Dofollow links on Twitter.
If you use twitter you know it has high PR and bots/spammers have been trying different things lately.
I noticed on twitter that the links on my current is a dofollow link, while anything in the status column is nofollow.
interesting...
I checked the spammer’s pages and couldnt see any dofollow links but maybe there is some hidden page I don’t know about that shows dofollow. One has to wonder, why every outgoing link on twitter is nofollow but one. Did they just miss it or is it intentional? Are people exploiting it?-probably.
This is just a heads up, it will probably eventually become nofollow unless the twitter folk did it intentionally.
Edit: As far as I can tell you only see this dofollow link if you are logged in, but I am not 100% certain on that.
I don’t think that you could get a big up of PR from twitter account page.
@Symbian Yeah you are probably right about that. It just seemed funny to have every link but that one be nofollow.
I really hope that they don’t remover this dofollow link ability, but rather make all the links from your twitter page dofollow. I really can’t understand the point of using nofollow in this way. If you are linking to something in one of your tweets, then they deserve a link, and increase of PR.
Thanks for the comment about twitter on by blog. Ill have to look into this a little more.
take care.
I have seen lots of twitter pages ranking in Google so i think you must get a slight life from the page rank if you have a link to your website on your twitter page.
