You’ll also need to check your comments page in your template, Janrafi.

So I guess those SEO types who tell us to only link to quality and relevant links are talking through their hats (white or black).

Hi Bloke, I found this in-depth article over at SEOMoz:

Search engines cannot afford to remove all pages that are linked to by spam pages for precisely this reason - intelligent spammers point their links to themselves, their competition and their community. It would take significant effort to reveal which pages are spam and which are natural, which is exactly the point of these more modern, sophisticated artificial link schemes.

It’s something that I’ve often pondered myself.

Will “dofollow” blog comments linking to irrelevant or poorly ranked blogs end up hurting our pagerank?

Hmm, I hope not. I’m really not sure myself and there doesn’t seem to be a lot of discussion out there about it.

Only time will tell I suppose. Let me know if you find any more information will you please?

Thanks Doug.

I honestly don’t believe a single point he’s made, Bloke. Since I moderate my comments and verify the source, I do a good job of keeping the spammers out and having great conversations with my readers. They deserve credit for those conversations!

I think you’re similar to me, we don’t just write on our blog, we like to engage! That means we pay attention to the comments – not simply letting them run amuck.

By the way Doug, what do you think about this article:

Do you believe removing “nofollow” leeches our pagerank? I would be interested in your opinion on that.
