]]> Comment on The Next Evolution of Social Media… by New York Cable Guru http://seolutions.net/blog/the-next-evolution-of-social-media/comment-page-1/#comment-940 New York Cable Guru Fri, 11 Sep 2009 21:11:12 +0000 http://seolutions.net/blog/the-next-evolution-of-social-media/#comment-940 I have to agree with Michael. You see it with any medium or technology over time: fragmentation. The transition from mass to segmented communications doesn't happen over night, but it does inevitably happen. As stated above, this could be seen as some form of "social media segregation," but it's actually more of an evolution than anything. It benefits visitors and audiences because as they have more specialized interests and desires, different sites will cater to them with more specialized content. It's still early in the game for social media (the Gartner Hype Cycle may be a good indication of what the future holds), so let's see what happens. I have to agree with Michael.

We just have to keep adapting I guess. Thanks for the nofollow info, it seems that the Google guys are just going to keep tweaking things in the desire to be presenting the best search results.

You're never quite sure how genuine people are and often they are too lazy to even write more than two words. I have a couple of dofollow blogs and most of the time I'm not sure if people have even read the post because they end up saying things that have nothing to do with what I have written.

I'm going to do the opposite that Bill is doing. I'm going to remove the nofollows I used on internal pages. The page sculpting effect I was going for using a nofollow was to preserve the link juice on the source pages PR. For Bill's purpose Matt Cutts says "nofollow'ed links are dropped out of our link graph; we don't even use such links for discovery." So it may protect interior pages he does not want follorwd. (I would also block it in the robots.txt) But for my purpose, I was just using it to save link juice on my source pages. Now the dofollow and nofollow will both subtract the same link juice from my source pages so it matters not. This is particularly interesting. I’m going to do the opposite that Bill is doing.

If not, then it most certainly will in the near future. Nofollow is being abused to the point where its effectiveness has been lost on many sites. Unfortunately I had to add nofollow to my forum, which was being beaten up by link spammers. Still, they continue their onslaught of spam. Nofollowing internal links is still good. I don't really do it to preserve PR, but to make every attempt to keep my submit pages out of the SE's index. This is where spam bots harvest URLs and assemble their list of victims. Good, bad, or otherwise, my nofollowed internal links will remain. I personally believe nofollow must pass some PR. If not, then it most certainly will in the near future.

Drugs are illegal, but drug use is still rife. Spam has been "outlawed" by nofollow, but it too is still rife. Nofollow has failed in stopping spam. For this, it should not be allowed to persist and have the damaging PR-concentration effect that it does :) Nofollow is like the war on drugs – totally flawed.
