Ana:

Here is how I see it, and it is quite similar to Dwayne. Now before I make anyone faceplant their keyboard…it’s just my lil ole opinion!
As for the “deserving” factor, I feel that goes to the blog owner. In this instance..you. Whether your blog is do or no follow I will comment because of the information and knowledge you bring to the table. You should be rewaded for the hard work you put into your posts.
I will also comment no follow blogs due to the value of the content provided. I look at commenting as yes, ways to build links, but more importantly a way to engage fellow bloggers and interact with the community.
The bottom line is that spammers have made blog practices change and that has to be addressed whether we like it or not. So, in order for your blog to sustain it’s stength and growth, you have to implement some of hose changed practices…we all know that and even eventually HOPE to have to change our own blogs to do the same.
I would comment your blog if it was do follow, no follow, shot fireworks, crashed my computer, or whatever! The value of your content can not be ignored and that deserves my almighty comment!! LOL…

I totally understand your frustration! This is why I think engaging others is of the utmost importance. Once you engage your readers, the traffic naturally follows. I firmly believe it’s people first, search engines second.
Thanks for your comment!

thank you for your kind words. I know exactly what you mean with no follow up. It feels very “anonymous” and if I take the time to kudo your post or add value, I would hope someone would follow up with me!

Sathish from TechieMania techiemania.com December 28, 2010 at 11:24 pm: Hi Ana, I usually comment in some high traffic blogs mainly for my link building campaign. But whenever I find an article which gives more values to the readers I don’t worry about the Nofollow, dofollow thing. I just post a comment to appreciate the author. The later is the reason that I am commenting here.
