Andrew Shotland (Local SEO) VERY-polity rips the CRAP out of YouTube’s SEO wireframe. This is a fun read (’cause it’s always fun to dis’ Google?) :)

I wouldn’t say I ripped the crap out of YouTube.  More like exposed their insane nofollow strategy, which upon close inspection does not seem that insane.  It’s actually a very strategic, creative use of the tag.  IMO this is the kind of stuff that separates the SEO men from the boys (or women from the girls if that’s your thing).Thanks for the sphinn though Marty.

YouTube’s use of nofollows is a way to let the market figure out which videos/channels deserve to be ranked.
