A while ago I read a post in Andy Beards Blog about how most blog’s platforms have “nofollow” set as standard for comments and trackbacks.

What this means is that there is a tag added to the link code which tells Google not to send a spider to index the destination of the link. So while a reader can follow the link, Google doesn’t give the target site any PR credit, like it does with ordinary links.

This feature was originally implemented to stop comment spam.

Part of the fun in blogging and the value of a website is the injection of view-points and ideas from many different sources. While nofollow does help a little with spam prevention, it also stifles a lot of other commentary.
