Well, a few months back I disabled DoFollow with the overwhelming comment spam. I still had the Top Commentators plugin to benefit from this site’s page rank, however disabling DoFollow apparently did not help, in fact it made things worse, now instead of a single spam comment targeting a keyword, (mostly long-tail which made it look worse) I’d get multiple comments in order to get to the ‘Top Commentators’ list.
While it’s unfortunate that I have to do this (there were occasional ‘substance’ in the comments even though they were marketing a keyword), I think it will benefit the site and filter out the spammers, give the site a better SEO value overall, and keep things clean.
