Hi, I recently started a blog and I see some people are posting comments. I have a few questions regarding these comments: - Are comments on your blog good ? - Why are they good ? - I can edit their comments, is it oke if I remove their URL ??? - How can I know whether my blog is do or not follow ? Please answer these questions for me. Thanks in advance.
You should be very careful if you are allowing "do-follow" links on your blog. If you give a link to a penilized or banned site, then you could end up in the same position. make your comment links no-follow unless your going to highly monitor the comment links. Do a search on Google to find out what a no follow link looks like, the subject is highly covered all over the web.
Comments on your blog are good! They are good because they give the search engines a reason to come back to spider your site again - new content You can edit comments, take out URLs, or whatever else you want to do if it's your blog To find out if your blog comments are dofollow or nofollow just navigate to a page on your blog that has a comment on it. Look at the page source code (Press Ctrl + U if using Firefox) and look to see if the nofollow tag is on the link of the commenter. It should look like this <a href="http://www.whateversite.com" rel="nofollow">Joe Commenter</a> Code (markup):
There is pros and cons for changing your blog to nofollow. Pros, more people like marketers are willing to offer useful and comments on your site hence you get more contents for search engine. Cons you get more spam on your site.
