Nofollow Tag Abuse

Remove the nofollow in your brain

August 2nd, 2007

It is time to resurrect Barry’s blog post about paddling! He discussed tactics worthy of paddling, number 8 is “If you ‘nofollow’ all outgoing links from your web site then get ready for a paddling.”

More and more I am seeing references (backlinks) to information on my web sites in blog posts and static pages but the backlinks contain the “nofollow” tag!

Come on people! Remove the “nofollow” you have between your commonsense and greed portion of you brain. The next popping sound we here should be your head coming out of your ass! Using information/original content in a positive fashion from someone Else’s web site deserves every bit of recognition you can muster - this includes an uninhibited link!

  • Nofollow abuse is rampant now. Sites which get ALL of their content from other places are using nofollow, like the links are not related.

    I view it as plagiarisms or improper citing of sources. Or even stealing. its ridiculous!

    I just wrote a post, which was a long time commin, about how StumbleUpon and Del.iclo.us abuse nofollow. their sites are entirely made up of links and content from other sites, but they use nofollow on every single freaking thing!

    by the way, nice blog. im adding you to my blogroll on my personal blog now :)
