It would be nice to have a plug-in that would allow the blog owner to selectively approve certain commenters with do follow status. I can understand why a blog owner would leave the default no follow in place but that status need not apply to every blog visitor.

I understand that from a purely SEO-perspective, removing nofollow on comments is great for the spammers, and that is the problem. Although Akismet and other WordPress plugins are very effective for battling comment spam, the few comments that does make it though here and there will be much more attractive if do-follow was implemented.

I think the amount of comment spam will increase tremendously if nofollow was removed per default from WordPress.

I repurposed one of my blogs recently, but it isn’t no follow — yet. I’m hesitant to add the badge, as Dawud suggests, wondering if it’ll be a spam magnet. Any thoughts on this?

I joined the DoFollow movement back in June and also installed the NoFollow Case by Case plugin mentioned above. However, in practice I have never used nofollow on any comments because I wind up deleting the ones that are obvious spam anyway.

Meanwhile, according to my Firefox search status, it seems that this blog is still using nofollow. I’m seeing lots of pink rectangles…
