Nofollow No More – For Now Anyway

February 19, 2007

After much discussion, we have decided to remove the “no follow” tag from comments made on the blog. Typically, spammers try to take advantage of situations like this. However, I think it is important for bloggers to encourage a thriving blog community. We decided to make this change for two reasons:

  1. We use the Akismet plugin for WordPress and it does a super job of catching spam comments.
  2. I felt it was important to reward those who take the time to leave a comment on the blog with a little “link-love”. Our blog is PR4 currently, so leaving a comment will give you a decent little backlink.

I hope that this works out well and that people do not take advantage of it. If we see a bunch of comments like: “Nice post!” or “I agree!”, things like that which offer nothing of benefit, we may have to bring “no follow” back.

Until then, feel free to comment and reap the rewards :).

If you want to join our “link-love” community, here is the code for the button link love graphic:
