If I google Flabberghaster, below all the links to some band by that name, I do find my own jstpst profile.

Our pages are on Google, what I meant was that links out from our website don't increase a site's page rank. Google (used to?) look at how often a site gets linked to from other websites and those sites got a higher rank, so what spammers are looking for are a way to pretend that a site is genuinely linking to them to get a higher page rank. We've told google "don't use these links to increase page rank" tho tbh that probably doesn't do much Lol

Oh, I knew about how page rank works but I didn't know you could disable it without just doing a blanket nofollow
