn't know how to call the internet after all links become nofollow links, may be we must change all the web adressess as: WW.nofollowedaddress.com

just the World Wide... no more WEB any more

I hadn't really thought about the Dofollow issue until I read some pieces last week but will definitely be following suit and show some blog love....

Wow, This sounds pretty cool. I am going to follow suit and hopefully it will help some of the starters out.

There's a large number of blogs on the No NoFollow I Follow DoFollow BUMPzee Community that are not nofollow. Many of them seem to be about search engine optimisation!

I've been using the DoFollo search engine off and on and it seems to be a pretty good idea. I'm not sure how it adds blogs to it's index though. I seem to run across the same blogs a lot in my searches.

I use dofollow to make google find out the links of the blogs of my readers. If all bloggers make this we can have a much better web.

I just installed the dofollow plugin to my wordpress today. It seems like a great idea. The default no-follow seems to ruin the idea of xfn.

I have seen this everywhere and I hope it's not taking away rather than adding to. I'm going to give it a try on my blog and see what happens. Thanks for the post.

absolutely agree. i've removed my nofollow some months ago and people now comments often on my posts

Nice one. I agree, nofollow sucks and does nothing to encouraging commenting.

Ben, great post! I have been seeing more and more bloggers joining in on the dofollow movement. I think it is a great idea. I am definitely installing the plugin on my blog! Thanks for leading the way! :)

Great post, I've been noticing a lot of blogs that have disabled the nofollow function, I think this is great. Of course you gotta worry about spam and irrelevant comments but for the most part you'll receive legit comments from readers who truly want to voice their opinion on your post.

BTW, my blog has dofollow...hit me up anytime!

Aaron - since my redesign I haven't fully tested out the Link Love plugin I'm using. It may not be setup correctly.

Having said that, I also set it (way back when) to only remove no-follow after you left 3 comments, which also might be why it's still no-follow.

As for the anchor text you use for your name - I've asked people to use their name. I still haven't put up a proper Comment Policy (but I will at some point.) This is a choice I've made with my blog - it might not suit everyone, and that's OK. I don't think it should stop people from leaving legitimate comments and joining the discussion.

For me, comments are about the conversation and the people, not trying to gain a bit of Google Juice with good anchor text. But again, that's me, and my blog. Anyone else can have different policies for difference reasons.
