I appreciate that the nofollow tag was invented to stop people like me doing what im doing but what is the difference between me doing it for a company instead of them doing it themselves? I am adding a relevant comment on the blog post and adding to the discussion. I think that this deserves a followed link!

What i am a bit unclear on is the anchor text. When the link is nofollowed does the anchor text still count?
