The Pain of Follow/NoFollow

Ah, the art of getting links. Hard isn't it? Especially with all the spam filters websites and search engines are putting on the internet. The most annoying is the Google idea of Follow/NoFollow.

For those of you that are not up on the NoFollow tag, its basically a piece of code that literally says "NoFollow". This piece of code instructs Google and other search engines to completly ignore this link. NoFollow is great for spammers, but makes life difficult for real webmasters to perform any kind of SEO.

More websites use this feature then you might think. Wikipedia, social media sites, blogs, etc. all use the NoFollow tag whenever someone posts a link, regardless of how related that link is.

Go ahead, use either "View Page Source" or a Fire-Fox addon like DoNoFollow and see how many of your links fall under the NoFollow realm. Each and everyday it seems like more people are using the NoFollow tag and every website you find that has a DoFollow link seems to have a Pagerank of 0.

Once again Spammers have ruined the internet!
