Dofollow it is very good indded to have good comments and also to build original content in the same time, a thing which Google really likes.

@Mitch– I don’t think there is any equavalent to Lucia’s Linky Love for blogger. Whoever wrote it would need to be able to do things like count comments in the database. It’s easy to figure out in WP because we host our own databases. I don’t think Blogger provides information on how to do that.

The *most* you might be able to do with Blogger is add logic to delay the dofollow for a few days. The main advantage of that is psychological. The human comment spammers never “feel” like they got the follow. (You’d delete it anyway, but for spammers, seeing their comment with no ugly pink exist for a little while can be rewarding.)

Thank you Maurice,

However the posts led me to where I can remove no follow from blogger (I still needed that info so thanks anyways). But I wanted to know if Lucia’s plugin had a version for free blogspot bloggers? I like the idea of a plugin that would remove or identify spammers easily, and I would like to set one up before I move over to do follow.

At this point in time I don’t have a wordpress blog, or an extra domain to stick one on it with a domain name that I like. Thats my current dilemma. It looks as though Spam Karma is also a WP plugin?

Hi Lucia,

I was interested in that plugin of yours, but I run a Blogspot blog. Is there a widget or code for me to use to be able to do that with? Or can you point me in the right direction somewhere? I currently am set on nofollow, but was looking into possibly changing to do follow.

@everyone: I’ve visited all your blogs in the past, and I agree: the comments left on your blogs are of consistently high standards.

@Steve: I think everyone has more human comment spam since Dofollow began. But that’s not solely due to using dofollow. Many of us did go “dofollow” last spring/summer when the movement was publicized. At the same time, a few “human comment spam” companies formed. These were reported by Problogger (among others.) I commented on it too.

So, the human comment spam increased for everyone, not just dofollowers. I have no doubt the companies tried to use the dofollow lists, but that’s dropped off for me too.

My blog is a dofollow blog, and I personally have not found Pam’s statements to be true at all. While there are certainly those bloggers who try to leave some snippet comment screaming of spam (”nice post, come visit my blog at http:blah-blah-blah), in no way related to the topic of the post, my personal experience has been that most comments left are well thought out, articulate, adding meaningful points to the discussion.

My favorite part to date is that most of those who comment on my blog, come back often and keep good conversation in play, and we’ve built a community-like relationship of sorts by getting to know each other.
