Hello,

We are looking at the problem from different angles. You are already assuming that a hen exists - I am assuming the egg.

It only prevents the bonus of an additional value for the page rank.

... which is somehow important to be found and not to be on page 100.

if implemented and being switchable on and off, could be an option to make spammers' business a bit more difficult.

Isn't the goal of a spammer that a human click to a e.g. phishing link? I can't believe that a phishing site would attach great importance to page rank - as a human being does. Furthermore, I cannot believe that Google & Co are not able to recognize such sites - regardless of how many links are posted worldwide. If you really like to make spammers' business a bit more difficult, delete the postings as soon as possible - nothing else will save the visitors.

Everything said by everyone
