Listening to the radio and reading this website has made me ask myself how abstract and strange everything really is, do we really want the likes of this, Perhaps even so the business characteristics of the world has really ended up spinning out of control.

What a relief to discover a page that may be ultimately really worth reading! I’ve been seeking all-around about this topic but men and women just put rubbish posts, or brief meaningless posts. I have seen a couple vids on youtube but it’s now the same as reading a good post. Great job!

The official claim is that links with the rel=nofollow attribute do not influence the search engine rankings of the target page. In addition to Google, Yahoo and MSN also support the rel=nofollow attribute.

i think it helps indexing

Links to blogs are actually not allowed on Wikipedia, according to the following WP policy pages:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:External_Links
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability

Whenever I see a link to a blog, I remove it immediately, no questions asked. The only exception would be a notable person’s official blog, if the link was included in the article about this person.

Noooo! Hehe. That’s ok, I only have two links on Wikipedia that’s not helping much in terms of traffic anyway.

That’s good news for Wikipedia editors like myself who have to check and clean spammy links!

If your link is good, then people will click naturally.

Prior to this, I never thought of having link from wikipedia will help in terms of SEO, as obviously it is wide open from abuse.
