I think this would be a nice interactive feature. Would it be possible to receive a notification email that a comment has been posted to an article? I think this would be a nice interactive feature.

Therefore authors get a high value link and commentors get an active link with the rel=nofollow for now. The commentors still get relevant traffic for their link and they get an opportunity to participate in the discussion of the article they are commenting on and commentors get a chance to get the attention of the author who will most likely read their comments. Keith,

While it is good news that there is a new way to link build, I feel that this will be abused by those black hat SEOers. By removing the rel=nofollow from links on comments and allowing all users to leave comments I think that this will subtract value from the link in the article and give people less of an incentive to actually write articles, when they can get a one way link of equal value by leaving a short comment. I hope this doesn't happen, but I fear this will I am not 100% sure this is a good idea.
