Hi everybody, At the new plugin list (http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins), all links are marked as nofollow. That's of course to prevent spam. But I think, that is no good idea for this page.
There are some reasons why the links should not be marked as nofollow: * we want to have a complete list of all available plugins. We can support this by not using "nofollow" because the plugin author will have a good back link. * The plugin page is visited a lot of times. There is no need to mistrust the links. Most of them (I think even all of them) are proved to be valid and to be helpful links. * jQuery needs links to be pushed at search engines (the good PR has a reason). In this way, jquery should link back to plugin developers, who makes jquery what it is. I think, "nofollow" is not a bad idea of search engines (but that's not the subject). But surely, it has to be used sensible. It doesn't make sense to use this attribute in a controlled environment like the plugin list.
