Join the Dofollow movement on your own blog, and others will follow.</p>
<p>As you probably know, the biggest purveyors of blogging software and blog hosting, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/">Blogger</a> and <a href="http://wordpress.com/">WordPress</a>, to name two, added a little think called a nofollow tag to links in their comments in hopes that killing the link juice from commenting blogs would disuade spammers from filling up everyone&#8217;s comments with crap links. Well it didn&#8217;t work too well, and in the process killed the joy of appropriately commenting blogs.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the <a href="http://www.semiologic.com/software/wp-tweaks/dofollow/">WordPress dofollow plugin</a>, to get you started if you use WordPress. If  you are on Blogger, check out the <a href="http://webstractions.blogspot.com/2007/05/removing-nofollow-from-blogger-styled.html">instructions for defeating nofollow in the new Blogger</a>. If you are on the old blogger, sorry, you are screwed (but we always were).</p>
<p>Then, to start making new dofollow friends, check out this <a href="http://www.dofollowblogs.com/">dofollow blogs directory</a>, and add your link. Sure, you will get spam comments, but you already do. Suck it up!</p>
