      I wrote a comment on another blog and now every single time that blog posts an article, it comes up as a nofollow backlink in OpenExplorer. It is really annoying to see when I check for new follow backlinks. I just wrote ONE comment on ONE blog post. How can I stop this? There are at least 10 showing up today! Thanks!

        When in Open Site Explorer, click the first dropdown and select "only follow". That way you won't see any of the NoFollowed links pointing to your URL.

          Yup either what Mike said or email the webmaster and ask for the link to be removed.

          But I mean... does it drive any traffic in?

            No. It is a new blog, I was being friendly. So is every single blog post published from now on going to show up as a nofollow comment? Why, when I just commented on one post?

              Is the comment on each page, or is there a sidebar saying "[You] commented on a post", or something to that effect?

              If the actual comment is on each page, it's something wrong with the site and it'll disappear when the admin corrects it.

              If the other option, then it should also show several other commenters - it shows the latest comments and yours will be removed when enough people comment to push you off of that list.
