Google has launched an anti-spammer initiative with the "nofollow" anchor tag reference. MT details here. Can we implement this wonderful little doohicky here in Munuviana?

Posted by Daniel at January 19, 2005 02:39 PMThe Google boost is minimal. Spammers get a big boost because they are putting thousands and thousands of links out.
In any case though, how many people are really posting links in other folks comments? I get a decent number of comments but very very few have hyperlinks in them. It might be different for me because I'm not a poli or mil blogger I guess.
