We went Do Follow and we use Comment and Keyword Luv. The catch is that we require a useful 20 word comment. Its part of what I call Scratch My Back Marketing. The commenter leaves useful comments (our scratch) and we provide use anchor text Do Follow links (their scratch.) This approach has worked very well for us.

We appreciate the benefit that commenters provide and we gladly reward them. It’s all about win/win marketing.

Great blog!

I like the notion that those who share their knowledge or inspire communication and learning through questions are rewarded so I am pleased with this new development!

@David – If that was meant for me “You will probably be on the dofollow search engines within half an hour ” then I don’t intend to test the threshold right away. Also I would prefer to have a good dofollow link to be up there so that the few people around who do follow it literally don’t end up following it for last time.

@David – I am aware of that If it becomes a problem, I’ll just up the threshhold, therefore further rewarding those like your self that’s hanging around and making it ever harder for spammers.

@ Cory – lol probably. If Google does change their minds, it’s a one click un-install too

Great plugin – can’t wait to see how long it takes for Google to change their mind again (see James’ earlier post).

The whole thing is just a game. They roll the dice to get an advantage and then it is our turn…. over & over again.

To answer the question of Matt Cutts using dofollow on his links… when pigs fly.

Ok. The dofollow thingy is tempting enough for me to start commenting. Even though I have started reading your blog recently I don’t have something concrete to say at the moment. But hopefully you won’t delete the comment as I plan to become a “trusted user”. I hope I used slightly more brain cells in constructing this stupid comment then the threshold you have set and that itself should make this comment pass through.

It would be cool if Matt Cutts used the plugin

The question is will Matt Cutts start following his comment links?

Also how long before Google decide to chage their mind again?

PR sculpting is a thing on which my head has swirled for a long. I am still inconclusive about that, but i am a strong votary of rewarding people who consistently chip in with their good comments with dofollow, after all they work for that buck right?Its also a win-win game.BTW welcome back to the dofollow mode.
