"Squidoo, a huge user generated content web site founded by Seth Godin, announced  they are now nofollowing all outbound links.I am surprised it took so long. It was founded in 2005 and has been used by SEOs for years for getting links or content into Google.  I believe Squidoo was hit hard after Panda.That being said, Squidoo said:Based on the successful implementations of other authoritative sites, like Wikipedia, Squidoo will now apply \u201Cnofollow\u201D markup to all outbound links. This means that any link shared on a lens will work exactly as it always has for you and for people visiting Squidoo, but search engines will no longer use it as a signal for ranking.In 2010, Squidoo had 1.5 million hand-built \"lenses\" or pages.There is forum reaction from SEOs at a couple forums including SEOmoz and Warrior Forums, here is one comment:Not a big surprise. Made me money, served it's purpose, one tool in an arsenal that now is less effective, oh well right? Forum discussion at SEOmoz and Warrior Forums."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
