In the comments of my post, Understanding Follow Tags a great question was asked that I thought I’d give special attention to with a blog post. It’s relevant, it’s useful, and there are many theories to it.

Lisa asked: Does “no follow” affect SERPs at all?

The other night, Joanne and I were watching 60 minutes and during their story on the worth of pennies, I could hear exactly how their story pertained to blogging.
