You've probably heard that Google has launched a new service of Google Knol, something like Wikipedia. It does not surprise me that much, nor am I interested too, but I ran a post about Google's nofollow philosophy on this service: Knol's Nofollowing of links , where they say the following:
Knol is a publishing tool but unlike some other such tools by Google, this time all your article's outgoing links will be "nofollowed." The nofollow attribute is a mechanism to disable the juice is sending a link to another site. So while you can link to Knol pages to give them more authority in the eyes of Googlebot and others, Knol pages do not pass this measure authority back to other sites.
If I have understood that their philosophy, which is normally a little hard to understand and which again changed, all links will have a nofollow on it. Each link, whether good or not will not be able to forwarding PageRank. Now I do not understand how it fits into their philosophy, save for the spammers to sacrifice all the other good stuff. Also this is a call all the other services and that all webmasters put the nofollow on their links in order to prevent spam and that no one can rank for anything because everything is good, although will not be rewarded. Or did I misunderstood?
