Comments on: The I Follow “Movement” http://randaclay.com/blogging/the-i-follow-movement/ Design, Marketing, Blogging, Branding and all things Creative Sun, 27 Jul 2008 00:47:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: IT Liberty http://randaclay.com/blogging/the-i-follow-movement/#comment-5480 IT Liberty Tue, 29 Apr 2008 03:12:41 +0000 http://randaclay.com/archives/the-i-follow-movement#comment-5480 I have always found that allowing the "follow" gives more people incentive to leave a comment. As you mention in another post, however, it sometimes does cause others to take advantage and not want to leave actual legit comment. This puts respectable people in a serious dilemma. I created a few blogs, one of my first being about <a href="http://www.winebynine.com">Choosing Wine</a>. I allowed follow and submitted a posting that the nofollow was turned off. I received tons of "cool site" or "I love wine" comments with advertisements as names. So do you decline the comment or live up to the principle and allow the comment with follow. Notice how I got my link in and created a statement while leaving my alias with my legit business name. People it is here for a reason to help but dont abuse it. Thanks Randa!
