There is no code you need to add for “DO Follow” links. Do Follow links are just your old normal links…the only reason the term came about is because people started adding No Follow Links.

Most blogging software, like WordPress (this blog uses), have a default ‘No Follow’ setting for user comments. For example when you posted your link, David Hurley, a no follow link was automatically added. Can you imagine how hard it would be to track each and every comment on a blog? View the bloggers website, analyze it, and then decide if you want to link/promote their site?

It would be like walking allowing any customer who walks into a retail store to post a big banner of their company in the isles.

What do you think?

Also, I have read the opinion that any link in a blog comment apart from the one in the “Website” field can be considered spam. There is even an application that you can add to your blog to blacklist people who add links in their comments.

I feel that if somebody adds a useful comment they should also be able to add a link back to their website in the comment body itself. Spam is when someone just adds a blatant ad like

“Thanks. See http…spamcity dot tv for great blah blah”

But sometimes spam is in the eye of the beholder.

Thanks,
