By default search engines will not follow the links contained in blogger / blogspot account comments. The concept is called NoFollow and came about as a result of comment spammers who were trying to increase the number of backlinks to their sites. I recently discovered that a number of bloggers have decided to make their blogs DoFollow blogs through the use of a wordpress plugin known as DoFollow
This can also be done to your Blogger / Blogspot account by following these simple steps:
1) Go to your Account Dashboard and click Manage: Layout
2) Click Edit HTML
3) Click the checkbox labeled "Expand Widget Templates"
4) Hit Ctrl-F and search for: rel='nofollow'
The first result will be the line:
a expr:href='data:comment.authorUrl' rel='nofollow'
Simply delete the rel='nofollow' portion so that the line now looks like:
a expr:href='data:comment.authorUrl'
This will turn on search engine following of the links in an author's name which is determined by the website specified when a user makes a comment.
5) Search for the next occurance of rel='nofollow' and the result will be:
a expr:href='data:backlink.url' rel='nofollow'
Again, simply delete the portion that specifies nofollow so that the line now appears like:
a expr:href='data:backlink.url'
This enables search engine following of all back links to your post. Give and receive my friends!
Once you have completed this save your changes and congratulations your Blogger / Blogspot account is now DoFollow!

What if your blog site does not show the "nofollow" script text? Does that indicate that the script is hidden (I can see the HTML code), or that the "nofollow" code is not being used on that site? Is there a way to test if the "nofollow" code is in effect?

This is good news for me! Wonderfull!! I will provide a link in my sidebar.
What is your impression after having DOFOLLOW on your blog? Did the number of comments increase or what?
I believe in blogger, however, that this cannot be done to the default blogger templates. You need to download a user created template and make the changes there for it to work. Also, for folks on wordpress, I would recommend not using the dofollow widget . . . instead go into the code and remove the tags yourself. Widgets will just slow down your page loading time, and finding the nofollow tags are really easy!
Nice work man..keep it up.
That's good news ^^
I have a Wordpress blog and I will see how I can remove that nofollow soon.
Thanks for sharing!
