I saw the post at the Google Blog about the 'nofollow' attribute and initially I did not think much of it. I am not seeing any spam on my blogs, so I really did not care.
But today I get a phone call from my business partner (and this is the reason we are in business together) and he says "we have to do a podcast about Dave Winer's 'nofollow' tag thing". Obviously I say why? He quickly says to me that it is going to ruin many great blogs when it comes to the search engines.
That is all that he would say. But knowing that he is one of the top SEO's in the country, I took his word for it and prepared myself for this exciiting podcast.
So we did the podcast and he explained to me and to all why the 'nofollow' attribute created by Dave Winer (and asked for by the SE's) is not going to be good for the big-time blogger (and soon to be podcasters). I agree with him, knowing what I know about how SE's work, this could certainly ruin much of the work that many bloggers have put into creating their outgoing links and gathering incoming links.
I am curious to know what you think of the whole thing. We did the podcast and you can listen to you. Go find my show, The Miller Report, and give it a listen.
