Does “Nofollow” do any good for a blog?
Posted in Existence
I’m not so sure. It sounds like it was started for a good reason, but it’s failed to curb comment spam.
Randa Clay over at Randa Clay Design has an interesting post on the Dofollow plugin for WordPress.
Does anybody know if installing this plugin hurt or benefits a blog?
I think Google penalizes you for dofollow. Some link scam thing.
Recently I joined a campaign to comment on all the blogs I visit. It’s not about UCommentIFollow, but more like a common courtesy to fellow bloggers. I’ve done pretty well with it, but once in a while, I find a blog in which I have nothing to add to the conversation.
I wish more bloggers were like this, but hey, that’s just me……………..
yes, i recently joined the “U comment i follow” movement, though my reason is not about the benefit of of “links”. It is just a courtesy to fellow bloggers or some would say as “love link.” Well, the “no follow” has done nothing to my site so i guess, why dont i joint the “i follow” movement. I come across a number of good sites with “i follow” so i think it wouldnt hurt you if you want to try.
I agree with IAAdmin – “I wish more bloggers were like this, but hey, that’s just me……………..” but hey, that is just me too..
have a great weekend yaa..

@IAAdmin, @Rizal,
Thanks for the comments.
I think I have decided not to use IFollow on this blog. Google apparently does have a penalty, which is not such a big deal for a little blog like mine. But the deciding factor was a BlackHat SEO tactic I read about. An IFOLLOW blog becomes a target for people trying to build backlinks to their own site. They purposely fine IFOLLOW sites to comment on for the backlink, not for any meaningful conversation.
Oh, their comment may seem relavent, but that’s not why they came to the site to begin with.
