If somebody has something worthwhile to say about your product or article to help promote it then I think people should be rewarded with a link back. I think the moderators should approve all the comments before they are added to a site. Then they can manually check for spam and approve the comments as well as read the comments that people have added. I think the dofollow is important.

No it wouldn't. There are plenty of ways to "promote" your website. But spamming your links into blogs like mine is not the way. I have <em>no</em> obligation to host your link. I will do so at my discretion and at my whim. If someone posts a link in their comment that I don't like, for whatever reason, I have no qualms about deleting the comment, flagging it as spam, or simply leaving the content of the comment, but deleting the link, as I've done to you. My blog. My rules. As arbitrary as I care to make them. Nyah. Anyhow, if you want to "promote" a commercial site, there are plenty of options. One obvious one would be to buy some links from an ad service like Google AdWords, Text Link Ads, or any number of other ad networks. If your site is non-commercial, then simply participating in relevant community site discussions in an intelligent, non-spammy way will generally do the trick. I don't come to your house and spraypaint my company's logo on your wall, do I? “It would be impossible to promote our websites if everyone used no follow attributes.”
