Default Do-follow blogs

I have created a new blog about technology and the internet and decided to make it no no-follow i.e. do-follow for the comment links. Like forum links here I believe it is the least I can do to thank somebody adding relvant comments to my blog. I was just wondering why others don't do this, the majority of blogs seem to be no-follow.

Cheers,

Tony

Tony, I think it depends on the bloggers personal thoughts on nofollow links. I enable it in my blog .

I guess the issue is having irrelevant outbound links with irrelevant anchor text that could look spammy i.e. hyperlinked commenters names. That is my only concern really.

Default Reason

Most of the people instead of commenting on blog use nice blog keep it up or very good information or some post their product ads.
That's why most of the people allow no follow link to avoid all these things

If they do not actually contribute anything you simply don't approve their comments.

Do-follow blogs are a nice thing but can also be used in other purposes.

That is why some choose to leave do-follow, while some prefer having no comments at all than giving away links.
