why so much nofollow?

By Lifted on 6/9/2009 8:47:11 AM , Rating: 1

Any reason DailyTech uses nofollow links on just about every external link? DT is basically getting all of its material from these other sites, yet you go out of your way to make the links nofollow. Is this selfishness or some form of SEO I don't know about?

Maybe I'm just not "in the know", but can someone tell me what a "nofollow" link is? (I guess I can just google it, but what the heck, I figure I'd ask.)

Wow, so quick to mod me down. Conspiracy?

I only asked a question, didn't make any judgments. <shrug>

Coherent sentences would have helped a bit.
Conspiracy? Wow - you really think that post was the important?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow

"nofollow is an HTML attribute value used to instruct some search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link target's ranking in the search engine's index. It is intended to reduce the effectiveness of certain types of search engine spam, thereby improving the quality of search engine results and preventing spamdexing from occurring."

Not sure about that

'Intel released the P4 AMD released the AMD64, while the 64 was a good chip it did not quite match up to the Intel and that was the story for quite some time, even I would spend the Extra just to have the Intel.'

What's that about? Combine it with the grainy picture at the top of the page and I've suddenly lost all faith in that website's reviewing ability, and I've not even started reading the proper review yet.

Also, nice bit of shameless advertising here:

Yea no doubt. One of the few moments in history that AMD had an edge and its misreported by a self proclaimed Intel Fanboy.

Too bad there isn't a non-bias review site that states facts only. Let the reader draw their own conclusions.
