Dofollow Comment Links On Blogs?

    I have been thinking about this for a while, and have now made the comment links on my two blogs "dofollow"
    We all want inbound links, however most sites are "nofollow" for comments. We want them, but we are not giving them.
    What do fellow bloggers think of this. Would you make your comments "dofollow" or do you think "nofollow" is better?
    The default in WordPress is "noflollow" To make comments you can either change the php code or add a plugin such as the Do Follow plugin.

    It does not matter if the links are "do" or "no". Traffic is the main lifeline of every blogger right now, and it's the reason why they have lots of readers in their RSS feeds and subscribers to their mailing list. Do-follow has higher advantage because it's more on search engine exposure and traffic, while no-follow can't "juice" up your links, but only traffic.

    I also made one of my blog do follow but most of my other blogs are no follow.I prefer no follow as I am seeing after making my blog do follow there are lots of spam comments coming to my blog.So I am thinking to make that blog also nofollow.

    A few of my blogs are do-follow but it takes a little bit more time to scan for spam posts.

    You will have LOTS of more commenters if your blog is dofollow. (i am sure those commenters are genuine, but the most of them want to link their post/site to your blog)

    Just be careful with spammers if you have a dofollow blog.
