The NoFollow link attribute (rel=”nofollow”) was originally created to block search engines from following links in blog comments, due to the amount of blog comment spamming.

The theory is that if spammers are spamming in blog comments to get better SEO and anchored links for their sites, NoFollow would render such spam useless.

Problem is, spammers still spam.

Now, NoFollow has been adopted beyond blog comments. Wikipedia is now using NoFollow for external links and Google recommends that paid links use a NoFollow attribute.

1. NoFollow = NoWorky

2. If a blogger moderates comments, there is no need for a NoFollow attribute

3. Since the use of NoFollow in comments on WordPress blogs is defaut

4. NoFollow=NoValue. Why use NoFollow on sites, text ads, and blogs if there is no value in terms of search engine indexing?

5. Linking to someone with a NoFollow attribute is a sign of not trusting them

6. No Follow sucks because the search engines (particularly Google) can’t make up their mind about when and how it should be used

7. No-follow is a poor search engine’s solution to conceal its own failure to rank websites appropriately. What’s next, No-linking?
