In this Google Webmaster video, Matt Cutts talks about whether we should allow dofollow comments on our blogs. Allowing dofollow means that any links on our comments will pass page rank to the page that is linked to. Page rank is part of the algorithm that Google uses to determine the ranking of a webpage. Dofollow and nofollow were created to try and stamp out comment spam on the web where a spammer would post thousands of comments with links to their spam sites. It seems from this video Google may not be apply penalties to blogs that have dofollow comments.
