I am not entirely sure this would work. Abandoned blogs continue to be
plagued by 'nofollowed' comment-bound links, which means that you might mix
ham with spam.
I sometimes wonder how 'nofollowed' links affect scores, if at all. Isn't
the idea of introducing rel="nofollow" a little daunting to a mediocre Web
designer/dev.? Does everyone have to think in terms of PageRank when
designing or composing articles? Is it not the equivalent of crossing out
citation text in the bibliography section? Is banishment the
cyber-equivalent to bookburning?
