Major Search Engines are believed to introduce a series of link descriptor tags to complement (or replace) the well know rel=”nofollow” tag introduced to curb misuse of linking efforts.
According to a recent post , nofollow has been found to fall short of the original objectives. Google YAHOO!, Ask (and perhaps) MSN are planning to introduce a new line of link descriptors that will be used to provide more information on why the link should not be followed.
The hypothetical new link descriptors are:
- noclue – to be used when the linkee clearly has no idea what they’re talking about
- noporn – to be used on links suitable for children (all other links will dissapear when safe search is switched on)
- nopawn – to be used as a virtual middle finger when linking to obvious linkbait
- nofee – to be used when you’re linking as a favour but receiving no actual cash
- nocheques – to be used when you’re asking for cash in hand or uninvoiced paypal transfer
- nopay – to be used when they should have paid you but haven’t
- nochoice – to be used if linking to dubious sites …
- noulteriormotive – to be used when you are linking because its a good site
- nowinnofee – to be used by affiliates when linking to lawyers
- nowayjose – to be used when the site is in a language you don’t speak
- nocomment – to be used for automated comment spam links
- nolikee – to be used when linking to a perfectly good site owned by someone you have a personal dislike for
- nofollow – to be used on all other occasions
