Nofollow nightmare
I think its rather ridiculous that Google can influence how websites choose to link to each. I guess Google is synonymous with Internet nowadays.
The problem was not the nofollow!
Hi Jason,
The problem was not having a nofollow in the author section of the profile. That's been there for a very long time. The problem was that Twitter removed clickability functions in the Bio part of the profile; hence, killing all links that were do follow.
Here is more reading: Was Twitter coerced by Google?
coercion
Well it,s very interesting but can anyone really coerce anyone else into doing something if it doesn,t benefit them,im sure there must have been some benefit to twitter.
Google has been using the
Google has been using the excuse of the "nofollow" tag to protect their self-interest. Nothing wrong with protecting their corporate greed, BUT they should be with everyone. Unfortunately they are not, because the little guys are the ones getting penalized or coerced while the big brands can get away with so many things that violate their TOS.
There are many examples to cite that this thread will be small to have all them.
Media Campaign for Equity
I'm interested in reaching social network websites who are interested in trading equity for a $10,000,000 media campaign.
One more thing
If you want to play with the big boys... and twitter obviously does... one needs to play the game. Don't tell me that there was no benefit for twitter from this decision. For one, this decision will increase the google page rank of their internal pages, and help them actually rank better with Google. Twitter might even get a few listings? I see it as a first step toward optimizing their website to capture a greater amount of traffic from Google. This, in turn, will help the twitterees, including Ms. Hoffman, who actually may have their profile pages rank higher and have more value. Page Rank is usually overvalued in my opinion anyway.
twitter nofollow
Matt Cutts does have power. Like it or not, Google does dominate the web. They control/allow people to go to "where they want to go." Usually, this works exceedingly well, but Google must make decisions on how they want to work with entities and how they want entities to interact with them. Who can argue with a monopoly?
Don't We All
Whether we like it or not, we’re all at the mercy of Google to some degree. Therefore, we have to dance to the music played. Don’t we all do this? At least those that want to survive online do.
