rel="nofollow"

Ask.com ignores rel="nofollow". Why?

Because they want to... rel="nofollow" is a google idea.

I guess ask.com think the same as i do.
If you don't want a link to be followed don't put it on your page.
If you don't want user posted links to be followed don't allow users to post links.

I agree. If you are linking with the site having no follow tag then it is useless. You are not going to step ahead in link building but you will be wasting your time.

This is the dumbest thing I've seen anyone say here in a while.
If you're link building, YOU don't add the attribute to your tag. It's added automatically by the site you post to.

As for the OP, like meman said, it's Google's idea and Ask aren't going to be influenced by them if they can help it. I for one think it's a good idea - props to Ozzu and BWM for using it.

Thanks for this advice mate

I notice that i have this link on one of my websites and
i thought that it had to do with the spiders that crawled
my website

Cheers

search engines will index no follow links but they will not consider them while evaluating the backlinks for PR

Great post.

It can be true that if links are useless for your then why you are putting them to your sites.

Thanks

Hi,

No.. I don't think so because once I watch one Google representative Matt Cutt's video and he clearly said that Google doesn't pass PR juice from no-follow links.

yep, but I think it's little bit useful to prevent spam because people whose aim is just to get backlinks avoid to make comment on nofollow blogs or forums.
