Christmas Present: (No)follow Me

« 2006 Finale: Alexa Top 10K | Main | Revenue Giveaway Change »

Who doesn't like spam, raise your hand! I love spammers. I'm sure you love them, too. Come on, admit it. They are such nice fun-loving people, making the Internet and the Web so much better with every new spam link, every new "article", every new .info or domain, every new erection-aiding medicine, acne treatment, and breast enhancement email they send us. This love is not unrequited, one-sided love, either. These people love us all, too. They love Simpy, as well, of course. They love to make it better while trying to use it for self-promotion and promotion of their ads-laden health-info, make-money-from-blogs, and other fun sites. They love to work it to help their PageRank.

It's a holiday season, everyone is in good spirits, and they say this is the season of giving, so I thought I'd give these friendly folks some more love in the form of rel="nofollow" attached to all of their (and everyone else's) links on Simpy. This means no more link love for spammers (but also for non-spammers) as soon as the next push hits the live servers. Happy holidays, spammers!

I wonder what Kevin Burton of TailRank thinks about this. He has has blogged about "nofollow" a number of times before.

Are you wondering what this rel="nofollow" is all about? Check this for some relevant pointers.
