Here’s another interesting new angle on a product that may be a good one, but since I haven’t used it I can’t vouch for it. But the interesting thing about this article is a startling statistic:    – nearly 15 billion links (~3% of all links) are using the nofollow attribute    – over 11 billion of those were internal (73% of instances of nofollow)What’s this mean? Most of the people using nofollow as an attribute are doing it for PageRank sculpting reasons. They’re not selling links at all, which is the original reason Google introduced nofollow so that link sellers could sell links and not be penalized for selling PageRank. Instead, it’s being used differently. Three quick questions:    * Does this mean link sellers are still selling PageRank?    * Is the PageRank sculpting practice all that effective for those webmasters who are using it?    * Will Google kill the nofollow attribute?search engine ranking software
