rel="nofollow" Poll

Do you use the rel="nofollow" on your sites?

 

what is this feature???

 

no, I like to get more weight. as will mean i get more links on the sites there site don't care about search engine thats just added extra.

 

I don't use it - more weight is good thing - except it is your body weight after thanksgiving!

 

No, i don't use it.

It's a link attribute, links like this
<a href="externalsite" rel="nofollow">external link</a>
Wont be followed by search engines neither counted as incomming links for the other site.

 

It is no feature! It's a downgrade! I don't use it!!

 

no, I don't use it

 

No, I don't use it. And I think low of most people who do.

 

whoever uses it is a tool

 

I use it on my blog for comment links.

 

It is followed by the search engines but as you say does not pass PR.

i use it in my about us page and other footer links which do not need PR. I rather keep my PR on my important pages rather than let it leak out onto "Company Info" pages - which is a waste. However, I do NOT use on other people;s sites who we link to. Thats lame.

 

i dont use it

nofollow blocks spiders. linksa wont be backlink

 

Wrong. Why would they call it no follow if it was going to get followed??

I use it, however generally only for pages where i don't want a bunch of outgoing links, like my list of more then 350 free directories which has live links. I've also used them on very new sites which have some under construction sections. And I'm considering using it for blog comments/trackbacks as i've been getting a lot of spam recently.

 

I dont use it on my normal sites as I have no need to.

I have no idea if my blogs are using it, havent got round to checking.

*edit*

Why is this in the co-op section?

 

See i just got a new trackback for a website about butt sex.. horribly bad.

 

Becasue he's asking... Do you use da nofollow option in da co-op?

 

He didnt mention the co-op and I only noticed after posting.

I dont use da co-op

 

I do use the no-follow links on affiliate-links, where I get payed per sale, but not for sending them PR. I want the spiders to send people to my website, not theirs. I don't use Coop (whatever that is).
It's pretty obvious that if people are paying you for a link, there should not be no-follow-attribute on the link - unless they really are only interested in the traffic.
