Yes this is a DOFOLLOW blog and a tasty PR3 one at that (not that that really means anything nowadays) and I would love to make sure your links appear here. But I am picky. It’s only fair, I am offering you an opportunity to benefit from my blog, but I am not going to reward any old junk, and alas, many of the “comments” offered are just that – junk.
- Please read the post right the way through so you understand what you are about to comment on.
- Leave more than one line comments. I automatically will assume you are a spam bot if you comment “Great post, added you to my RSS” or similar
- Feel free to disagree with me, or other commenters. Conflict breeds creative thinking. We aren’t all sheep
- Feel free to suggest sites other than your own as something to read on the subject. At least try to pretend you are here for something other than a link
If you have commented recently and you comment has not appeared that will be the reason why (unless you are my pet troll of course).
I don’t think it is too much to expect to get some decent comments every now and then, and you can see that I don’t do it just for the numbers next to the blog post heading, so put a little effort in and we all will benefit!

Interesting. In a time where the readiness of giving out links is shrinking more and more you are doing the exact opposite. I don’t understand why everyone is so picky about that. As long as the comment adds value it doesn’t hurt you to give out a link. BTW I’m not doing this for a backlink.

Michael-
Call me crazy, but at least as far as Matt Cutts explained PR as a function of links out and links in, it seems to me that there’s definitely a chance of it hurting, especially if you get hit by spammers.
That said, I think moderation is the best – ZenHabits tried dofollowing the comments and got blasted by spammers and self-promoters, but always had a lively conversation. If you can use moderation wisely, to allow ranked backlinks, but to quality-control the spammers from making your blog look all nasty, I think you have a win-win.

I like dofollow blogs, tell the truth. of cource, dofollow – means backlinks. But! I won’t comment borring blogs even if they are DO – doesn’t matter. I prefer the authers who is opened for commentators. Smtimes I see blogs called “dofollow”, but after Ctrl U – Ctrl F – I see NO
