		<description>I would have to agree partly with the original article.  It&#039;s important to optimize all your content, and having keywords in your RSS feed titles should help your readers tell what it&#039;s about more easily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As far as the nofollow tag goes, Stephan&#039;s right.  Google doesn&#039;t explicitly exclude the nofollow tag&#039;s use on different types of links, and even under your definitions, the Digg Voting button isn&#039;t an editorial link anyway, so it shouldn&#039;t be providing link value.</description>

		<description>Only having links to internal pages using highly relevant anchor text is sooo Wikipedia. ;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most people regard Wikipedia as Web2.0 and it seems to do well in search, even for pages that only have internal links.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Links to forms that are not blocked off with robots.txt may be blocked off by Google algorithmically, but why take the chance? That is not only bookmark buttons but your subscription buttons in the sidebar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you see people with blogs that have PR5 or PR6 internal pages, whilst their homepage is PR2, you know there is still some benefit in channelling juice effectively around your site.&lt;br /&gt;
I know toolbar pagerank isn&#039;t the best indicator, and pagerank isn&#039;t everything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you keep the 80:20 rule in mind, if it only takes 5 minutes to switch from using a plugin that has followed links to social bookmark sites to one that has nofollow or uses javascript, in my mind that is an easy and sensible decision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For bloggers looking to monetize, splitting feeds isn&#039;t a great idea.</description>

		<description>Hiya. Glad you liked *most* of my article. ;-) Just to clarify, I&#039;m not suggesting you hoard your PageRank and not link out. That&#039;s stingy and bad karma. Definitely pass PageRank to sites you mention within posts -- unless you don&#039;t vouch for the particular site because it&#039;s dodgy in some way. However, links to Digg voting forms, to Email This Page forms, to Comments, etc. are fair game for the nofollow because they are links that don&#039;t add value and are strategically unimportant from an SEO perspective. Also, Google doesn&#039;t restrict the use of nofollow to solely external links you don&#039;t vouch for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In regards to RSS, if your feed is getting syndicated or read by influential bloggers, then the item title will very likely be used as the anchor text in the link they point to you. If it is not keyword optimized, then you&#039;ll miss some of the opportunity.</description>

		<description>Hi Patrick, I must agree with you on both points. when I subscribe to a blog, I want to see everything that blogger is writing. I do not think I will ever subscribe to a single category blog. </description>
