		<description>@SEONews - Thanks...I didn&#039;t know that.  I started using FireFox last week so I am still learning it.

I changed to FireFox when I noticed that 87% of my readers use FireFox and so I tried it and noticed that my blog looked different in FireFox than it did in IE7.  I now am smart enough to look at it through both if I make a major change and I almost have all the compatibility bugs worked out.

I will check out that &quot;extension&quot; this weekend.  I am new to these...might make a good post?</description>

		<description>Nice article on Dofollow, I&#039;ve seen a ton of blogs myself that advertise for dofollow that were in fact nofollow. 

If you get the SEO for Firefox extension, it actually highlights Nofollow links in bright red so you can&#039;t miss them. This will make it easier for you and your readers to spot nofollow links.

		<description>HI Bill,

Sorry if I misunderstood you. I think I wouldn&#039;t made the wrong assumption if you gave me some links to those scammers. Perhaps we could make a page called Dofollow Scammers report that point our fingers at all those cheaters and let everyone know they are not worth visiting.

However, I hope the inactive of Dofollow plugin is just a mistake due to lack of technical knowledge. Comment spam is an issue with blogging already, now comment scam is another issue will cause us to loose some more faith.

Actually #2 you are totally right now I can see. Building PR by commenting on Dofollow is only ethical if the comments are related to the blog post. For the recorde, a comment on big blog like Johnchow.com or Problogger.com could bring more visitors because they have over 15,000 readers, and that&#039;s proven by many blog posts. However, that&#039;s another issue: comment spam on nofollow but popular blogs.

You are doing well over here and I like your work. Let&#039;s keep in touch.</description>

		<description>Binh....you are making some assumptions yourself...not all of the dofollow plugins work like you mention above.  I think you are referring to the Link Love but again it doesn&#039;t much matter.  

The article isn&#039;t about the DoFollow plugin....the point was that a lot of blogs that claim to be DoFollow...aren&#039;t.  I contacted both site owners that I found the DoFollow inactive on, BOTH of which I comment on regularly, so any predefined number of comments set would have long since been satisfied.

As far as your comment on #2....I don&#039;t get your point.  I never said not to comment on PR0 blogs, my point was that many bloggers think they can just spam a bunch of comments out there and this is how they build page rank.

Many novice bloggers think a DoFollow blog comment is somehow better than a NoFollow and that is simply not true, depending on the site.</description>

		<description>LOL... Laughing Out Loud!

You are making a wrong assumption because.
1. The dofollow plugin (or any similar kind) remove the nofollow attribute after the commenter leave a predefined number of comments on the blog. For that, if you leave only one comment that&#039;s counted as not loyal and your link will have nofollow. Normally the blog which use dofollow plugin would have some terms in their comment policy stating how many comments are needed to lift the limit.

2. PageRank 0? Now it&#039;s PR 0 but who know on the next PR update the blog you comment on have PR 4+ and their individual post have PR2 or 3? After all the comment should be relevant to their blog posts so that they will keep the links for you. And if everyone have the attitude to only comment on higher PR blogs than can the new blogs grow? Afterall, does it mean the big fish eat the smaller fish in the blogosphere too? As new bloggers have to comment on the bigger blogs but not vice versa?

		<description>i also come up lot of blogs with PR 0 
i guess they are bringing more attraction by featuring as no follow tag 

but anyways i feel , commenting should not be done for sake of getting a PR juice
