Do Nofollow Links On Comments Affect SEO Blogs?
Assalamualaikum! After all this time I was off from writing because of a rather "hard" illness and offline work, finally thank God, on this occasion I was able to initiate a presence in the online world and could post again. I want to answer the question about "whether the nofollow link in the comment still affects SEO, especially for the web / blog where the link was planted?"
---

As long as a comment is relevant, it becomes a good value, both for SEO blogs and for readers. Comments are "extension" spaces, where a post / article can be expanded and deepened into the discussion, discussed, and clarified if there are things that have not been totally represented. We as bloggers are certainly very familiar with the term spam comments; comments that are not relevant, and usually contain links planted with promotional and SEO purposes.
Spammers usually plant links in comments with the aim of increasing the number of backlinks, and ultimately the goal leads to efforts to rank websites / blogs on Google search engines, both the ranking of the main page and internal pages.
The comments feature provided by various leading blogging platforms and websites such as Blogger, WordPress, TypePad, etc. automatically has been added nofollow attribute on each link in the comment, both the commentator's name and the comment content.
Effects of Nofollow Links in Blog Comments
As I said above, if you use the blogging platforms that have been mentioned, then your blog comment room is safe from spam links, because the rel = "nofollow" attribute is essentially Inform the search engines that a link does not need to be followed or should not be counted as a "vote" for the backlinks of your website / blog. Thus, the backlink will not affect the ranking of websites on Google.
Thus, no matter how many nofollow backlinks in a website / blog page, including in comments, will not have the effect of ranking forwarding to those backlinks. So, because it has no effect, your blog page is safe from spam stamps by Google.
But to note is the keyword in the backlink. Because every word that is on your blog is indexed, then the anchor text on the backlink that seems irrelevant, vulgar, off-topic, and not in accordance with your blog is equally indexed. Therefore, even though the blog is safe from spam links because it is in the form of nofollow, you still have to do it scanning against the possibility of spam links that anchor text can damage the blog content.
Effects on Website / Blog Commentators
In the eyes of Google, the link in the comments does not necessarily become a negative thing, especially if in the form of nofollow. So the effect can not be interpreted as bad for SEO. On the other hand, because in the form of nofollow, the link also does not have a positive effect on SERP on Google, because the link is ignored by the indexer. That is, the effect is more to the reader, and the meaning of the spam link here can be interpreted as spam to the blog (as a promotional medium) and the reader (targeted promotion), which is done improperly (spamming; rubbish).
Some say the nofollow link still has an effect on SERP even though it is small. In a few posts, I have emphasized that the nofollow link has little effect, at least for visibility (indicating that a website or website page exists, but not in ranking). This applies if it is on the main page section, for example posts, social bookmarking pages and other main page sections. However, so far I have not seen the significance of the nofollow link in the commentary affecting SEO.
But, This is a point that must be considered for my friend who likes to snatch the link in the blog comments. If you spam link very often on comments, in the amount that according to Google is outrageous, then the potential for penalties either banning, deindexed, or decreased ranking can occur. This means that Google still "records" the number of your backlinks even though it is not considered (nofollow, ignored), and if a lot of your backlinks are mostly obtained from the blog comments section and the amount is extraordinary, then the potential for a large penalty. If backlinks in comments are made routinely and in an unnatural way (for example using bots) then the potential for penalties will be even easier to obtain.
This is one proof.
I have several times received requests via the contact form or email which is commonly called "Link Removal Request" by webmasters / bloggers who have just received a warning from Google in the form of "unnatural backlinks"; which is usually delivered via Google Webmaster Tools and email. Knowing this info, webmasters / bloggers will immediately panic. His web / blog suffered a penalty, both light and heavy. There is any info page (for example the backlink loader page) that contains the unnatural backlink. As a result, they panicked and made letters that sounded subtle, but were actually threatening; I was so scared, because inevitably the link had to be removed, and the only blog / web owner could do.
The last road is disavow but certainly far more complicated to do.
I usually get that kind of email with the aim of deleting links on the sosbook that I manage (notabene DoFollow). However, what made me pay special attention was the link removal request email addressed to one of the comments content of this blog, which incidentally is nofollow.

Somewhat annoyed, I then replied in a furious tone, even though I agreed to his request.

This proves that backlinks in the form of nofollow, are still considered by Google in the context of the number and how to get it; more specifically, are backlinks to comments. So the backlink category in the term "unnatural links"doesn't just refer to dofollow backlinks, but includes all backlinks, both dofollow and nofollow backlinks obtained in an unnatural manner and an extraordinary amount.
The Verdict
I hope the brief review above is enough to answer your question about the effects of nofollow links in comments on SEO blogs, both the giver page and the recipient of the backlink. Which can be underlined are:
1. How a link has an effect. To turn off the effect (not to forward link juice), because the link is not expected and does not need to give a "vote", nofollow attribute is very necessary.
2. Another point is caution in bombarding blog comments with links even if it's only nofollow, because the risk is: if the amount is very large, done in a very tight (routine) time, in an unnatural way, the risk of you getting a Google penalty awaits in front eye. Especially if the link is DoFollow, can you imagine the effect?
Have a nice blogging, as always :)
