Web masters are being pushed a little too far with all the rules and regulations. There need to be finer methods defined for filtering out spam.

They hold a lot of power of the web at present.

And I agree with what you have written it seems wrong to introduce a separate attribute to foil spammers who are trying to play google. Why can’t we just get on and create content? I assume that is why most people leave wordpress untouched.

I think link spaming could become more of a problem, as free blogs people create on wordpress.com or blogger get abandoned and they don’t bother to review the comments that get subsequently posted. So any spam that slips though doesn’t get picked up. I had a suggestion for wordpress regarding this.

Google claims that they do not crawl NoFollow links:

http://groups.google.com/group/Google_Webmaster_Help-Indexing/browse_thread/thread/c5a52187d1f8f6e1/c8a9c671bf43aa19?lnk=gst&q=&rnum=22#c8a9c671bf43aa19

My guess is that not all search engines treat the NoFollow attribute the same way, so some may still crawl the link.

I used to get loads of spam – but because I’ve included no follow tags in my blog section I know longer get quite as many junk responses.

Not only do I get this stuff sent to my blog, but also to my website. We started filtering everything submitted on our blog and site due to this and other problems. And now are working on the captcha type system that Joel mentions: There is just too many submissions that are legitimate to handle without some automation.

Thank you OCC;

However, I also set up a captcha system (where the commenter has to enter a string displayed in an image to prove they’re a human and not an automated system posting spam), and that has all but eliminated my comment spam altogether.
