I believe this is a far better solution that attempting to maintain any kind of blacklist or whitelist (there’s really no point singling out individual users of a particular program, it will never be an effective solution.) Instead this puts the choice back in the hands of receiving blog owners to screen out automatic pingbacks with a line of code.

The Akismet servers are in a position to filter our spam at a really excessive stage by combining varied parts and intelligence collected from blogs that take part in pinging.

The reader can follow the link, however search engines don’t give the target site any credit, as it does with ordinary links.

And you might as well chase the Nofollow duck and try to change it into a follow-one.
