I am glad to see more bloggers being a part of the do follow list. I am also included in this list.

I think this is a great plugin, I didn't even realize that there was a "nofollow" tag until recently.

It's expected to get both quality and non-quality comments. When I turned off NOFOLLOW for my blog though, I've gotten mostly quality comments, with only 2 that I can think of that are most likely there just for the link. I still don't get very many comments but it's definitely increased from 1 comment a month :P

It's more like an experiment to see if viewers comment just for the links.
The idea is to encourage them to comment knowing that they get something in return. I was hoping to get some quality comments, not just "I just commented. thanks for the link!" kind of comments :)

I do use the top commentators plugin. You can see it in the left sidebar.
Thank you for your comment. :)

Great way to encourage people to comment and be active, as well as giving back to those who are already active.

You might also consider adding a "top commentators" plugin =)

Welcome to the NOFOLLOW movement! and thanks for the link-back: :P

Thanks for the link love :)

I think removing the nofollow attribute in comments is the right thing to do. It is only fair that you reward your readers for taking the time to comment on your blog.

As long as you have Akismet installed, than you shouldn't have any problems with spam.
