>>It has been suggested that h2g2 find a way to selectively remove the tag from Edited Entries so that search engine robots can crawl over the pages and note all the links between Edited Entries, thus improving their search rankings. There are some concerns that this could slow down the site due to the number of links in each Edited Entry, but the pay-off from such a move could be huge.
Can you explain, please? Woodpigeon and I proposed putting "nofollow" in all the Edited Entries, so that the various links all around the entries (to Feedback, Peer Review etc) would not be followed. We reckoned that the Edited Entries would be indexed by being linked to in the Category pages, which are all searched by the Search engine.

I honestly don't know enough about the matter, as I was summarising F8737899 when I wrote my parts of this. I think the point is to allow robots to follow the interlinking between Edited Entries. I'm not sure how viable the idea is, but it would make a big difference to the site.
