As I understand it, adding rel="nofollow" to the a=href command results in the link not adding to the linked page's Google ranking.

1. When Freepers link to left-wing sites in comments, we might use rel="nofollow" so that we are not helping out, e.g., nyt, wapo, etc.

2. Could FR's software give us the option to chose a nofollow command when posting articles? Then we could use it or not, depending whether we want to help or not help the posted website's ranking.

3. Considering the left's war on conservative access to the web (e.g., facebook, youtube, and twitter censorship), there is no reason why we should not be engaged on this. We should not help out left-wing sites, and we should help out independent sources of information.

I am not a html or seo expert. Any elucidating comments welcome.

Rel=nofollow does not pass page rank to that page but google is fast moving to an ai model that will make all of this irelevent ... the new WordPress ia also packaging thing with their new Gutenberg plugin that will make it easier for google to just grab parts of your site for search results and users will eventually never visit your site....pay google or be an ally of google and you show... otherwise forget about it...these bans are just the beginning
