Comments on: Google aims to outsmart search tricksters

Company to introduce new controls to prevent people from manipulating search rankings using blogs, other Web pages.

Good move.

Now I'm just waiting to find out Google is developing its own Blog-only search tool, and keeping Blogs seperate from the main search.

That tag has always been there

what is so new about this? I admit I never thought of using it for the blog-control purpose, but this is not new or proprietary to Google from what I can see. I saw that tag included in the first seo tutorials I used.

Also, what about legitimate discussion that leads to use of a link? Many blogs encourage this, and when it is in context it should not necessarily be considered "spamming". I would hope that such commentary could show up in a secondary part of the search page so that comments can be found. Sometimes a blog discussion of a website is more informative than the website itself.

Comments should be moderated....

Comment spam only exists on blogs that do not moderate comments or do not perform regular house keeping chores to delete comment spam. The no follow tag will not be used on such sites...

Such blogs could be considered abandoned and thus of little value to searchers and excluded from Google's database.

Just Moderate it

No follow is really just shady. People are kind enough to post in your blog, so reward them by giving sme link juice.
