Meant to post about this a while ago. I’ve set up the DoFollow plugin, which disables the automatic rel=”nofollow” that WP adds to links to combat comment spamming. Akismet is doing a pretty fine job at catching spam, and I mostly moderate comments anyway, so I’m happy to provide Google Juice to people whose links end up on here :)
You can set DoFollow up to remove the rel=”nofollow” restriction only for comments older than a few days old, so even if spam does get on here, it’d have to stay for a few days before it’d have any effect – it would have been deleted within that time.
If you liked that post, then try these...

I just posted some new Free U Comment I Follow Buttons & Badges on my blog for anyone who wants a dofollow badge that’s a little more Web 2.0
Great post as you have explained the consequences of dofollow very thoroughly. Having said that I intend leaving my blog as a dofollow as I don’t really care what Google thinks of it.
Thanks for the article, Congratulations on dofollow
There just have been too many options for people to choose from. Often, the choices are so many that people end up choosing a web hosting provider that comes to them first. In doing so, they just might not have made the best choice possible.
thank Google juice, more power and continue to help me and other fresh user of blog…
Thanks for sharing this great post.:)
Thank you for the dofollow. I too set all my blogs to dofollow also, it is such a simple way to say thank you for stopping by. As for spam, I would get that anyway as most of what I receive is spam bots anyway. I doubt the bots worry about dofollow or nofollow, as I am sure the links are for random clicks/traffic and not for SEO.
Awesome! I am completely blown away. I don’t know how I ever worked without it.
