I would think it's pretty common that news sites don't nofollow links (indeed, a quick scan of some other Atlantic pages says they don't).
If they don't do it normally, why would they do it especially if the point is to advertise Scientology?
- sandofsky 14y agoWithout nofollow, the Atlantic is effectively telling Google that the links in this paid advertisement are as authoritative as their organic links by objective journalists. Deliberate or not, I think it conflicts with Google's feelings about paid link placement.
