MSN Search Ignores the rel=”nofollow” command
Recently I was checking out some sites I have given links to from some of my personal sites. A few I had used rel=”nofollow” on which is supposed to tell spiders to not follow a link. Part of this is to help link spam like in blog comments so you are not pirated for your page rank by spammers.
In any event I found myself being shown as a back link on MSN Search. Both Google and Yahoo appeared to respect the nofollow tag but not MSN. I will post more about this as I dig deeper just for right now it is clear doing a rel=”nofollow” doesn’t seem to effect msn search,
