However, I keep see more and more posts by people throwing all the blame on members and absolving SquidHQ of the policies that led it into a death spiral. Sorry, no. That&#8217;s [&#8230;]]]></description>

As usual, I&#8217;m using Hubpages as a reference, because it&#8217;s a comparable site, although its traffic trajectory has been quite different. (Hubpages [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once again, spammers pooping in Squidoo&#8217;s sandbox have caused inconvenience for the rest of us. Squidoo has now followed Wikipedia&#8217;s example and nofollowed all outbound links. My opinion: it stings, but on the whole it&#8217;s a reasonable move. There are some drawbacks to nofollowing all outbound links. But those drawbacks are outweighed by the benefit: this [&#8230;]]]></description>
