I Follow

NoFollow is an HTML attribute that can be attached to a hyperlink. When present this tag effectively tells search engines not to allow the link to get any credit when ranking in their index. It typically looks like this ..

< rel =" “nofollow”" href="”http://www.w3.org“">

Google announced in 2005 that links using this tag would also not have an influence on the link target’s PageRank - and MSN and Yahoo followed Google’s lead. The intention was to prevent comment spams from being crawled by its search engine.

The NoFollow link attribute (rel=”nofollow”) was originally created to block search engines from following links in blog comments, due to the amount of blog comment spamming. Problem is, spammers still spam.
