I’ve seen many of this and read different opinion about it. Some people support it and some people don’t. I myself support it but don’t know how to do it in blogsome

I think that is a great idea, regular commenters get links.

I like the comment luv application too. Its a great tool if you write killer titles which I seem to be sorely lacking in.

I ahve also seen a few bloggers taking it in their own hands too and using the top commentators and if you end up in there at the end of the month, they will post about you with a link back to your blog.

It seems like nearly all “I follow” blogs on the web are PR0 or PR ‘n/a’.

It’s hard to find anyone with a PR1+ that follows.

I still think it’s a good thing and I applaud you for following.

I’m trying similar thing on my blog, because I want to build a community around it. This is the best way to promote commentating.

My blog now follows links. At first I thought nofollow was a good idea but I have changed my mind on that. After a long time procrastinating I have seen the importance of “dofollow” and making sure everything stays connected and links don’t get broken. I will follow comments on my blog, http://www.reallyreally.net I hope more people adopt these principals. Regards Bree.

Its ironic that many bloggers talk about this but then they actually use no follow.

Good point…and that’s why I use the 5 comments and then I follow approach.

The NoNoFollow or U Commnet I Follow movement is a great way to increase blog participation at the end of the day - if you want to leave a comment the last thing you want is for it to be moderated by some backdoor piece of code. I for one have implemented the DoFollow plugin on my blogs and hope more people do so in the future.

Doesn’t this encourage spam? enabling the follow tag will encourage spammer to post useless post in order to get into search engine.

I like it and will implement it (once I have traffic that comments, lol). I think if you set it at a more moderate number like 5 - it is a number that wont encourage anyone to waste their reputation in order to reach the dofollow quickly.

As far as I’ve read, it’s tracked by the email address you enter. So, you can use a different name and a different URL each time you comment if you wanted to.

Does it track the URL on the nick if I used this plugin?

I appreciate your comments very much. I’ve been contemplating the nofollow since this post, and have come a little closer to reducing the number to 3. My spamments (if any) are pretty recognizable. But then again, if I reduce it to 3, why not remove it at all? I know, I know. I’m a mess…with something that should be so simple.

I also like the idea of the fading nofollow. Thanks for the ideas. I’ll be in deep thought this week.
