So what your saying is that you don’t believe in the myth because your PR3 dofollow blog didn’t lose any PR

Well , i believe in this myth dude,
coz my blog qwertyweb is a do-follow and now on PR3 , but my previous other blogs were no follow and so stayed on PR2
Many people comment on just do-follow blogs , hehe
Having do-follow blog surely increases link-building and tends more traffic and yeah , about spammers ,theres akismet to rescue :)

I don’t think that having a nofollow blog helps the spam situation much, at least not where the bots are concerned, and I’ve seen some pretty spammy human comments on nofollow blogs as well.

Louise I am so glad that I could help. As to goodies, the answer would be yes if you were to host with BlueHost, which is the host I use, or even if you were to go so far as to use the theme I’m using

Either way, if you get stuck with anything I will do what I can to help.

Hi there Sire,
I’ve recently returned from a much needed posting sabbatical. While away, I did a bit more investigating and have decided to go with Wordpress early next year.

You were right on so many levels and I do appreciate it. Do you get any goodies if I join through your website? I would love to put the money where my mouth is:) Thanks again!

P.S. I LOVE your festive background!

Dofollow comments on a blog has its own advantage and disadvantage. One advantage is that its helps if your blog is new to get the traffic as more people will visit more because of the link juice shared, however, spammer will probably take over except if you have a good spam filter!
Thanks for the post!

If you say so Uttoran. I don’t know enough to argue with you. All I can say it that I get a lot of comments and even though they are all dofollow it didn’t hurt my ranking at all.

I also believe that the majority of bloggers feel that dofollow will hurt their ranking and that’s why they have nofollow blogs.

every link, whether dofollow or nofollow or even a page of your own site takes away, leach/drain pagerank. Yes! The only way currently to stop a pr leak is to put your outgoing links in java script.

this was not the same in the past, the nofollow really stopped the pr leak, its not so now. This is actually a google algo fault and they can’t help it. sadly, its a google mistake and they can’t cure it. so the nofollow links no longer saves the pr leak.

however, it dosenot really matters, you give some link, you get some links… its all mostly balanced at the end of the day :)

My pleasure Cait, and as far as I’m concerned I’ll stick with dofollow and delete the extra spam.

Oh, and just so you know, I don’t believe your way of thinking is messed up at all.

*Reads all of the comments* Holy crap!

Anyway, I don’t get all of the PR Google stuff. My Mom, reads a whole bunch of stuff on it, and I read some here and there (Only because she tells me what she thinks, and we all just agree). But, any of the stuff I have read seems to be all different.

Even the big wigs can’t agree on which is right. I’m sure that there is good that comes from NoFollow. Not for anyone but, you of course.

I still used NoFollow on some stuff, like outbound links to other sites in the blog post. JUST because! And, most times if I know someone who is leaving a comment, or they have a ligament site – I will give them a Follow.

If you have a DoFollow blog, you are probably going to get more comments. Which then gives you more content, which then makes Google happy, right? So, do you NoFollow everything, and get NO comments or any participation. OR, do you DoFollow, and get more people?

Perhaps my way of thinking is messed up (HA we all know it is) – but that’s just the way I look at it.

P.S – Thanks for giving me a few DoFollow Links. Lolz!
