Marcus: Google has proposed a way of fighting comment spam: have weblogging software automatically add rel="nofollow" to any reader-contributed links. Google will simply ignore these links when indexing, which makes it pointless for the comment spammers as they won't get any Google juice. (Via).
Marcus:
For one moment I thought this would break W3C validation, but no - should be fine. So generally speaking, a great idea that certainly won't make the problem worse.
Dave:
Does this mean that anything we post to doesn't get google ranking from us?
