About rel="nofollow" baclink

Well, it seems like only DP (noobs) members beleive links with the 'NoFollow' attribute have no value at all. Studies made by black hatters (those who try to find ways to squeeze just a drop of juice from and orange and then order 10.000 oranges to get a full glass) have shown it helps you to get crawled (=Google follows) and that google still put value to the anchor text (which affects your ranking), but not PageRank itself.

What a suprise he says that - considering he is the head of Google's Webspam team.

Conclusion
Don't listen to the noobs on this site. Most of them (like e.g. AngelaE8654) are just posting to increase their post count (and to promote their sig urls) and the answers they give are copy past from other threads (not something they know anything about).

P.S.
I just did a quick search for "AngelaE8654" on this site, and it is funny to see how many posts she can post on this forum without actually having anything to say. Her posts is mostly "That's what I was thinking..." , "Yeah, I didn't either.", "Exactly." etc. And these are some of the best posts. Many of the other posts are either repeating what's already said in the thread, incorrect or misleading information. And she uses every chance she gets to promote the link in her signature.

Case Closed

 

Google follow the linked page, but don't index it unless it was indexed previously.
