Everyone likes people commenting on the articles they write. One way to get new comments is using the do follow. However with that comes the SPAM. I guess if moderated properly, then spam can be controlled to some level. I say its good because comments encourage discussion and in turn this can increase the popularity of your blog. So thumbs up for do-follow :) Do follow can be a damned if you do, damned if you dont. Everyone likes people commenting on the articles they write. One way to get new comments is using the do follow.

If your using wordpress make sure you install Askimet, this plugin will eliminate much of the spam from automated blogging programs, also look out for the occasional "I found your post very interesting and have similar views myself", spammers are getting smarter so my thoughts are keep dofollow's it can only do your site good, so giving a link away is your way of saying thanks for the free content.
