The problem is that the noscript pagination for activity - the one seen by the crawlers - does not have nofollow.

I'm about to fix this on the trunk. Does anyone think this should go into the branch as well, for BP 1.2.9?

Actually, as I think about it, maybe nofollow is not really the issue here. Anyone?

nofollow is not meant for blocking access to content, or for preventing it being indexed by search engines. For that, use robots.txt or ​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_element#The_robots_attribute

I think this ticket is invalid or a wontfix. Take a look at how the wpdevel blog in Google: ​http://www.google.co.uk/search?sclient=psy&hl=en&source=hp&q=wpdevel.wordpress.com%2Fpage%2F&btnG=Search
