When it comes to "nofollow" or not, there is always a chance that some search- engines don't honor it and follows anyway. Anyway. It's a well known fact that spammers love to exploit all possibilities to make someone a fool, and this is only one of them. AFAIK W3C should never have given them this opportunity at all.

So why link to those sites, even with nofollow?
