Is your Blog "Link Lite"?

February 1, 2007 By Lyndon Antcliff

Rob Watts has taken the decision to remove the “no-follow” tag from his blog. After reading about what Andy Beal and Andy Beard were up to.

Brilliant idea.

What is the point of the “no-follow”? It does not stop comment spam so lets get rid of it and reward people who make comments.

I manage my comments, so I don’t need a disincentive. I want people to comment and I want them to be rewarded with a proper like instead of this “link lite” crap.

I will be removing the no follow, so in future you will get a nice, meaty link back to your blog. Hey, as Jason Calacanis says, “everybody has got to eat”.

OK, I don’t know where to start with the removal so it may take a day or two.
