nofollowA few weeks ago we polled you guys asking if Google should retire the nofollow attribute.

With over 300 responses in, I wanted to share the results.

  • 54% said no, do not retire it
  • 38% said yes, retire it
  • 8% were unsure

Nofollow Attribute To Retire

Disclaimer: Please see my poll disclaimer post before coming to any conclusions on these results.

Forum discussion continued at WebmasterWorld.

This post was pre-written and scheduled to be posted today. FYI, I am offline today, so if Google does a Penguin update - I won't get to it until Monday.
