This is really true. Many abusive bloggers are using any kinds of techniques just to get back links to their websites. It is important to play by the rules to earn the best results! BTW, thank you very much for this helpful information.

I really enjoyed your post, if you don’t mind, I may hack up your list of rules to use as a comment policy. If that’s OK with you, please let me know by email (you should have it from the comment)

your article is still drawing praise and comments!I think that if people try and blog for seo purposes to try and actually find blogs you like and make comments that make sense.

We have our own little (german) blog, its hard to get people to comment. On my personal (english) blog its much easier. I wonder if it has to do with german mentality? Anyway, you made me rethink my no-follow strategy. Good post ;)

Great article!
I do agree with you on many things. And I dont see the problem with a relevent comment on my page or somebody elses page that has do follow. It benefits both me and the person that has made / or got the comment.

Great blogg with good interesting information on it!

Almost two years after it was originally posted, and your article is still drawing praise and comments!
I believe your article is so popular because your barbecue analogy is easy to understand, and all of your examples are friendly, logical guidelines. (I haven’t gotten any blog comments in German yet, but did get some in oriental characters.)
And I like the dofollow concept; it’s like giving back to your community.
Good stuff! Thank you.

Very sweet of you. I’m not a bot, I just really do have a short comment! So long as it’s not an overt, blatent plug with nothing to do with the post, I have no problem, so yes I agree with you!

This is a good idea to do an etiquette for posting comments on the blog but if everybody have a decent common sense this will be not needed. Unfortunately this is not the case so either you choose no follow to avoid spammers either you code do follow buy you have to moderate and sometime that is to much time consuming

For me the do-follow is a win win. Google likes content so commenting on blogs and forums helps you attain page rank. Yahoo is even more generous so I figure to help my site the more I read and comment on the better. And as an added bonus I’m getting better at SEO and the do follow site gets more traffic.

Some useful info there. I think its right that you should contribute to the blog that you post a link on in some way. There is nothing more anying that simple one word comments.
