Apologies to my regular readers who haven’t been abusing my generousity, but I’ve been forced into turning off ‘dofollow‘ on comments. Too many users are trying to take advantage and it’s taking too much time each day to delete or edit their comments.
If users still want to receive a link back from this site, they can still achieve this by becoming a ‘top commentator’ and getting a link to their site in my footer.
WordPress defaults to ‘nofollow’ and I initially switched on dofollow to try and reward regular commentators. However, this seems to have attracted too many commentators like ‘seocontest2008′, who use anchor text in their comments. I think John Chow has a lot to answer for by encouraging this practice as it has really got out of control, and has become a pain in the ass for other bloggers to manage.
I am certain that this move will not deter genuine comments and I hope that you can understand my situation.
Spamming is of course a bad idea and terrible thing. But if a blog using no follow, I think no one will leave comment on it.
WELL SAID.
its looking outstanding
