Saying farewell to a great opportunity
The Guardian used to have wonderful blogs on their site. They were frequently updated, covered plenty of topics, received an enormous amount of traffic, had many active visitors commenting… The best part about those blogs was the absense of nofollow on signature links, thus making the blogs really good for comment spamming cost-effective, easy and fast link acquisition.
Well, they’re not that good any more. Recently, the blogs have been redesigned and it is no longer possible to add a URL to a signature. Sad isn’t it.
I wonder how it will affect the number of commenters?
