Is that the reason why non proprietary software like Linux, PHP, MySQL and Apache are so popular?
Any company can set standards, and if they are good they may be followed in the end, but not necessarily (I remember a story with Big Blue and OS/II that run multiple versions of windows better than windows. And a lot meant it was a better OS. But the market wanted the underdog, Microsofts solution.
I still mean that it is nearly impossible for a BOT to identify the agenda behind (no)followed links. IMO
guidelines are guidelines and not rules.
So if Newton lived today and did not follw Google's rules, his writings would not be found on the Google SERP's?
May be more people would follow Newton's articles than follow Google's guidelines
Even worse, so few know the guidelines.
The best Guideline I think Google can follow is their claim to: Not be eveil.
That is difficult enough. With power follows responsibility.
