This week's "In the News" brings disappointment to the SEO world as Flickr goes Nofollow with its links, preventing the use of Flickr for personal link gain. Ask.com uses Compete to add new pop up stats when you roll over the binoculars on their website, and now you can ward away boredom by watching other peoples' lives at Play.blogger.com.

Always a pleasure watching these informative little videos. Flickr = quite sad. Think they may go back on it eventually?

Flickr is NOT useless for SEO just because they added nofollow to exactly 2 sections of the site.

I wrote a blog post explaining how you can still use Flickr for SEO:

This story has been blown out of proportion by everyone.

Sage, you produce the most informative videos available. What sources do you use to get all of this very important news? After watching your video, I am anxious to hear other members' comments and cannot wait for the next issue. Thanks again.

Wow. Thanks so much for the kind comments.

I use a lot of different web site to pull the data together.

I'll keep trying to give you the best information I'm able.

Take care and thanks again,

Sage

I was actually wondering about Flickr myself. I am so glad that I found your video before spending more time in research on Flickr site. Now I know that it is no-go for many webmasters including myself. Thanks, Sage, for the update.

I wouldn't say it is something you shouldn't do. It just shouldn't be used for link building.

It has a lot of other good uses.
