U Comment I Follow
This is by far the best explanation on the U Comment I Follow movement from Randa Clay Design
Almost all blog platforms by default are set up so that a dead end piece of code is inserted wherever there is a link in a comment, so that search engines will not count the link as they are crawling the internet.
This was originally designed to help stop comment spam, but it doesnt work. What it does is remove some of the incentive for your readers contribute to your site by commenting on your posts.
What can you do about it? Turn off nofollow. Show your commenters that you appreciate them. Spread the link love.
How? Depending on the blog platform you’re on, you can install a plugin (like this one for WordPress), or disable it (see this post if you’re a Moveable Type user), or modify your template (check this site for Blogger tips).
Turning off the nofollow on blog comments has become a sort of movement. Well, if were going to have a movement, we should have something to show our readers that were part of it, dont you think? Ive created some little I Follow logos that would work well for a side bar, and if youve written a post letting your readers know that youve turned off nofollow in your comments, you could link the logo to that post. Ive also set up some quick CSS if youd rather:
Please visit his website to become part of the movement.
And please remember as with everything use it properly and do not spam sites. As I have mentioned before the higher his ranking the higher yours.

This is maybe one of the best things that bloggers can do to raise their comments and the participation of the webmasters, now people can get a link while share they opinions
