Almost all blog platforms by default are set up so that a "dead end" piece of code is inserted wherever there is a link in a comment, so that search engines will not "count" the link as they are crawling the internet. This was originally designed to help stop comment spam, but it doesn't work. What it does is remove some of the incentive your readers contribute to your site by commenting on your posts.What can you do about it?
Turn off "nofollow". Show your commenters that you appreciate them. Spread the link love.

How to turn off "nofollow" in Blogger Beta?
Login to Blogger. Go to layout > EditHTML. Check Expand Widget Templates.
Remove the codes highlighted in red and Save Template.
<a expr:href='data:comment.authorUrl' rel='nofollow'><data:comment.author/></a>
<a expr:href='data:backlink.url' rel='nofollow'><data:backlink.title/></a>
<a expr:href='data:backlink.url' rel='nofollow'><data:backlink.title/></a>
Turning off the "nofollow" on blog comments has become a sort of "movement". Well, if we're going to have a movement, we should have something to show our readers that we're part of it, don't you think?
Randa Clay has created some little "I Follow" logos that would work well for a sidebar, and if you've written a post letting your readers know that you've turned off nofollow in your comments, you could link the logo to that post.
Alternately you can use the CSS code given below which can be edited to fit in with your site.
U COMMENT
I FOLLOW
<div style="background-color: #FFFFFF; width: 123px; height: 52px;"><br /><div style="background-color: #B8EA65; float: right; width: 118px; height: 20px; color: #000000; font: bold 15px arial; padding-top: 3px; margin: 2px 2px 0px 2px; text-align: center;">U COMMENT</div><br /><div style="background-color: #000000; float: right; width: 118px; height: 20px; color: #FFFFFF; font: bold 15px arial; padding-top: 3px; margin: 2px; text-align: center;">I FOLLOW</div></div>

Many bloggers use comment love plugins or do follow links to get people to comment. If you want to grow the volume of comments it is the best way to do it. Some bloggers worry by creating no follow links you will get spam but there are plenty of spam protection plugins you can add to prevent this.
