Blogspam works, but only in large quantities
Dave Davies did some research on whether nofollow links still pass some linkjuice, and as it turns out (which we knew of course) it does, a bit... So, for your blogspam to be useful, you have to do it in very very large quantities :)

I'm guessing a multiplier of 0.1 of 0.05 which states that you should be spamming 10 times as hard.

Maybe large quantities are needed because the pagerank of most of the article page on a blog is low.
I try it nevertheless...

I'd have to disagree Buy Your Site, in general BLOGs have great pageranks. 1) People tend to link to them 2) If a blogger is updating his BLOG constantly the page count grows quickly which gives good internal linking of setup correctly.
The main reason is the nofollow tag, also keep in mind if there isn't a no follow tag the more external links on a page the more that rank is divided to the linked sites. Cheers.

@Vancouver Island Daryl,
Well so there is still hope :-)
This was the first time i have red about the no-follow tag and after some checking I've found out that many sites use it. Shocking!
by Joost de Valk on 2 July, 2007 at 20:26
Hehe Buy your site, the way people use them is different too. Check back on this post in a few days, and all the nofollows will be gone... It's just there so I have the chance to clean up spam.

Normally all the WordPress installation has now the nofollow build in. Is sometimes a good way to protect yourself. The new trend is changing, that means some of the biggest SEO bloggers have change their policy and now they removed the nofollow attributes.

I did Cristina, links are only nofollowed for a few days so I can remove spam :)

Hi Joost, so how do you do it with the nofollow, do you have a plugin or do you do it by hand?
Dat zou toch wel en beetje lastig zijn, of niet?

So Dave, for a newbie like me, how do u explain that in laymans term?
by Buy Your Site on 1 May, 2008 at 09:57
Hey Joost,
You said that the no-follow tags would be gone after a few day's. That was 10 months ago, but the no-follow stayed. Changed your mind?
seasons greetings,

No follow does add some link weight, especially in Yahoo...the links are acknowledged often
