Just my opinion but there you have it. It's your site, so I don't really care what you do with it. But, stuff like that does affect my desire to return to the site.

So the incentive to readers of commenting for a traffic increase (on popular blogs) is still there. If someone really said something interesting then it would be worth Googling their name, or copying and pasting their web address to find out more. If the extra effort required to actually copy and paste the web address is too much then I suspect that the comment was really not of that much interest.

That way, readers can easily click onto websites of people that interest them, but there are no search engine perks for the link.
