Nofollow and Tags

According to one of the interviews we did at SES, nofollow isn't really going to work – largely because it targets dead sites. If once-living pages include the nofollow tag, eventually spammers might stop attacking all of us on the Web. Then, according to one of the panelists we saw, tagging is going to fall victim to spamming soon enough. I (honestly) believe that will happen. One day in the not-so-distant future, wikis will come under spam attack, too. It's all in the name of Search Engine linkage – so, who's to blame? The spammers are just exploiting weaknesses in the system. It's one reason I had to turn off live comments and trackbacks across Lockergnome's channels. I deal with enough spam in my inbox. My feeds, however, are still spam free – and will remain that way from now until the end of time.
