U Comment I Follow

Whether to follow or nofollow on comments is still a highly debatable topic but for me, it’s a no brainer. It’s do follow for my blog.It’s really good for link building.

Thanks for stopping by Peter! It’s nice to reward people for interacting with your site.

I just implemented Do follow on my blog using Lucia’s Linky love plugin. It looks like Linky love gives you a few more options vs your choice.

The main difference is Linky love lets you set the number of comments before they become do follow, this rewords your regular commenters and does not give do follow to “drive bys”

Thanks for the comments Ned! I haven’t heard of Lucia’s Linky Love. That option to limit Do Follow to those having a certain number of minimum posts sounds great, but unless you have a big announcement to let visitors know, you’d probably still get the same number of drive bys… I’ll have to check it out though!

Thanks for the information…
Regards from Turkey!

Glad to have another dofollow blog to visit!:-

Your blog is already doing so well so this would be more of a “thank you” to your readers, I guess.

Thanks for the visit & comment skyje! I definitely want to give something back to those who comment. IMHO, it’s one of the best ways to determine how well a blog is doing. If nobody takes the time to comment, then you’re probably doing something wrong… You’ve got to motivate people to interact and when a blog is new, a little link bribery doesn’t hurt.

It looks like your blog is doing well. How do you like the Guzel theme? I’m using it on another blog – it’s working out well and was well received by visitors. It can be a pain to customize though. I like the individual RSS feeds per category, but I don’t know how to change out the links to utilize Feedburner… any ideas?

I’ve been comment friendly for the best two years now and that move has paid off in more traffic as well as higher quality comments.

Sure, the occasional spammer sneaks through but I can obliterate their comment before any harm is done.

I haven’t done U Comment/I Follow, but my blogs are an easy place to get some linky love.

It’s important to note that just by installing these types of plugins you are not guaranteed more traffic. I’ve installed the same ones on other blogs and this is the only one that gets great comments. The others mainly get spam, if anything. I think the niche is very important too…

Well, Such discussion regarding whether to do follow the link on the comment or not is heard here and there. But I personally believe as there is no reason to keep any blog as a no follow except to stop spam which can be done by many other means.

The dofollow plugin is great. I use it on a number of sites and it is easy to setup and use.

Blogspot and wordpress comes with no-follow by default. Thanks for wordpress plugin. But am looking for blogspot plugin. I a struggling to make my blog do-follow.

For every blog that we have had, we always tried to make sure that no follow was in there. A lot of times we just had to take it out in the code, but it took time to find. Yes, the spam increased, but if you moderate comments like you are, then you should have no problem. Congrats on joining the movement.

hotel madrid, I don’t have much experience customizing blogspot, but here is a guide that should help…

discount consumer electronics, Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment!

This dofollow plugin is great. I just use it on some of my blogs and seems to be working fine without hassle.

Well, sites that joined “U comment movement” are hands down . They greatly help other sites for building quality links pointing to their site. Do-follow plug-in is really an admirable work, thanks for this.

I have a wordpress blog and have been trying to figure out where this code can be changed. Thanks for the plug in information I will forward to my webmaster as I believe in rewarding quality comments as well.

Comment moderation and plugins like commentluv are great for bloggers worried about spam and one hitter quitters
I just started looking into dofollow plugins and I appreciate your review of commentluv…it seems to be just what I’m looking for…thanks

I Agree with Peter, there´s still a big debate between non-do follow links.- Thanks for the post.-

Elina, No problem. Thanks for the comment

As long as you’ve got a good spam blocker, there’s no reason not to go DoFollow. It was implemented to thwart spambots who don’t really even care whether they’re sent out to post on blogs that are nofollow or dofollow. It’s counterproductive and the invention of it didn’t really solve anything – especially since Yahoo still ignores the tag outright!

First Home Buying´s last blog post..Private Mortgage Insurance

@First Home Buying, – I agree. Akismet has done a great job for me. I am do follow and I don’t think I have gotten any more spam comments by being so.

However I have not promoted my blog as do follow by getting on the various do follow lists. I have noted some of the more popular blogs I read have gone back to no follow because they said they got way more increased spam messages.

Ned Carey´s last blog post..What Are You Doing to be Successful?

