from what I've always known, backlinks with the attached 'nofollow' are worthless, and don't help SEO one bit. however hxxp://www.backlinkwatch.com/ lists all the backlinks for any site, and many of the 'nofollow' links it finds are listed as the opposite (do-follow?). in other words, do a backlink search on there and it will list all of the backlinks. some are labeled as 'nofollow' but LOTS of them are shown as regular, SEO-impacting, backlinks. does this show that any backlink is important? or is simply a site error? the error would be that it doesn't label the backlinks as 'nofollow' when indeed they are. thanks for any help!
No it is not write. They don't provide backlinks but they are worth to try because they provide traffic.
I get lots of traffic from no follow links. This is because key words I use next to links to my sites in posts on sites like this show up in search results.
While accurate that no follow links will not pass PR it is completely asinine to think that no follow links don't help SEO. They do. If you have a range of no follows mixed in with your do follow links then your backlink profile appears to be more natural and thus, inherently more merit based. I don't expect the DP linkwheel building, blog commenting crowd to understand this, which is great for me or anyone with an actual clue as to how seo should be performed. For the 100th time. It is Google's job to return the most relevant query for (x) search term. If you want to rank well you have to make your site actually relevant. This is not done by hurling a bunch of links at it, no follow, do follow or otherwise. hope that helps, Nigel
It's much better to get a mix of Follow and No Follow as it's a lot more natural and Google will rank you high because of it.
A no-follow backlink will not pass any kind of authority to your site and has zero effect over SEO. Google do not count such backlinks in its algorithm.
