Robert says "Some wars can't be won. We've spent a week wrestling with Google's stance on nofollowing advertising and what actions we should take. What I've decided to do is share some of our instant messages over the past few days." Funny stuff!

LOL...as if I needed visions of TWO of you guys in tighty-whities.

I think you made me throw up in my mouth a little again...

I never realized how petulant I was until I read what Robert put together. Now I feel bad for him...(uh huh, right.) ;)

So now if the Hollywood comedy writers go on strike we have a new double team that can cross the picket lines :)

As I said on the site, that was one of the funniest posts I've ever read!

Stoney - the fact you have a picture of you in tighty-whities to offer is somewhat scary. :)

* advertisers are like asbestos... leave em alone and they are fine... you start messing with them too much and you get problems. :-) *

That may be the best take away from the whole thing.. And yes, it was great to see the decision making process in action.. Jennifer reminds me a lot of my wife.. It's why I spent the last 20 years perfecting saying "yes dear"..

Fabulous post, despite the depressing reason behind it.  Thanks for the belly laughs.

This is freakin hilarious! Rob you need to give Jenn a payrise for keeping you on the not-so-straight and narrow.

BWAHAHAHA!  Loved it!

Sadly, it accurately reflects many people's current discussions in light of this recent movement on G's part.

Well, there is an upside - now folks will be able to start trackign all those links and defining traffic volumes/debunking myths around which ads perform better on their sites for advertisers.

Who knew that surrendering to Google could be so funny? It is hilarious but sad since the decision has to be no follow. Good for Robert and Jenn for making a sad situation better and their solid teamwork.  Shake it off and go forward guys, because at some point the no follow crap being passed off as guidelines is going to come back and bite Google in the ass.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I think it should be made law that all IMs between these guys should be made public.
