tonite read about "no follow" tags (google op sys blogspot post re why ppl link to wkp had a cmmt mentioning their use of no follow - I guess it was much discussed - they were using it and people objected bcs this means the sites linked to wld not get any boost in pagerank though it wld be appropriate - anyway I gather that now wkp has stopped using no follow and instead just a black out list of urls, as way to guard against link spamming ~ spamdexing)

I'd seen no follow tags (and not know what meant) in html when cut & pasted links from ...
dlcs ? yes.

and google results too I think.

so I guess that makes sense that those should not contribute to page rank? ~ ~ being marked on dlcs is perhaps sth that shld contribute but I suppose not as heavily as a link elsewhere, I dunno...
