Twitter & its “nofollow” attribute
Around the end of the year 2008 twitter added a new attribute to its all links & tweet, that is “nofollow” attribute. This small code stops all the search engine bots to follow the link & so prevents Twitter’s high PR from being passed on or the links being counted towards your site.
