I just realised today that when I uploaded this new layout for the blog I forgot to enable the do follow plug in for the comments section. By default Wordpress disables the follow setting on any links in comments so search engines will not follow this link to the posters site. However I believe that if someone takes the trouble to provide a comment on your posts, they deserve to get the link back. Unless you’re a spammer of course in which case, may your digits drop off one by one (just kidding, actually not really, stop spamming and get a life)
If you’re interested in this plugin, it is quick and easy to install and doesn’t require any set up, you just simply activate it, if you wish to do so there is an option to disable it for posts beyond a certain age. The one I use is available at michelem.org.
So feel free to comment on any of my posts, especially if you have something good to add to the article and just remember you will get a link back for your trouble. By the way, if your interested in finding a list of blogs that enable follow in comments, there is a directory of them at dofollowblogs.com.

Do follow will really help the leakage of your PR, thats what others said. the more comments from none pr site like me will bring your pr down,
I don’t don’t know if it is proven already but still do follow is great.

Its an interesting way of putting things Juler, you are thanking me for allowing you to steal my pr and then encouraging me to continue?
Well your welcome, I guess.
I stand by my convinction, yes I may be leaking PR to other sites, but since my announcement I am getting more comments, more interaction and I can see more subscribers so unless google suddenly decides to puish me severaly for it I will leave the plugin running. As anyone would I protect myself from spammy comments or bad neighbourhoods.

Do follow maybe leaking of your pagerank. But your pagerank don’t decrease. Do follow drives a lots of traffic to your site. Commenters get benifits of your pagerank. Otherwise you have no loss following do follow.

Couldn’t agree more, in fact I saw a new follow plugin the other day that looked pretty cool, even pulled an excerpt of the others sites blog if it could find one. I think I will try it out and post my results.
