Personally, I have just done the contrary – I have activated the DO-follow.in my three blogs, because I do get the spam anyhow, dofollow or nofollow…

What I do is moderate the comments, and ruthlessly delete evident spam, and all those messages from a same user that only makes general comments or repeats the same comment in several places. People can have the benefit of doubt once. But only once. Then they get trashed out, and all their comments are deleted.

OK, it’s a little more work, but I think it will increase the debate….

Great way to position the argument over do follow or no follow with your own test and revealing the findings. Thank you for your honest experience.

Is you can see, the results of your no – no follow policy had payed of, almost 30 comments on one post.

That is success in my book.
I am making my blog do follow, thanks for the good article.

Jason,
I liked being “do follow” but after the blog got listed on some sites as being a good place to get an easy link, I started getting a bunch of spam. I think every blog gets them though, regardless of no follow / do follow. I’m somewhere in the middle of the argument. I no no strong opinion either way.

Hey, I’m a do-follow site. I am, mainly because I’ve never bothered to change it. However, since I started running captcha, I get no spam, so it is good for me to be do-follow. I don’t advertise it though. I have been thinking about advertising it. I actually found this entry while looking for badges. Now, once again, I’m on the fence and may not advertise it.

I think that whether you are no-follow or do-follow, there will still be bloggers who wish to comment on your site. If you are do-follow, then it might help our google ranking, but if you are no-follow it still helps us to be a part of the blogging community. Being part of the community is more important to me than getting a link back to my site.

I think its a wise choice to your blog as a nofollow. If you do allow backlinks then have a good anti-spam plugin.

I hope for you that this nofollow-change will bring you back in Master GG’s favors

I have seen huge increases in search traffic, but to be honest, in hindsight I’m not sure how much of it was related to this issue. I do think I was penalized by Google for something because I had a reduction in PageRank. I think the drop in search traffic had more to do with changing servers. I went from a server that displayed my site with www to a server that defaulted to no www, which essentially created duplicate content for Google. I inserted some code into the .htaccess file and slowly the search traffic grew. It’s now higher than it ever was. All things considered, I liked being dofollow while it lasted, but I haven’t regretted changing back to nofollow.

I’m curious to know if you have noticed your search traffic increase since you made comments nofollow again.

I’m eventually going to attach a blog to my site, and some of the CMS ideas I’ve been looking at don’t use nofollow.

My initial thought was that I’d not necessarily prefer to have nofollow anyway, but I have seen more and more others going back to nofollow as the months go by.
