It’s really an expected shame because “do follow” really helps honest webmasters and bloggers, but of course… like everything else net related… the spammers flood in.

Spammers ruin life for everyone (but themselves). It’s bad that you had to go to all the work to delete the comment spam. It’s bad that every link needs to be “no follow” to somewhat discourage the spammers (though in my experience they continue to post comment spam and forum spam even if the links are no-follow).

I, too, hope that Google stops penalizing you and let’s you get back to normal (minus the spam).

Yes, you have taken a good step, what about those who wants to contribute good information on your blog, i think they should get a decent link atleast. So, if you check that before approval, it would be good than removing do follow tag.

I thought that the comments should be approved if they make any sense and are closed to the topic of the post.

Well, spamming is a thing that every meets when it comes to moderating blogs, forums….

That is good to hear that you went through all the comments to clear out the spam. Hopefully there will be less and less of it actually coming.

I’m not sure if google thought this would create a frenzy of “no follow” links or not when they instituted this. However, most people believe that if you link out to others your website will lose power. But thats not true . Google likes people linking out to others.

Ouch, that must’ve hurt. Google has the grace of an elephant when it comes to this sort of things. I hope you’ll get back your SERP’s
