I just realised that I haven’t removed nofollow from my blog comments on this site so as of today, I’m proud to announce that all links out of this site will be dofollow (its going to take some time to go through every post but I promise to get onto it).

Why have I chosen to do this? Well as nofollow is no longer a method of containing and redistributing link juice within a site (instead the juice evaporates which is not good for anyone) I’ve decided to let the juice flow where it may.

This also means that I’m going to come down extra hard on people who try and post spammy comments. I must get 100 comments a day that say ‘good post’ with a spammy link. Even if your comment is worth while, if I find your link to be spammy i.e. NOT YOUR REAL NAME then I will edit your comment and remove your link and try and put your real name in.

You have been warned!

So, because of this re-purposing of link juice and the complete ineffectiveness of nofollow in retaining juice within a site I ENCOURAGE ALL WEBMASTERS TO REMOVE NOFOLLOW FROM YOUR ASSETS and instead pay more attention to managing bad comments and spam.
