On balance, I realise that I'm really looking for a way to increase comments on my blog and dofollow seems a good way to do this. However, it is important to moderate carefully and ensure the links and comments are appropriate to create a blog community that is appropriate and relevant to my content. Thanks for the post and all the comments on here, they have really helped. It’s nice to have a different perspective on dofollow as everything else I have read says how great it is.

Why? A dofollow blogger usually sets all comments and trackbacks to moderation before they go live, therefore they're using the best spam filter you can buy - a human. This takes more work but the pay off is a better blog. Dofollow blogs can attract more bloggers who want to link to your posts, and increasing your relevance and quality. I don't believe the dofollow community will sway Google one way or another. They likely realize that dofollow bloggers (like myself) will have to be vigilant in moderating their blogs or they'll pay the price for laziness.

Currently I have it set up to use nofollow for anyone with less than 10 comments on my site. Those who have commented more, gets "real" link in return. I have not told my readers about this, as this most likely would create some comments on false premises. I have installed called LinkLove to have better control on my comments.

If someone is good enough to leave a relevant comment on my blog, they deserve a link back. The whole point of the dofollow movement is to allow relevant comments and weed out spammers. I agree.
