Great sum up on DoFollow vs NoFollow.

Reading the latest Google information remember that NoFollow links still leak some of your Google PageRank to other sites, it is best to have miminal links outbound from your site (especially homepage) for SEO reasons unless you want to promote and deliberately share the site you are linking to.

Many are obsessed with do follow blogs, im not saying that this is useless since it give you links but comments should be used holistically within a masterplan for getting what you really need: direct link recommendations from bloggers or site owners with a loyal audience, sending you high quality visitors that will convert well.

Melanie, thanks for the clear explanation of this issue. I found out about it just a few months ago. My blogs are all on WordPress, which has nofollow as default. I’m debating whether or not to go dofollow.

Good post!

It is not clear to me though – why would one want to use ‘nofollow’ attribute?

As I understand site owners review every comment and consider whether they are relevant to their post or not, so the spammers will not be able to incorporate their links anyway.
