On my blog, Abhishek, i noticed that it got spammed by silly comments as soon as i made them "no follow".

Just my 2 cents!

I think it comes down to the fact that you have to enable do-follow in a lot of themes. If it was that way to start I think you would see a lot more do-follow blogs.

It depends on personal choice and mostly bloggers are not bothered with it.

THey spam whether it is follow or no-follow. If you use wordpress akismet is great for catching spam. The thing I am worried about now with a do follow blog is too much link juice being leeched away.

I actually don't mind spam. Yes it's a pain in the rear end but all my comments have to be approved by me before going "Live".

I have not seen a difference in the amount of spam I whether I use dofollow or not.

I have my SEO blog set to dofollow because I don't have or intend on having a mass amount of links on my blogroll. Just ones I deem relevant so I find it nice to share "link juice"

Well so far, only as much spam as my other blog which is nofollow. Askimet seems to be catching it all though.
