Been a while since i scoped over the DaveN blog (which has changed a lot since i last visited). They have found a way you can get a free backlink from the big G. I have just tested this out and its for real and it has not been no followed. Brilliant, just some time now before we see that page that I have created get some PageRank and start passing some value to me.
