I’ve added DoFollow the most liberal dofollow plugin I could find to this blog.  Why did I do it?  Does that mean I am inviting all spammers?

Quite frankly I added do follow to encourage commenters.  I’d like intelligent people to swing by and not only read but also comment on my blog.  I am also willing to give them a link back for their efforts, but I am not willing to support comment spam and I think I can have the best of both worlds as long as I use WordPress for this blog.

You can bet that before I added DoFollow I got my Akismet plugin up and running.  I also didn’t turn off the no follow for trackbacks and pings only for comments.  Most importantly I not only keep and eye on my comment I’ve set my WP discussion settings so that a commenter has to have an approved comment before they can have their comments automatically approved.

This means when I get a comment like

http://www.dental-web-marketing. com/ | contact1@sinaimarketing.com | 89.165.4.241

I’m waiting for next part.
Anyway thank you, that was good info.
Take a look at Dental Internet Marketing. I think you will enjoy.

I can just mark it as the spam it is and move on.  By the way that may look to you like a link to Dental Internet Marketing but really it’s just a trick of the eye .  Go ahead click on it I dare you 

Does it take a little dillagence yes, but it also promotes the spirit of links in the Google sense of linking.  If a commentor links back to their site in their sig or comment – I make sure I do approve of their content if if their opinon differs from mine before I give them a link.
