Do you find that your blog is starting to attract a lot of spammers, but you still want to find a way to reward the legitimate commentators on your site? That can be quite the tough balance to achieve, but it is possible.

If you choose to add the “dofollow” attribute to all commentator links, you could attract too many spammers. Go with the default “nofollow” attribute and the real people leaving comments don’t get that advantage. So, maybe you want to try the Link Love plugin and get the best of both worlds.

In short, the WordPress plugin will count the number of approved comments left by each visitor (based on the provided email address). When that author reaches a certain comment threshold, his or her links then gain the dofollow attribute. Prior to that threshold, the links have the default nofollow attribute.
