Removing dofollow plugin

The dofollow plugin, about which i had mentioned couple weeks earlier, hasn’t been good for my blog as i see the stats after installing it and having it live for these days.
No am not talking about the plugin features but the main disadvantage i am facing is the number of outbounds per page. It is a good way for people to get backlinks through comments but also think about the quality of posts in Search engines like Google that rate the outbound links from a page as a factor for ranking in their search results.

When i post something interesting, the first day itself i get about 5-10 comments, and so the number of outbounds gets to about 20 in every post page. The number goes on increasing as i get more comments. And the recent comments in the sidebar also has the do-follow which is also responsible for the search engine rankings being hurt for my blog.
Before using the plugin i ranked some good places in Google for few searches, but they disappeared since i am using it.

Extremely sorry for people who just comment here for backlinks, be a regular commenter and i would soon install the top commenters plugin, lot better than this dofollow one.
I am in hunt for organic traffic which can convert to some good subscribers so have to take this step.

Will this be my wise decision?

    So the final suggestion from every one is to use the Top commentors plugin and see who wins the highest commentors race ;)
