I don’t neglect nofollow links either, especially from established authority sites.

it still does not allow credit to be passed to the site that it is tagged to, however, it no longer allows the other links on the page to share increased credit. Previously if a site had 3 links and one was nofollow then 50% of the credit that page would pass would go to each of the links.

I do not neglect nofollow links. Google wants natural link building and if 100 percent of your backlinks are dofollow it will look not natural in google’s eyes.

I feel that a nofollow link will yield no benefit to the link recipients page rank, however I do think that nofollow links are still of benefit. My own personal feeling about them is that the anchor text of the link is still valid and considered by Google, but in term of link juice it has no value. I am quite possibly wrong tho….

I like looking back at stuff like this when so much more is known. Who at this stage would have thought that the nofollow attribute would have been used to sculpt pagerank internally within a site – I know we are now even past this stage now as its no longer effective but it shows what creative thinking can do

I can understand the theory in why Google wants to stop people paying for links, as to generate more targeted search results but the way Google Adwords work is a bit hypocritical, the higher someone bids, the higher their advert appears. In other words if you pay Google more money than your competitor you can have a link that appears higher for a key phrase, however if you pay another company money in order to increase your ranking for a key phrase, then that’s a no no.

No follow has recently been changed, it still does not allow credit to be passed to the site that it is tagged to, however, it no longer allows the other links on the page to share increased credit. Previously if a site had 3 links and one was nofollow then 50% of the credit that page would pass would go to each of the links.

Now the 2 links will each get 1/3 of the credit and the third will have no credit passed.

Nofollow is not ignored by google

Agree with sulumits, today google doesn’t count nofollow link anymore, but yahoo does.

Thank you, we appreciate your comment. We have downloaded and activated the Do Follow Plugin For WordPress, which lets us remove the nofollow attribute from our comments. I just updated the Plugin so we shouldn’t have any issues with the nofollow attribute on our comments.
