I don't understand NoFollow...

[Errk!]

Hello,

I'm confused about the NoFollow attribute. What does it do? What does having it selected mean? How does it affect the link?

Thanks....

It would tell the search engine not to follow the link.

The intent is to block passing PageRank to the page in the link. It was originally suggested as a way of discouraging or nullifying spam in forums or blogs.
