Nofollow Attribute

Posted by Eric at 5:19 pm. Filed under: General

If you are getting killed by comment spam, you will want to see what Google, Microsoft and Yahoo have come up with. I’ve not yet figured out how to implement it with WordPress, but figured I would post the link anyway.

In the first cooperative move for nearly ten years, the major search engines have unveiled a new indexing command for web authors that they all recognize, one that they hope will help reduce the link and comment spam that plagues many web sites, especially those run by bloggers.

The new “nofollow” attribute that can be associated with links was originated as an idea by Google several weeks ago and pitched past MSN and Yahoo, as well as major blogging vendors, gaining support.

More explanation on Google’s Blog. This says WordPress has “signed on,” whatever that means, so hopefully the solution will be relatively easy for me to implement here at Blogsome.

Lots of buzz around the blogosphere.
