If a blog is good enough then the blog owner won’t need to have do-follow because people will comment to put their point of view accross, not to gain a back link.

The BBC is a perfect example of this. There are no links in the forums and blogs, yet they have many users.

However, when a blog is starting and it wants to get a upper hand, their is no harm in attracting people who want do-follow links, because some will become hooked, so even if you change to no-follow, people will still comment.

Removing the tag just eliminates the possibility of people not receiving the credit for their links.

It seems to just not spread PR through those links. And that is not even sure. Cheers, John hi derek,

I'll be stopping by your site when I can catch up on emails. @BrownBaron - Thanks for the welcome! @Melanie - Thanks, this was one of my goals for the month and that has now been completed. I noticed you are a member of the "nofollow" crowd as well so welcome to you too. @Kelly - It took me too long but I finally got it down and haven't noticed too much spam since then, although there have been some. @betshopboy – Thanks for stopping by and for being another blog in the nofollow crowd.
