Just as long as we get more comments, it’s all good

Thanks for commenting Keith.

Personally, I put little value on comment links any way, they are not “natural” and I think SE’s can tell the difference. I comment on “do-follow” (really no such thing, just means has been removed, the term do-follow is slang). But there seems to be a community in this “do-follow” movement in comments and I like that. I put do-follow and coommentluv on both my sites to encourage comments mostly because they are new sites.

Everyone is entitled to their viewpoints of course. I do not care why people comment, if they comment more just because of dofollow, then it is okay for me. This works great as long as blog comments have value. I moderate all the blog comments I get, so it is not a problem for me.

Thanks for the comment Jordan

Here’s my simple thinking:

If it matters so much to a commenter that it’s dofollow or nofollow, then I probably don’t want his/her comments in the first place.

Is that too harsh of a viewpoint?

It does not work that way. Having the links either dofollow or nofollow affect your pages ranking just the same way. Basically the more comment links your pages the have, the lesser is the value of your internal links. It has nothing to do with having the links as nofollow or dofollow. Hope this clears things up for you

Thanks for your comment and welcome

That is not a bad idea at all, but I see it a bit differently. For having just comments you get a limited amount of traffic directly plus the link value. On the other hand people that do get on the top commentators list get potentially a lot more traffic. Also having a link on a mainpage will provide a lot more value for the actual link.

Like I said in the article, you loose nothing by having all the comments as dofollow. Your innerpage links compete with value of the comment links anyway and there is no added SEO effect for having the links nofollow.

Thanks for the comment Simon, great to read your comment

Personally, I don’t have dofollow comments, only on the top commentator list. This way, it gives regular commentators a reward, and gives non-regular commentators an incentive to comment more!

Hi bloggeri
I want to ask you something regarding to your pros points:
“Your inner pages will either way loose the value, so why not just spread the wealth”
what if a new blog like mine with no pagerank (i set it as do follow), is my blog going to loosing the value and in the end it will not get higher pagerank?

Great that I could provide you with some new info. You bring a good point to the table about limiting the outbound links . I think I will start to limit the comments per blog post to fifty. Hopefully I’ll just get that much comments some day

Thanks for the comment and taking part in the community and you are welcome back anytime
