Movable Type 'nofollow' plugin

January 18, 2005 at 09:05 PM

Movable Type has officially added support for the rel="nofollow" attribute for anchor tags through a plugin. I don't plan on implementing it here on this site, I don't mind sharing a little PageRank with others. I'm sure many of the sites I frequent will implement it though, meaning my PageRank is probably going to plummet.

Hopefully, enough of the most popular weblogs put in to place and put an end to all this damn comment spam.

The only way to kill comment spam is if EVERY blog does this.

I agree Chris, but I just don't really see this as the best solution. I think it's perfectly valid for legit commenters on this site and others to receive PageRank for it. Seems like it's letting the spammers win to me.
