I have personally not looked at Google Page Rank for at least 2 years as far as I am concerned Google visitor growth is much more important to a business that Google PR... @Les – You are correct it should be very interesting to see how this plays out over the next 6 months or so…yeah no did notice!

I wonder if it includes blogs and in particular comment links. The majority of blogs have nofollow as the default on comments and there are an awful lot blogs out there. I was amused to read Matt Cutts when he said he only used nofollow on his RSS feed. Of course, he didn't mention that his comments were all nofollow. He also said we shouldn't go out and nofollow our comments to protect link juice - of course he doesn't follow his own advice. It will be interesting to see what the final wash is on this issue particulalry since it is not new - Google have been ignoring (for page rank) nofollow for over a year now - and no one really noticed! cheers les It’s an interesting statistic.