Thanks a lot for not selecting, “remove nofollow for registered users only”

I hate registering for comments.. comments should be open for all

No problem. I think that would defeat the purpose. Either you have open comments, or require registration, so that option is a little pointless, IMO.

One of the more outstanding ideas someone has come up with – really in my eyes, when you have visitors writing well thought, and knowledgeable responses to articles, they too deserve some credibility – thanks!

I think, doFollow blog is a good idea,
Now, my blog is dofollow

Hi,
Comment moderation and plug ins like commentluv are great for bloggers worried about spam and one hitter quitters.
Thanks.

doFollow is a great system because it allows the webmaster to get juicy keywords which will boost his ranking in the search engines for more terms.

Hi,
Commentluv was implemented to thwart spambots who don’t really even care whether they’re sent out to post on blogs that are nofollow or dofollow.
Thanks.

I am surfing around to see about changing my blog to do follow. Glad to see all the comments.

I wonder how long until google starts penalizing, if at all. This trend is spreading pretty fast.

I need to think first and fix something first before making my blog to do follow.

I think you need to moderate and allow do follow. You want relevant comments and you want to reward people at the same time. There should also be limits as to how many comments there can be.

Hi,
Dofollow is good but unfortunately as Google continues to refine their algorithm to discount spammy links and moves toward semantic search, and considering that most blogs have a low pagerank, I don’t foresee the benefit of do follow links continuing much longer. I also think this will contribute to Google losing relevance as eventually the only search results you will get are for mega conglomerate organizations that have been around forever.
Regards,
Jessica

Jessica, There’s really no way for us to know what to believe. I’ve read recently that because many spammy sites use nofollow links, those will be the types of sites penalized.

I agree with you jessica. Google prioritize the do follow links. But unfortunately no follow high pr are appearing on the back links.

i am in favor of Do Follow comments blog, whats wrong if someones trying to post a little on your blog! if the purpose is getting a link only so also, atleast you are getting visitors.. but yes the comment should not be irrelevant

This is an incredibly important plug-in to reward your commenters and stimulate blog conversation, which is the whole point of a blog anyway.

Thanks. I was totally unaware that wordpress made comments nofollow by default.

tidewater, No problem. I figured that if I didn’t know about it until I saw and wondered what the U Comment I Follow badge represented, then others wouldn’t know either.

It’s great to see someone else a part of this movement!

whoever her is in favor of do follow blog, does not own one do follow blog himself, i had few for my site and the way they are spammed once you let it lose….
i am in favor of moderated, do follow blogs

This a wonderful way to reward your readers for actively contributing to your site.

I would agree. Anyway to give back to your readers is a plus. You just do not see that anymore.

Hi, its nice to see that you have removed the no follow tag from the link. As the main purpose of no follow tag was to stop comment spam but hope it was unable to stop the flow of spam comment and on the another hand the real commentator didn’t get any reason to leave a comment. Comment moderisation is really one of the best way to get rid of comment spam rather than activiating no follow tag.

as you may already know, Google and other major search engines are using a page segmentation analysis, which will allow search engine bots to identify sections on web pages, such as comments, footer, blog rolls and so on. Even if dofollow is still passing page rank, I don’t think it will work on the long run.

spam blockers are really needed these days because you will always get spam from e-mails and on your facebook account too.;’-

spam blockers are necessity these days with constant spam coming from the internet”-.

Thanks for share this plug-in. I have heard about this plug-in but today I found it in details. I will try to use it.

It’s important to note that just by installing these types of plugins you are not guaranteed more traffic. I’ve installed the same ones on other blogs and this is the only one that gets great comments. The others mainly get spam, if anything. I think the niche is very important too…

Nice to hear about dofollow plugin.

I have just implemented it in two of my blogs.

The dofollow plugin is great. I use it on a number of sites and it is easy to setup and use.

I would agree. Anyway to give back to your readers is a plus. You just do not see that anymore.

Having a do follow blog is good because it gives back to your readers. I will be checking out this site more often and reading more of your blog posts.

Dofollow links are internet architecture! Dofollow! Dofollow!

That plugin is good, it will definitely get rid of dofollow spammers, but what are you gonna do with those who use automatic software?
