In the early days of blogging, any link in comments on a blog post would be indexed and followed by the search engines - giving the sites being linked to a search engine ranking boost.Unfortunately, this led to a huge amount of SPAM and nasty comments being posted.So came the NOFOLLOW tag for blogs.
