Do Follow, Don’t Follow, What The Heck

by Martin on 1 October, 2008

in Blogging

I’ve written a couple of times before (here and here) on whether or not to pay attention to the ‘no follow’ attribute when making comments on blogs. And both of those posts link to excellent posts by Jack Humphrey on the subject.

But I thought I’d scout around the web and bring you some differing views. So here are 4 posts, all of which, to a greater or lesser extent, disagree with me.

Glad to have another dofollow blog to visit!:-

Your blog is already doing so well so this would be more of a â€œthank youâ€ to your readers, I guess.

Cheers,
