I agree, very gutted about this. Ning has long been a big part of my backlinking efforts so to see the text boxes turn nofollow is a great loss to me. I am currently hunting other software platforms that perform in a similar way – anyone have any ideas?

Good luck!

Urban,

What outcome did the Ning “nofollow” development show in your reports?

Also, as SEO in general and “link building” in particular become more and more a part of Marketing and Communication departments/offices, the sweet “dofollow” era will fade away as people’s understandings of the field grow. I’m glad to see that your company is taking steps to insulate itself from the inevitable. I’m doing the same.

Get at me if you want to shoot the breeze about “Neo-SEO” (a term I may have just coined). I may even send you an email.

Peace and happy new year,

Phil

There certainly has been a steady movement of sites that have begun implementing the no follow tags. You invested a lot of time in the 125 different sites, but thankfully there are many places with good page rank that are still do follow. Admin: Comment does not pass our Comment Policy Guidelines

Ning uses nofollow tags? Wow I was not aware of that.. At least for me I will keep using Ning besides the fact they are no follow now. I use it to meet like minded people anyway. Having the advantage of creating my own social group is something I can't pass up. The Reduction of spam is fine by me I prefer it especially when it comes to social media sites.

Shame that Ning no uses nofollow tags. I was big fan of it till today when I saw all the link are nofollow. I know do follow websites and blogs are often suffering from spam (some of mine included) and I was thinking about some dofollow plugin which would give you an option to reward good comments with link juice and obvious advertising with little effort without it. I guess I'll have to check Scratch my back :) Admin: Comment does not pass our Comment Policy Guidelines
