Recently, I was engaged in a forum discussion on the use of TAGs in web 2.0 and Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
I have put forth that social bookmarking sites can help promote the ranking of web page in traditional Search Engines (such as Google). One pointed out that rel=nofollow is used in del.icio.us site (which I have quoted as one of the social bookmarking site).
I have to eventually raise the issue that the SE do not need to follow through the links, as they are actually searching for the tags and their ranking within del.icio.us, rather than the content of the bookmarked URL.
This does raise the awareness of the new web 2.0 classification, that is currently circulating on the WWW.
