Blogs posed a problem to Google because of the links you can gain easily. So the NoFollow PageRank Sculpting Issue is a means of Google protecting PageRank and remain in-charge of quality control.

Tired of getting the run around and would like to clarify this to my clients to help them understand what is going on with this mess. Hope this is also clarified before the IRCE2009 conference in Boston next week. Hoping Matt Cutts clarifies this whole “no follow” issue today.

Will take better part of day to get a good first cut." So I guess we'll know more soon. Matt Cutts tweeted earlier today: “Things quiet enough that I might start the pr sculpting blog post today.

It's possible Google is just doing this for internal links, and that external nofollow links are ignored as before. Otherwise, popular blogs would have a great deal less influence on search results, and some bloggers might disallow links in comments. Neither of those results makes much sense from Google's perspective. “The disappointing thing is that if you have a large number of links on one page (including links in comments on blog posts), they still dilute the link value of more important links on the page.”
