You may or may not be aware of Google, Yahoo and MSN teaming up to combat comment spam. If you’ve got a blog, take a look at what would be required to add the “rel=nofollow” to any visitor-enabled features. I’ve looked into it for my blog, I use pMachine, and I’ve decided not to comply. Not because it’s not a good idea — it is — but for two reasons:
1. You still get the stupid spam, it just won’t be used by search engines. The fact that it even exists on my blog annoys the hell out of me.
2. If it works, spammers will stop spamming and/or find another avenue to do so and having the “rel=nofollow” link will only be insurance.
