I don’t worry so much about Spam as long as you don’t go register and list your blog everywhere as a dofollow but just enable it so for your readers.

This is what I did on mine, and my readers are even happier, and I don’t get so much spam too.

Thanks for the link love :) If you are concerned about spam, I know Wordpress has an anti-spam function that seems to work for my do-follow acquaintances.

It is ture that fewer outgoing links and therefore less “link bleed”, leading to better Google page rank. A little sweetener goes a long way, and I really appreciate blogs that do this. But I believe people should be rewarded some credit in return for their contributions. Thanks Chris!

David- I’d say you have two options if you dislike strong anchor text in the name field. 1) Clearly state your rules and if people violate it than mark it as spam. or 2) install the commentluv plugin so people can still get their anchor text and still you their name.

Yay for linklove. I think that this is a great idea for you, as a SEO guru, to let folks participate in some easy link building
