“nofollow” vs. “external nofollow”
Today I left my first comment in Matt Cutts blog. Knowing he probably puts a nofollow tag on my comment link, I discovered he uses another attribute called “external nofollow”. I did a little research and realized that this is really another form of nofollow tag that wordpress it.
Now there are a bunch of theories out there calling “external nofollow” better than nofollow but if you are not using wordpress, then you don’t have much to worry about. If you are using wordpress, then you can choose between the two, although they have recommended “external nofollow” over simple “nofollow” tag for better spam fighting.
The interesting find is that Matt Cutts, works for Google, and uses wordpress considering Google owns Blogger and you would think Google wants his top engineers use that instead?
Oh well.
