I checked the source of the flickr page you linked.

Outbound links are now nofollow, presumably this is sitewide.

Hi Torben,

aren’t you doing the same (with a little more afford of work)?

I think that seo professionals do this in another way. Or are there enough blogs for any topic and any product available? Seo only works as a combination of content and trustful links. Only bloglinks created by spamming blogs are not as strong as individual written and topic-relevant articles with a few links to the site, the article is written for…

Hi Will,
I know a few SEO´s from Germany and know their work. For me they are the biggest spammers in Blogs. I know two SEO Companies which have Students, which are blogging all the day. I think, many SEO´s are trying to get a Link, how ever. When the Comment in a Blog is well – it doesn´t matter. But the comments like “Hey, nice site you have” are Spam for me. I have had my own Blog one year ago, but there was so many spam – so I have closed it. Sorry about my english.

Simone, there are bad apples in any community, but the vast majority of SEOs are people who act responsibly and follow Google’s guidelines to the letter of law. Any reputable SEO firm will closely examine Google’s guidelines and only do things that fall squarely within those lucid guidelines.

And now Flickr has added the nofollow tag to much of the site. There are areas where nofollow hasn’t been added, but the spam should decrease now that they have rendered most links impotent.

Read our thought on continuing to use Flickr for SEO purposes.

Id have to agree with search engine optimisation nz. When the site your optimizing just isn’t that interesting, you have to find other ways to build links. But you have to exhaust all quality options first. At any case, flickr still have advantages for seo.
