    I heard Google minus the effect of =nofollow on the link

    Is that mean the robot will follow the link even we put no follow on?

    :confused: how about the repeat content?! and some meanless content?

    Or this just affect the PR flow?

    Welcome to share

    if they did, then you will get a higher PR and this is what i am waiting too, because it increase not only your PR but your domain popularity too ;)

    i don't think they will remove it, because they just added ;)

    happy ranking !:D

    Where have you heard that? Why would they suddenly ignore rel=nofollow when they pushed for it? Are they also gong to say buying/selling links are okay again? I think not.

    They do not ignore the nofollow but they minus the effect of it. I am not sure all the meaning behind it. They said this is becasue nofollow is gradually losing its meaning and function because it was largely used by seor for other function instead of its true orginal function. They said something like this in a talk which I saw the summary on one of seo blog.

    No I don't think so. They never remove the re=nofollow attribute. google spider never follow nofollow links.

    Nofollow will not give you any link juice.

    I remember when I first found out about nofollow links about 18 months ago and realized that most of my link building focused around nofollow sites.

    Argh!

    This is old news already. Because of the heavy exploitation of the 'rel nofollow' attribute for pagerank sculpting Google changed the way they handle nofollowed links. A no-follow link used to pass no PR to the linked pages, so when you put a nofollow link, the PR didn't leak to the other page but stayed on yours. What's been changed is that now the PR vanishes. It doesn't go to the linked page but doesn't stay on yours either, it's simply discounted.
