John Honeck (JLH) talks about the (possibly) poorly thought out negative consequences of nofollow, and raises a few interesting points about the potential for nofollow to be used as just another search engine exploit. Gotta say I agree with him on this one.

Thanks Dockarl for Sphinning this! My very first Sphinn. I'm glad you liked the idea. Most things start out innocent enough but evolve, I just wonder if we are watching the beginning of something here. The concept that was introduced to help make spam links not influence search engines is being used to influence search engines.

I've been saying this for a long time -- actually, since *before* the nofollow code was released (arguing it as practically the sole dissenter in the WordPress forums).
