Who will win the Dave Pasternack contest?
The deadline for the Dave Pasternack contest is about 2 weeks away. A look at Google today reveals the following rankings:
Wikipedia now placing rel=”nofollow” on links to external sites
Wikipedia is now plpacing rel=”nofollow” on links to external sites. It’s interesting to see that the impetus for this change is from a recently announced SEO contest, where the top winner who can optimize for the phrase “globalwarming awareness2007″ wins a car.
I like this move. In fact, I thought this move is long overdue.  But, it’s better late than never. Even though not all spiders observe the rel=”nofollow” directive, the important ones do, and that should be enough to limit spam in Wikipedia.
