Regarding the Blogroll

Thu, 2006-10-26 04:13 — Arancaytar

Hello. Nick's given my administrative access to this site since he does not have the time to maintain it for the moment.

The Blog Roll is currently in a sorry state, not having been updated for what is likely over a year now.

However, Nick has advised me that Blog Rolls may harm the search engine rankings of its members, as the search engine interpret the network as a link farm.

I am currently looking at ways to avoid this - such as adding "rel=nofollow" attributes to the links to make the search engines ignore them - or alternative ways to centralize our blogs without blogrolls - such as a central aggregator that collects all our RSS feeds.

For now, the blog roll is defunct until further notice. Note that even if it does eventually get reinstituted, it will probably not be hosted on blogrolling.com anymore.

The blog roll will be disabled on this site, and should be removed from member blogs until there is an alternative solution for it.

Sorry for this incovenience and the disappointment.

Edit: I'm unsticking this and Nick's earlier post to make room on the list.
