Linking with “NoFollow”
Richard Miller had a great post about including rel="nofollow" into anchor tags so that you can link to a site without helping their Google Juice.
I probably should have known that, but didn’t. It would have been perfect for my recent post on a local phishing scam. Although it would have made very little difference, I didn’t want to link to a fraudulent site for fear of increasing its PageRank.

I believe that more important than increasing their pagerank you should be concerned with your site linking to a bad site. That’s more likely to hurt you than it is to increase their pagerank.

Zawodny just posted something on nofollow; it’s another perspective. i recently posted on Splogs and Spings — a related topic. There was a fascinating study done at The University of Maryland and I summarize their study, as well as add some of my thoughts. Splog research is a fascinating area.

Also use rel=’nofollow’ on links to sites that are unrelated to your sites content, otherwise Google will punnish you for linking to unrelated sites..
