Would that make them lesser targets for link spammers?

Hosted blog solutions like blogger and wordpress are a great way to promote your sites. If they use nofollow links then it would be a little harder to seo a site.

Well, I have not got it either... Even don't know why but I thought about posts. If you talking about comments, what's the big deal then? I don't think that links in the comments influence your PR any way...

doesnt it count as an inbound link if it can be followed by the spiders?

anyway, the reason for this is i saw a product being marketed called commenthut. what it does is help you find high PR blogger and wordpress blogs that you can add your own comments to manually. now why would they sell this when Nik said the NOFOLLOW attribute was already implemented years ago?

honestly i didnt know about this myself, only when i saw that product and decided to check if the comments in blogs are spiderable and would count as an inbound link.

nofollow links are spidered only by Google (Yahoo pretends that they are not there) but yet they wont help you with SERPs or pagerank. So in general there is nothing you can get from nofollow links.

Nikolas,

Can you / Do you have a blogger section in the forums?  Not to blog, but for exclusive reviews and tools.  It would be really nice to have one tool to shoot your blog out to several networking sites at once.  Maybe even something to update one feed and it automactically updates all the feeds.  I will eventually create several social accounts to use.

I don't know how reliable this site is but it has a PR7 and it's basically a search engine exclusive to blogs and rss feeds - http://www.icerocket.com/


I'm going to play around with wordpress and blogger to start.  I have a website I want to put up that is just a personal site to catalog some of the music I've written (piano and keyboard), downloads, etc over the last 10-15 years to share with people - friends, family, whoever and of course a bogger section to go with it... for the day to day stuff.     

Keep up the good work.  This site is really awesome.

Graham

Graham I am not sure what you are proposing here. We have a place in each member's profile where you can add your feed, and this way webdigity will help you with your blog's exposure. Do you mean that?

Regarding icerocket we get some traffic from there, but not too much.

he wants to publish his stories to one bigger RSS feed like on web2announcer.com, people will join a mixed feed much faster than a feed from one blog

I don't think that would work.

I mean how would you use that feed afterwards? All the permanent links will direct to different sites. Is that legal? But even if it is how this feed would help?

Planet php is an aggregator of relevant sites. In our case there is not a common subject.

So I guess this would be just a spam site. Right?
