If your logs analysis program shows referrers as hyperlinks, I’d recommend using nofollow on those links. If you have a wiki that anyone on the web can edit, I’d recommend nofollow on those links until you can find a way to trust those links. In general, if you have an application that allows others to add links, web spammers will eventually find your pages and start annoying you.

i think that rage is justified too TheDefier coz imagine you click on something or "get an impression" on some link when actually its "redirecting" you to some other(s) sites..then its obviously against marketing rules..and more over for the similar reasons to avoid "spam" google started digging sites using excessive link exchange for keeping their PRs up
Thanks guys... cleared up some problems. So I shouldn't use nofollow in my posts? Only in the comment section of my blog because that's where user content can be produced?
