Big deal. Anyone using Y!SE data is going to waste a lot of time. And the directories give you dofollow links, so I don't see that getting removed automatically by any <a href="http://go.seomoz.org/aff_c?offer_id=1&aff_id=1009&aff_sub=features&url=http%3A//www.seomoz.org/features" rel='nofollow' target='_blank' >SEOmoz</a> tools. Now, if you filter on MozTrust, you may have a fair point that this won't work as well. If I were playing devil's advocate, though, I'd say that there's no proof of the quality of that metric. Your point about sitewide links is helpful. Just a shame you had to introduce it with condescending language :P So Linkscape and some others can identify nofollow. Big deal.

I don't see how that's possible. You’d have to block them from crawling every other site that you’d obtained links from. I don’t see how that’s possible.

How about the fact that pro tools can distinguish between quality and junk links? The only way to fool some of the tools is to have 1 sitewide link from a nice big site. Now out of the first 1000 results you have a big change of having 950 fluff links. Now this is what I call noob advice.

Still great info even though dirty links hardly ever show up near the top of backlink checks. By the title I thought you were going to teach people to block Linkscape or Y!SE.
