My Blog is now Dofollow!

[andryia]

Hey gang, I wanted to let you know that I've removed the "nofollow" tags from my blog, Recession Proof Living.

That means any comment you make will give you search engine "link juice" that will build your Page Rank. I moderate comments on my blog before publishing them to make sure they aren't spam. But any respectful, on-topic post will be published--whether you agree with me or not. So comment away!

While you're at it, learn how to make your own restaurant favorites like Key Lime Cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory. When you sign up email alerts, you'll get a free Secret Restaurant Recipes cookbook as my welcome gift to you. See you on the blog!

I heard that #nofollow tags are not as effective now as they used to be. So, your site may be making a smart move. I am not sure.

After I started this thread, I switched to a self-hosted WordPress blog. I believe WP uses nofollow tags by default, so you can disregard the "dofollow" for now.

I think there may be a dofollow plugin for WP, but I'm not sure I want to go that route.

I believe do follow will benefit you as well. (if I see from SEO perspective)
Comment can make each page of your blog unique. but also can reduce keywords density. Moreover you add "recent comment" widget. if you have a lot of comment this widget will change everyday. which mean search engine will look your blog have fresh content.
