1000 posts on blogs for $200 means 20 cents for 1 post.

If I was about to buy their “service”, I’d ask them:

1) Do these 1000 blogs have different C-Class IP?
2) How can you achieve so low cost per post?

I think that after answering these questions, you’d avoid buying such “services”.

No-one (even Indians!) can work for 20 cents per post. If the post is relevant and valuable, then it is necessary to read the topic, others’ comments and leave a senseful message. Is this possible for 20 cents? No.

TO JACK: i think, you’re really right… the NOFOLLOW tag was created to kill spams but in reality it didn’t.

so, the very good thing to do is not to set back the NOFOLLOW thing because it doesn’t really works against spams, but to control your comments by your own making it sure that the comments drop, whether from someone selling comment links or from spammers, as long as the comment is relevant and do not link to bad neighborhood.

however, just like what you’ve said, Google go against the selling of links because it affects their search result, so it would be scary too if we’ll employ the DOFOLLOW into a blog because Google might punish blogs with it.

Personally I think way and I mean way to much is being made over this. Some bloggers in the dofollow community are actually talking about going back to adding nofollow over this. That is just plain stupid. The way I feel is simple is a person comments in my blogs, the comment is relevant and on topic and the link does not go to some �bad thing� and otherwise complies with my comment policy I am fine with it. Who actually wrote the comment and what the �intent� was means absolutely nothing to me only that it meets the rules of my personal comment policy.

Everyone needs to realize that this is nothing but the latest topic du jour and just have a beer and rock on with life. Basically those saying nofollow is the solution to this are saying,

Comment spam gave birth to rel=�nofollow�, people realized it did nothing to solve the problem and screwed over posters. So the do-follow movement occurred which has led to people comment spamming, which means we might as well use nofollow again, which did not work in the first place.

Sound like a circle of insanity? There�s a reason, it is!

The simple facts are if the comments are relevant to your blog, who cares if the poster or the guy who hired him gets some link juice? Anyone who does can�t see the forest for the trees! The reality is comments make your blog better; they improve your search traffic as well.

I believe all they hype around this is being swelled underground by Google because they hate the dofollow movement! They are trying to kill any paid links or any links a user can easily create or hire someone else to create. Why? Because they can�t fix their own algorithms, that�s why.

This �war on paid links� has nothing to do with quality and everything to do with money, don�t be fooled and stop worrying. The Internet has done fine for a long time now and it keeps getting better, like us or not SEOs are a big part of why
