Do You Follow?

I've ran across alot of blogs and I noticed that they don't use the dofollow tags. I'm just curious how many the members of DP use the "DoFollow" tag on their blogs? And if you don't why not?

Does it take away from your PR or something?

 

Because of this:

And it takes from your PR too.

 

Most of my blogs are "Do Follow". People looking for PR juice are obvious and get their comments deleted anyway.

 

I haven't put any dofollow plugins. But now i am thinking of installing one and allow dofollow comments on my blog.

 

Des it ACTUALLY take away from your Page Rank? If so why and how much, if you know

 

From my experience, i think it doesn't. Only you'll have to prepare yourself to get a lot of spam comment

 

i just installed a dofollow plugin in my blog. Now my blog's comments are dofollow.
check it GetAdviced.com

 

I set it so that a member must have at least 2 approved posts before their links become dofollow.

 

Due to the amount of spam one of my blogs gets, I no longer use a do-follow plugin and have begin blocking the IPs of offending users. The IPs also come off free hosts so I have begin reporting back to these free hosts.

 

Guthix, which plugin do youu use? and how do u set it to allow only after 2 approved post?

 

I use do-follow as it encourages commenting

just make sure you moderate all comments

 

It is supposed to leak your Page Rank but I am not too sure whether Googlebot is getting more sensitive to that issue now.

 

Here - NoFollow Free

It has a bunch of useful options, like putting no-follow tags if words in the comment match a blacklist.
