From Movable Type.
Movable Type ‘nofollow’ plugin
01.18.2005
Today we are pleased to announce our full support for the rel=”nofollow” attribute to hyperlinks introduced to address the main cause of weblog spam: the payoff of higher placement in search engine results.
This initiative, with announced support from Google, Yahoo, MSN (and surely more to come), will direct search engines to ignore links with this attribute set for the purposes of spidering or increasing search engine relevance or ranking.
I just installed this plug-in. And it makes me feel all giddy inside, like I’m ruining the fun of comment spammers. Which is an idea that I love. It’s a delicious feeling. My advice to you, if you use MT, go out and get the plug-in, so you, too, can ruin the fun of the spammers. It’s us vs. them, troops.
“It’s us vs. them, troops.” and i HATE them.
I am just so glad to be able to post, delayed of course 😉 I love it when technology can make you giddy.
i hate them too, fee.
i am so happy to have comments back, as well. it was lonely when they were down.
But… but… If it weren’t for the spammers, I’d have no comments on my blog… Now I have to come up with CONTENT and WORDS and stuff…
content? what’s that?
that is not at all true, thomas… i’ve seen your blog comments.
