First of all, we need to understand the value of back links. Backlinks will give significant value towards page rank calculation which will give more exposure in google search. Here is an example of backlinks value for a page rank 5 blog.
http://ncsdt.com – Page Rank 5
http://ncsdt/2008 – Page Rank 4
http://ncsdt.com/2008/07 – Page Rank 3
http://ncsdt.com/2008/07/04 – Page Rank 2
http://ncsdt.com/2008/07/04/PageRank.html – Page Rank 1
So, if you get a dofollow link from a blog post or comments that have page rank 5 blog, you only get backlink from a page worth of PR1. Imagine of getting a backlink from PR 4 or lower PR blogs. If you want to get backlinks, try your best to get from the main page sidebars dofollow links. You can find a lot of blogs giving dofollow links for “Top Droppers”, “Top Commentators”, “Recent Droppers” and “Recent Commentators” which you don’t have to pay and you can get it from your own effort. You can also exchange links with others.
I’m not saying that a dofollow blog post links or commenting on dofollow blogs does not give impact on your page rank. I’m trying to clarify the density and value of your dofollow backlinks here. The higher page rank dofollow link on main page side bars will have more contribution towards your page rank than dofollow blog comments or blog posts.
Accumulation of higher or lower dofollow backlinks is good and will reflect on next update. Make sure you don’t purchase any backlinks with dofollow or sell any links with dofollow as you might lose all the effort and get zero page rank penalty.

Hi,
I submitted a comment. Did it go to spam?
From the looks of the Ajax Edit plugin, I guess my previous comment was lost. I’ll try again some other time. It was rather long and detailed.
Good info!
Thanks.

you’re right! to post one comment is not all. if you try to post lots of comments and you get the top commentator you earn a dofollow link.

Very informative, thank you. I’m very new to “do follow” and I’m hoping I don’t get too much spam. I would imagine to avoid this I should moderate all comments. I don’t know how to find page ranks though, but I’ll do some researching.
