Thanks Will for the NoFollow Comment Spam Prevention thread. I downloaded the Wordpress plugin which implements the nofollow stuff. Now that should definitelly work. Googleblog, Yahoo! Search and MSN Search Blog discuss the effects of the rel =”nofollow” tag on individual links.
“From now on, when Google sees the attribute (rel=”nofollow”) on hyperlinks, those links won’t get any credit when we rank websites in our search results. This isn’t a negative vote for the site where the comment was posted; it’s just a way to make sure that spammers get no benefit from abusing public areas like blog comments, trackbacks, and referrer lists.”
All the blog owners should unite and install this NoFollow plugin for wordpress. Here is Movable Type ‘nofollow’ plugin.
