It’s not looking good this month so far. I had installed the “rel=”nofollow” tag on all my links on both sites but as of today stats say 94 hits and 97 downloads.
It looks as though the new tag didn’t make any change – but I’ll ride it out till the end of the month and report again.

Hi ntaus,
Well, I do appreciate you making the effort and taking time to post the results. I know it took a lot of effort of your part to manually change the pages to use that modified link structure.
Shall I post my perl script to help you quickly change back if you decide to? It’s build for a *nix (linux, bsd, etc) environment, but … if your server/webhost is *nix, you can still make it work that way.
That said, having the rel=”nofollow” won’t hurt any of your sites to my knowledge … although you’ll have an extra page size of 14bytes x num of links to us …
