Do Follow Blog Comments for Everyone

Thanks for this nice blog.

I don't run a blog (blogger) as such, it's a hand crafted site with a disucssion forum. I've actually been toying around with the idea of making user inserted links (www. http: etc.) live links instead of just text and I had been a bit worried about the SEO concequences hence I found this blog.

So.. I've decided to go for it. Let the link juice flow and we'll see what happens. My main worry was the spammy online viag*** nonsense that you often get on unmoderated forums.

I guess we'll see!

Thanks for the post on dofollow versus nofollow. I experienced the same with my blog. That is to say that once I changed from nofollow to dofollow, the number of comments increased substantially.

I have followed your instructions to the 'T' and was simply able to remove rel='nofollow' tags from the relevant points in the Layout->Edit Html->Edit Template->Expand Widget Templates area.

However, as you will see, the links in comments are all still 'nofollow'. Here is the link to my blog:

The second entry was my test post:

http://annoyingparkingticket.blogspot.com/2009/08/california-vehicle-code-cvc-div-11-cvc.html

You will see comments are all nofollow, even though I demonstrated in comment #6 that the template has rel='nofollow' removed. Note that '<>' were replaced by '[]' to push html through the comment form and publish it. Main thing, there is no nofollow in the template.

So I'm at a loss, and have no additional idea how to change my blogger into dofollow. I would really appreciate all replies pointing toward a solution. Thanks!

P.S.: Here is a link straight to comments. Please comment with your ideas:

DoFollow blogs attract a great number of spammers and that's why many blogs turn to nofollow every day,it's a pity.
I hope some day they will stop to spam and read the post and add some value with their comments,posting your links everywhere is not link building is a pathetic spam..

Cheers!

@ Matt:

I apprectiate you comment in my blog. Posts like yours help me realize I missed an important step that is causing you this problem.

To make sure this works you need to go to your settings menu. From here go to comments and go to the "Comment Form Placement" and make sure the embedded below post is selected. This will show the post and comments on the same page. When shown together the comments are dofollwo. If you leave the comments to a seperate page then they will be nofollow.

Vocab Builder- You can use a tracking tool such as Google Analytic. The problem with enabling the do follow is all the SPAM, which I have seen as relatively low. The new traffic may be from "Do Follow Directory" that have your URL listed a as place to post comments to receive link juice.

Thanks for information. By the way I don't agree that all are spammers who post in do follow blogs promoting their website. Yes, it gives traffic, but if it is a comment related to theme and website link is used just in name, I don't suppose it is a spam.

Thanks for your article it can be help with great rank in google

It is great move! And it will increase your traffic but many will b spammers, but some of them will stick and read your blog. That's great but latetly really rear option.

One thing is true that you will get lot of comments due to which your blog will be refreshed a lot and this helps in making a page perform better in search engines. So this way do follow is better BUT lot of spam will also happen which might hurt as you have make sure that you are not linking out to any bad website.

Commenting is a really good way to increase backlinks, however, some people tends to make spammy comments and there are soooo many of them! Sometimes it good to make lots comment, but we have to make quality comments too, not just “Me too” or “Interesting Blog” or “Interesting Article” Comments.

Had a quick look at it very useful tool; and it proves the point I made do-follow-blog-list-revisted. There are better Search engines coming out that work sooo much better then a static list or rudimentary Search engine.

I am thinking about doing a kind of blog article directory. I have always wondered what the big deal was, when it comes to no-follow vs. do-follow. It looks really easy to change, and there seems to be som great advantages to do-follow.
