Unfortunately, I am not the owner of this blog, I am one of many writers. If I had the choice I would have the nofollow removed.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I added a nofollow pluggin that will automatically disable all nofollow comments.
I will be monitoring the result of this decision.

Nice article, you should think of taking the nofollow off this blog, it will really increase the comments to your posts.

You mentioned that nofollow links do count. This is not what Google has stated.

As stated in their guidelines at Preventing Comment Spam

“From now on, when Google sees the attribute (rel=”nofollow”) on hyperlinks, those links won’t get any credit when we rank websites in our search results.”

I disagree with using it this way. If someone spammed my blog, I don’t want the comment on there, it is useless to the post, and so I will delete it. Leaving the “buy your Drugs here” comment and just marking the url as no follow is bad for your site.

So being that I will not be leaving the spam on my site why discourage comments by making the URLs nofollow?

It is important to understand that rel=”nofollow” links does count in search engine ranking.

I think HTML 5’s rel=”external nofollow” is much better than the current standard. external nofollow states that the link is not part of the current document, and not endorsed by the current documents author.
