The sneaky nofollow tag

nofollow The sneaky nofollow tag
Many people use the nofollow tag in the a href tag to in hopes of linking to a site without giving out search engine "juice". This concept of course distorts the web as it is an option to "link" without "linking". My view is that it is a bad idea for any purpose.

It is a lazy mans way to avoid "comment" spam and is completely ineffective as well.

Many use a firefox plug in that highlights link anchor text when it has the nofollow tag attached. That means seeing the nofollow links easy when surfing. Just surf and you see them. You can tell who is trying to game the system with nofollow.

But some are sneaker. They use a silent all inclusive nofollow tag for the enter web page rather than individual links and the firefox plugin doesn't highlight anything.

Now, I can't stand Technorati, but they get a regular link as I don't do nofollows this blog.

Now if you examine the links there they are are normal. Nope, to the contrary they all are nofollowed. Technorati sneaks in a global nofollow for all links on the page:
