<big>In our effort to grow a valuable guide to [[DomainPage|websites]], we want to give '''link love''' to good sites with good [[AboutUs]] pages.</big>

Since we don't want to give link love to "bad actors" such as [[ParkedPage|parked]] and [[pac|adult]] sites, scams, etc. we decided to default to [[Wikipedia:Nofollow|NoFollow]].
