Ive noticed my sites with nofollow links ranking better than sites with dofollow links I think if a site has 100 backlinks... and ALL are Do-Follow.... then Google says ok well the odds of that are one in 20,000 so this must be an SEO site..... and yes its anchor text is all the same lets discredit all backlinks on this one However, if Google sees nofollow, dofollow, a mix..... it'll look more natural Ive even seen some posters say that they believe No Follow links have helped their rankings What do you guys think??? - FBos
Nofollow would absolute pass no juice. However, Google did change a way they treat nofollow for a few months ago since the end of 2009. The change has been made because of abused by some webmaster as usual. Old Concept - Nofollow does mean pass no link juice and PR. Googlebots "still crawl" on that nofollow links to see what site has been linked to. Ex 1 If one page has score at 10 and has 2 outbound links. All of them are nofollow. The score on that page is still 10. Ex 2 If one page has score at 10 and has 2 outbound links. One is dofollow and one is nofollow. The score on that page is 9 because of -1 for one dofollow link. New Concept - Nofollow does mean pass no link juice and PR. Googlebots "still crawl" on that nofollow links to see what site has been linked to. However, even the link juice and PR has not being leaked, the value of the page is still diluted. Ex 1 If one page has score at 10 and has 2 outbound links. All of them are nofollow. The score on that page is 8 because the 2 nofollow links. None of them passed any link juice and PR as usual. Ex 2 If one page has score at 10 and has 2 outbound links. One is dofollow and one is nofollow. The score on that page is 8 because of 2 outbound links. One nofollow does not pass any link juice and PR while the next One dofollow pass the link juice and PR. Hope this help
In my own experiences, nofollow backlinks might not transfer PR juice to the linked pages but they would still be helpful for SERP purpose. It would also help in increasing link popularity and generating a more natural backlink structure. Thanks,
So ... ok no follow links will not help with Yahoo? Shsss ... don't tell anyone. Still consider nofollow links regardless PR may be indicative of a page that is getting some decent traffic and is still worth placing a link on regardless. It may or may not pass PR but if it has a lot of vistors and you link is highly relevent well you will see a few of those visitors. Google dumped the nofollow due to linksculpting. But depending on how you read the article does it imply that internal PR was changed only? Regardless Matt Cutts says that your time is better off creating content and getting more links to your site. http://www.stonetemple.com/articles/interview-matt-cutts-012510.shtml
Well, there was a video from matt cutts on this. According to him, Google doesn't count nofollow links and doesn't pass any PR or Link Juice.
Well a relevant link is useful no matter if it's dofollow or nofollow. Since Google stresses on the fact that Dofollow is the best, then go for it
Yeah and Google also says they can't let anyone know anything about their proprietary system. I think the stuff Matt Cutts tells everyone is like months old. How else do you think google controls everything? They get themselves setup for the top and then implement the new system. Wait a few months.....oh here comes a Matt Cutts video......"OMG Google just updated their system"..........That's my belief.....I find more use in the no-follow links as everyone seems to hate them. I just grab the no-follow link by the hand and lead it to my site...lol. Oranor
While some of your sites may rank better than others, I don't think the 'rel' tag has anything to do with. If there are 200 factors that determine rank and 'rel' is just one of them, it's too minor to have real significance. I also don't see why G would conclude that a site has been optimized and consequently penalize it, just because all of its IBLs are dofollow. . . doesn't seem logical. I think the opposite might have merit. That is, if a site had only nofollow IBLs that could be a signal that the target site is not very trustworthy.
Well, The nofollow/dofollow is just nothing important. There is 1 simple rule, If the site is bad (porn/stolen apps/casino/etc) use nofollow, else dofollow - Google can detect if it is good link or not and still will give you a value if you do that, But it is just another "tool" for them to detect bad websites..
So it means that whether do-follow or no-follow, either the one is available on our page the score of the page will go down from 10 to 8, because of the two outbound links ? Great example thou, just a little confused
No, it means that if the two out of the ten outbound links are "nofollow", then the page rank for that page is downgraded with the appropriate scale, and the example used simple numbers for clarity. So instead of having same PR as for the 10 links, spread over the 8 remaining you have the amount of PR without the amount for the not followed distributed over the remaining 8. In other words less. This happened mainly because of abusing so-called page sculpting.
Yes I had also read somewhere that google will now start penalising the ones who have some other sites links in the comments section of their blogs. This means that the bots do take the no-follow links in consideration too. They must have added some additional code in their algo to penalise and not count the no-follow pages for PR.
Dear Fbos123, Link Juice and Pagerank is dead.. Don't waste your time for those... Presently, all it matters is Content... which is Original and Unique...
