Thanks for stopping by. No follow is kinda a 'dead' topic, nothing new has happened since but my views still remain. Credit should be given where credit is due and that includes credit for your blog commenters because they are adding content to your blog.There are ways to turn it off though. Esp in WordPress.

I don't know about other blog apps (since the only apps that I've ever used are Blogger and WordPress), but for WordPress, there is a plugin to disable the nofollow attribute, i.e. the dofollow plugin by Denis de Bernardy at http://www.semiologic.com/projects/dofollow/.About the RSS-to-website script that you mentioned, yea, it is really mean. And you're right about that 'gajah and kancil' saying, this war between black-hat SEOs, page generator users, and their kind vis a vis Google and other major search engines, is hurting many legitimate online business owners. I've seen people saying in some webmaster/marketing forums that their websites dissapear from Google or Yahoo, even though they've follow the rule - sometimes it is quite scary, like hundreds of pages dissapear overnight, ouch!Btw, it seems that your Indonesian is better then my English, lol. I wonder where did you learn that language? Hi Lynette,

Unfortunately today most blog apps come with the no follow tag and what's worst, I recently came accross a script that will pull other people's RSS feeds to put on their website and then automatically insert a "no follow" tag on each RSS entry! Now that makes me MAD.Firstly, many bloggers give people liberal use of their feeds and to deny the blogger some linkbacks in despicable. Secondly this is another good example of the 'big guys' doing what they think is right and pretty much imposing it on us. Now... it's being used against us again. Double whammy.I know you will understand this "Bila gajah berperang, si kancil yang susah" :-) feels like that doesn't it? Hey Zaki, good to see you here and thank you for taking time to comment.
