My <a href="http://repossession-diaries.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">repossession blog</a> has been do follow for about 2 weeks, after being live and receiving no comments at all, I got 5 in two weeks after making it do follow. Ok, so I got the same number of spam, BUT - I got spam before it was do follow anyway! I still think the advantages of having a do follow blog out weigh the dis-advantages.

Thanks for the link! One of the key points that is included in some of the destination links you provided that I feel should be pointed out is: If you have links that are 'nofollow' it still does not stop a <strong>human</strong> from clicking on them, only compliant search bots from not following. I don't know about you, but I don't want these types of links in my blog at all! NoFollow doesn't solve the problem it was intended for, and penalizes the rest of us.

Mortgage-Quotes (who should go into business with such a name), and have just activated Do-Follow on my <a href="http://sensitivitytothings" rel="nofollow">site</a>. At the very least, I'm more than happy to reward frequent commentators in some small way, and will still reserve the right to decline comments that don't meet minimum standards of effort and insight.
