Hi Angela,
Here's one of my favorite blog posts about comments by Fred Black:
"I've Removed The 'No Follow' Tag from My Blog - You Should Too!"
pqinternet.com/41.htm
He wrote this blog post back in 2007. It now has 105 comments, the most recent one just a month ago, which is pretty amazing for just one blog post.
I also wrote a new post about getting traffic from blog comments this week. Maybe you'll find it valuable.

Thanks!

P.S. Examiner.com does not allow links in comments, so I had to break the links to send my comment to you. It's also probably why you haven't received any comments yet.
Got something to say?
