It’s an interesting argument and very subjective topic, a bit of a taboo subject really. I’m new to personal blogging and want to generate a community of readers that might be interested in what I have to say. I won’t write pointless blogs and have no commercial agenda to adhere to, so my blogs will be just that, my blogs. If it interests me and I think it could interest my readers, I’ll write about it. I’m sure many of my blogs will not interest everyone, but you might find that the odd one is right up your street.
I want my readers / followers to feel valued and to be honest, of the millions of blogs out there, if someone chooses to read and better still comment on my blog, why would I not want to thank them for it? I don’t have time to go through and e-mail a thanks to all my readers and an ‘auto generate e-mail’ is about as personal as a speeding ticket. I think the best way to say thanks is to allow the link juice to flow around the web and that’s why if you take the time to comment on any of my posts, I’ll allow the link to your website to follow. I know there are millions of spammers out there who like to prey on the likes of me, but if you comment in a spammy way, I’ll simply remove your comment. It’s pretty easy really, so to all those spammers out there, don’t waste your time, because I will just delete you comments. If you are responding on behalf of a business or a commercial entity, that’s fine, I really don’t mind and appreciate your interaction, but if it’s spammy, it’ll be in the bin!
So if you like what you read and want to comment, you can do in the knowledge that my way of saying thanks is to allow the link to follow from your comment. My way of saying thanks to spammers is to remove their comment and waste more of their time than that of mine!
Happy blogging and please do let me know what you think!

My brother and I were just debating this particular very topic, he’s invariably looking to prove me completely wrong. Your own view on this is wonderful and exactly how I really feel. I recently e-mailed my brother this page to show him your current view. Right after looking over your web site I saved and will be returning to read your updates!
Hi Florence, thanks for reading! It’s a bit of a taboo subject really, but in my opinion so long as a blog is monitored and we all stay away from bad neighbourhoods and obvious spam then I can see no harm!

I’ve never learned so much from any other weblog. Really enjoyed reading your site today
Nice to see you blogging about this good topic.
The difference relating to Do-Follow and No-Follow inbound links may not be important to the standard internet browser, however to webmasters together with web marketers, they’re just a couple of the biggest search terms you will come across. Created in 2005, “NoFollow” is known as a label that can be included in html links to instruct google and yahoo to never count the link towards specific website ranking. Thanks for your post. Very interesting.
Thanks for the advice. Will put it to work. Tom
