- masklinn 15y agoIt does not, a/@rel=nofollow has nothing to do with it, the only thing Google says it will do with these is break searchrank credit transference, and Google themselves recommends to set this attribute: > anywhere that users can add links by themselves, including within comments, trackbacks, and referrer lists http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/01/preventing-comment-spam.html http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/01/preventing-comment-sp... In fact, Google created this attribute specifically and solely to combat comment/user spam. If Google decided to expand the role of @rel="nofollow" as a gigantic "fuck you" to everybody that's a different issue, but the article still is not right.
