That is what you do when you take a listing from a agent, put it up on your site then no-follow the link back to the source of the date. Your not protecting against spam, your protecting against the source of your data out ranking you in the search engines.

It seems that Trulia is placing no follow tags on our listings that are fed from ERA.com. This practice is to the broker's, the agent's, and ultimately ERA's detriment. Since we are a pioneer in feeding listing sites, it seems only fair that we should benefit fully from the listings we provide Trulia. http://www.bloodhoundrealty.com/BloodhoundBlog/?p=3059 -- Tom Johnson ERA Silver Star Realty Here is a copy of an email I sent to Brenda Casserly, CEO of ERA and Bill Cogan our web guy:
