How would old links have the tag? I’m just confused about this. Joe downloads software and installs a blog on his website. Joe uses the blog for 6 months and never uses it again. The blog is now a spam friendly website.
Joe is not about to go visit a website he hasn’t touched in 2 years to upgrade the software.
But obviously that isn’t the point. Joe wasn’t going to tag new tags either. All that is going on is if a blog wants to tag links, it will, old and new. If a blogger doesn’t, old and ongoing spam will continue to be untagged.
But maybe people aren’t understanding that this isn’t up to an individual Joe Blogger. It is being implemented by blogger.com, etc. The big, mega, hosting blogs for all the blogs housed on their space.
In other words, it only takes about ten people to effect a huge percentage of blogs out there.
