NoFollow links have seem to become all the craze lately, much to the dismay of Social Media Marketers and SEO specialists. Many sites are making links NoFollow as webmasters and site administrators are trying to encourage people to provide better content in their posts. A lot of these sites, also provide ample room for user interaction whether in comments sections or via a Social Networking site, and if they do not add in the NoFollow tag, then their pages are spammed with links, which search engines such as Google hate (which is why they force sites such as Wikipedia and Twitter into NoFollow tags so as not to litter the search results page with a bunch of nonsense Tweets)
Digg has become the new site to join the ranks of the NoFollow tag…. sort of. Digg has started adding the NoFollow link to posts that are not popular. Digg has implemented NoFollow links to all its posts aside from those that make it to the home page. Everything else, when you click on the link, rather than take you to that page, it creates what looks like a portal to the site, where you can view the site in its entirety, but with a Digg toolbar and frames.
I am not sure the reason they are implementing this feature to their site, whether it was due to spamming reasons, Google forced them into it or they are just trying to force people to start adding in more relevant data with better content. Whatever the reasons are, I do know that I will be much more focused on getting my information to a main page, so that we do not lose any traffic to our site.
