It’s New Year’s Day and a particularly aggressive set of spammers have decided to inundate ReadWriteWeb with their fake comments and irrelevant links. In the same way that military strikes like the Tet Offensive and Yom Kippur War of 1973 were launched on national holidays, so too was our latest spam comment attack. The belief is that holidays create vulnerability. However, this battle to put a link on the site actually does nothing for your Google ranking. Don’t believe me? Click “view source” or “inspect element” and you’ll see that your link is accompanied by rel=”nofollow”. In other words, we’re telling Google to ignore you. So now that that’s settled you can stop your attack and go relax with your families. Happy New Year dumb-dumbs!
