Hi Todd, I hope you don’t mind if I don’t change the handle I’ve been using all this time. I never got any complaints about my signature until people started installing dofollow.
I don’t think you will get slapped anymore than a forum would get slapped for allowing links in their signatures. The links are just not valued as much by G. Blatantly selling links in your footer or elsewhere on your site that are followed are what gets you slapped.
Why Google would penalize such blogs? I think it is 100% legit to have do follow attribute and to bless others by sharing link juice. I have 5 blogs and all of them are do follow. Just for that reason I have many loyal users.
Great insights. I was not aware of this. You have nicely described. This information also helps to those who have no idea about it. Thanks for sharing…

August 23rd, 2008 at 8:27 amInteresting point of view. I’ll consider changing my mind about this but for now I still don’t see things the same way you do.
