I can see clearly that advertising your camcorder sales site on a dating site is (or gag dating site) is inappropriate. But on the other hand these indiscriminate spammers have created such a sensitivity that it is difficult to discuss a site that you really believe in, in related and appropriate forums.

Haha these are some really neat pictures.

I’m not sure why anyone would want to live in a shack if they could stay here for free.

Why is it that “no follow” tagged links appear in Yahoo site explorer as valid inlinks, if they are not supposed to be?

Hey I read this post about captchas and I put one on my site: http://www.cjeschke.com. It is just a box that you click that says I’m not a spam bot. Will that work? Please email me with your answer.

I want to sell links on my website, but I don’t want to fall foul of Google. The link brokerage system I used automatically places the links on the site so I can’t stick in a nofollow. If I surround the ad unit with will that work?

I just read an article stating you said at the “SMX Broadcast June 2nd 2009″ that Google is now ignoring the nofollow tag. That it will now index and count Page Rank to all pages regardless of whether or not there is a nofollow attribute. Is that true?

I think that comments should always be no follow but it won’t keep spammers from commenting.

well like i said before on another blog google should just open up to do follow and anyone who spams should just be penalized and thats the end of it.

You say: “The best-known use for nofollow is blog comment spam…”
But why then not removing totally the link?!
Why does the editor let a spam link to be in its blog.
Can’t Google see it’s crap, why doesn’t it ignores totally pages packed with links?!

GOOGLE nofollow PARADOX:

1) We start from the wide recognized assumption that links on website W1 that show other websites W2, W3, …, WN decrease W1 PageRank.

2) Therefor the webmaster (or seo) of W1 will add nofollow to all links that point out to his website.

3) But also the webmasters of W2, W3, …, WN will consider covinient to do the same thing of step 2 to their websites.

4) In conclusion each website on the internet will become completly isolated with all link pointing toward it being nofollowed and all link pointing out of it being nofollowed.
In this situation a search engine based on link popularity (as Google PageRank) looses all its efficacy because each website is a website that does not increase/decrease anyone’s else websites.

Plz don’t misunderstand me, I love Google, and I think Google is not only a business but the only star remained on teh web against the “evil Monopoly”. Once was Yahoo, but now it’s too weak to fight, if we let the “evil Monopoly” ruling also the web and the servers’ world e we’ll see one day a web full of useless Flash or even worst Silverlight ’silly’ animations.
We’ll se a web with no document.write Javascript funcion because XML can not handle it.
It’s not only important that Google survives, it’s important that goes on being a strong player.
