Valid until 31 January 2015 (unless noted)

What is dofollow / nofollow? According to wikipedia , NOFOLLOW is an attribute value (in HTML code) that used to instruct some search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link target's ranking in the search engine's index. Nofollow attribute values are most often used on sites with user generated content, like user comments and blogs. The idea of nofollow attribute actually is to preventing spam on comment section.

This idea (nofollow) is contrary with what we (blogger's) want. Many blogger user are hunting blog with dofollow attribute in the comment section. By making your blog comment section DOFOLLOW, it will make visitors more interesting to comment on your blog. Why ??? because the one who make comment on your blog will get FREE BACKLINK from the link that he / she write on comment section.
