You don’t normally get pinged, but they can show up in Technorati. Some blogs actually showed up in Technorati even with nofollow, I am not sure why.

It is also good to add a comments policy to discourage manual spam.

Hi Andy,
That’s interesting about links showing up in Technorati. What kind of comments policy do you mean that would discourage manual spam?
Andy Beard

I will link to my comments policy as an example, feel free to use whatever you like from it. It might be more lenient than most people’s.

I also used the one on Teli’s blog as inspiration

Andy: Cookies. Interesting and yet seemingly complicated.

On another topic – I like your RSS feed icon and its nifty drop-down menu! Plugin?

Thanks for spotting that – I used to disable the comments form if people hadn’t read the policy. It worked for 98% of people, but I got rid of it for the 2%

I forgot to remove the cookie code from the policy.

The drop down needs some work, there is 2 versions, the better of them is on toprankblog.com it seems, though their version is generated, and I heard they disabled it.

The other version is from http://www.ifeedreaders.com/news/5/

They have both a plugin and a generator, though the generated version is better.

One task I have is to modify it tomorrow so that the list is in 3 columns, and I am having some problems with the long list and other divs.

Dofollow plugin encourages visitors to comment, it benefits blog owner. And nofollow doesn’t stop spam, plugins like Akismet do.

We’ve done the same with our blog – the only difference is the number of commentators increased and most of the conversation has been relevant and interesting. No bad thing DoFollow!

Its ironic that many bloggers talk about this but then they actually use no follow.

I just installed a dofollow plugin on my blog as well, will see how it goes too 🙂
