It seems a lot of people have switched over to ‘do follow’.

Back in the day before spam protection, Wordpress put in a ‘no follow’ code to all the links. This was so spammers wouldn’t benefit from spamming your blog and, therefore, wouldn’t spam you. Didn’t stop them, did it? They still got the visitors, which seems to be mostly all they cared about.

So now that we have the wonderful Akismet plugin, there’s really no reason for this ‘no follow’ tag anymore. Most people are installing plugins to remove it from their Wordpress completely. I have just installed it to this blog, as well. People are even going as far as to put up ‘You Comment, I Follow‘ banners on their site to let their visitors know how much they appreciate their comments.
