I receive comments on my site along with back-links to the commentators' sites. Normally, I don't approve such comments. Now I am thinking of approving them but with nofollow attributes attached to the back-links. Is there any way that when I approve comments the back-links get converted into no follow?

I have my site on wordpress platform.

    You can set that up, but nofollow links still allow PR to flow out of your page, it just does not get passed on to their page. The more links you have on a page, the weaker every link is, including your internal links.

    There is zero reason to allow links in the comments, except in the very rare case where there is a discussion and someone links to another source to make their point.

    Another option is use Facebook iframe comment code, that way external links won't really be an issue.

      That can work well too.

      Some people like Disqus too, but I've found that to be slow as hell, and having to create another account will often discourage people from participating. Facebook comments is a better way to go, IMO.

    Comments on the site can give the backlinks some site wont accept each and every comment so they have to wait for the approval of the comment and its a good process where they can avoid the spammers and good content are confirmed.
