Then when you add in the rest of the webmasters who don’t run blogs, but see this as a way to preserve their own PR… bang!
Webmasters who want to do that have already been doing it for a long time – they don’t need a new “obvious” way to do it.

What they SHOULD have done is written code to recognize the most popular blogs – and discount the links INTERNALLY… duh!
What about the legit blogs – should they have their legit links trashed?
Good spammers adapt very well to a changing environment – if they get cut off here they go there, etc. you’re not going to stop them with this uncomplicated fix. However being that it is an elementary patch its very easy for the search engines to implement and announce that they are doing something, when if fact they are not doing much at all.
With that said I am off to add this text into all my affiliate links on at least one site – then after the next pr update I will see if I preserved anything worth while.
