Claudia, you are dofollow, a 3rd party app (NoDoFollow) says you’re dofollow, but the source does say nofollow, this is very interesting- we’ll add it to the punch card and see what’s really happening- something is conflicting.

Jay/jack – Yes I also looked at the source code and it does seem as if links in this comment stream are no-followed. Completely agree that getting a backlink should not be the reason to leave comments. (But I do think I read that AG offers this as a benefit from joining / participating in its network? This may have changed though).

Claudia –

According to the page source code, your link here is no-followed. But hopefully people are leaving comments to share, and learn and engage, not to get a back link. (and I don’t want to hijack Jack’s thread with a blog commenting for back links debate. Suffice it to say commenting for back links is the last reason people should be commenting on any blog, IMO.)

@Claudia the tool is somewhat inconsistent with how it reports follow/no-follow. It is great at showing anchor text though.

Thanks for pointing out backlink checker – a very useful resource. (I did notice that Agent Genius comments seemed to be no followed even if made when logged in … not sure if that is a glitch with the tool though)

I have been following this series Jack because it has me shaking my head each time. Jay is another guy who always makes me think… so seeing behind his curtain is interesting.

Keep up the great work, and I look forward to really contributing to the discussion one day.
