Goog,Yhoo and MSN against blogspam
 

Seems this time they really are doing something about it - at least that will be the perception of the people that have been crying about it |jester| - Comment spamming is big biz and this wont effect most of the good spammers as they know how to get to the right blogs

Is MSNs blog about the issue

basically Goog, Yahoo and MSN as well as the blog companies will begin supporting a new tag to be put in an outgoing link that will devalue the link in the SE's eyes. rel="nofollow" attribute tag is the tag they are announcing

Too little too late as usual.:(

but a step forward I spose...

Well - it will silence most of the whiners that ran blogs and didnt know how to run the comments area properly

Hehe true..

I never figured out why Google and all allowed their algos to put so much weight on "opinion" sites to start with. Making a blog site into a "trusted source" is like making the national inquirer out to be the most honest newspaper in the world.

It's just not right, and obviously not too intelligent.

If they find a page with the word blog in the title, metas, or first paragraph, they should ignore all the links off that page.

That would solve so many issues!

.. but they own Blogger... and giving them more weight is an easy way to increase their own traffic share and revenue...

Exactly why they had to do it - they own it - as well as MSN and Yahoo owning their own now
Here's the other blog co. that went in with them on this collaboration
