Nofollow is destroying the love between websites. If website A knows about nofollow, he will always add nofollow on any outbound link towards website B. And if website B also knows about nofollow, in return he will add nofollow to all outbound links towards website A.

I agree that we shouldn’t be making our websites FOR Google. However as they send me close on 98% of all traffic (based in South Africa) why bother with the rest.

It kind of makes me think of all the mailing systems and word processing programs that have been forced into saving for Microsoft word/Express/Outlook. Why should they be forced to work in that format? Because it IS the standard (despite not being standard).

I cannot argue that this is a good thing however. Google could choose to change it up again - at any point or even scrap it altogether.

There was a time when people were crazy at PR but thoughts are changing now. I visit many forum and blogs a day and i can feel that thoughts. I could find threads about “when Google PR will Occur” and Blah, Blah but now people says “it is just a green bar”.

Thanks for the link Adam. If you got some time to spare, come over to my blog and read my post about third level push (don’t miss the comments). I published that post I think a day or two before Matt Cutts’ interview about internal nofollow on SEOmoz. It was mentioned later in an SEOmoz interview of Matt Simmonds, an SEO from NYT. That and Dan’s posts I think are worth a read. That said, I agree that internal nofollow should not be high up on anyone’s todo list. It was a big deal a year ago when people were fixated on supplemental results and desperately looking for a silver bullet.
