You know, if there were any.

I’m fairly confident that nofollow has had zero effect on comment and trackback spam, but it probably has had an effect on commenting patterns. More here. It seems to me if you can post a useful comment on someones blog, a little bit of link-love back isn’t much to ask.

So, if anyone ever comments on my blog, you can have some of my mighty PR4 linking-ability right back. Unless it’s spam. Which won’t get through.
