Page rank sculpting was one of those fads that raced through the SEO world with a bright light and was good for ‘make work’ projects. I always had my doubts and expressed as much in the online forums. I just think there are a zillion other useful SEO things on the ‘to-do’ list and sculpting page rank with no-follow seemed quite low on the list and mostly unproven. On large sites where you have tried everything to get fully inexed but are still having difficulty this might still be a viable use of time but Matt Cutts blew the issue into the open when he said, that it (sculpting) no longer works to help flow more PageRank to the unblocked pages. This has the SEO comunity up in a stir as proven by the 60 or so comments already posted over at SEOmoz.
