Looks Like Craigslist.org Stopped Using Nofollow

    I was looking at my inlinks on Google Webmaster tools and noticed an inlink from a post I did last week on Craigslist. I went to that page and checked the source and sure enough, there are no more no follows.

    I'm wondering if they had a loss in traffic when they were using the nofollows? What do you think is going on?

    I was doing searches this morning for specific vehicles and Craigslist started showing in the serps (Google). I haven't seen them come up in a while. Maybe we can all learn something about this? To Follow or Not Follow??

    False Alarm guys and girls. It appears my seo toolbar on firefox that identifies no_follow isn't working. I just checked and there is "no follows" unless maybe they were experimenting. I did see the link from webmaster tools, 1 out of 20 or 30 showed up.

    Yes I think they were testing, all Out links are still with the nofollow tag :(

    Just posted some ads on Craigslist now and when viewing the html source code of the page I can't see nofollow anywhere? Although its possible it was right in front of my face and I didn't see it :D
