So bad. I got few backlinks from them. Now all of them are no follow.

No real surprise. Any site that gets abused eventually goes from dofollow to nofollow.  I'm pretty sure at one point Twitter, Wiki, Pinterest and more of the main sites were follow ... but then it gets abused like crazy and then boom, nofollow.

Thanks for pointing this out! A lot of unhappy people on the thread, but among SEOs that have retweeted the announcement on Twitter, there seems to be a positive reaction that this will help reduce the incentive to create low-quality content.

i agree keri, i really think it will separate the poor content from the good & relevant content.

hope it works out for the best for squidoo and its members

good thing I just found out about it, would have been a waste of time to write a quality content for this site and get no link juice. Although visitors referred do count, we were not banking on Squidoo for anything more than link juice. Time to get real serious in guest blogging. I just need to network and that is the hardest step as far as my research shows...

Any ideas where a good writer with very few people in his network of fellow bloggers can get a good start at this?
