Hurdle in "Say No to NoFollow" In New Blogger

This is my first post for Blogging tips and tricks As we know all weblogs and site are valued by search Engines. Links are the king Costing in Search Engine.

What is NOFOLLOW
NoFollow is an attribute that tells Search Engine Bot whether to Crawl the link on the page or not.

Where it is used??
In Blogger, see blog html code Where there is a link, this attribute is used.

Why NoFollow is used??
The New Blogger have added a feature NoFollow attribute into the template to prevent hyperlinks in the Comments section from being followed by search Engine. This is to discourage spammers from posting spam comments in blogger blog.

Why DoFollow then??
DoFollow is simply opposite of NoFollow.
Blogosphere assume that Commentators should be rewarded for there great opinion.
so this will simply allow the backlink to commentator.

If We Use DOFOLLOW then what about spammers??
Blogger new is really a tweaky one. you can moderate the comment according to your choice.

How to use DOFOLLOW ??
Go to your blog HTML , Expand widget and the nsearch for following code


replace the NoFollow by Dofollow, or simply delete Nofollow.

How to know whether blog is DoFollow supported or not??
People are link hungry so people like to get link by commenting. Some people adviced me that there is a firefox addon to indicate Dofollow one. Or some peoples mention it.

What is Hurdle??
As we are using blogger new - Google service , we are logged in automatically to our blogger profile and while commenting we comment via our profile. So link as author url come to be some blogger profile url. this increases link for blogger.(already have plenty links)

Solution :
Always Sellect "Other" optin while Commenting and Enter the desired name and Url.
Annonymous post can be moderated later.
