ArticlesBase links are now no follow

Articles Base made a some changes to their site earlier this week and it appears one of the changes is now all links put in articles or resource boxes are no follow. This is not only on their site but if articles are published the no follow tag is in that code too.

Does this mean that posting articles to AB is pointless now as far as getting SEO backlinks?

 

I think if this is the case its probably best to post elsewhere

 

No, you can still get traffic which indirectly helps SEO.

You can also get people who copy your work and leave a backlink to your site as a result of copywrite laws.

 

ezine article is the place to go post articles and Squidoo, Hubb and Gather for lighter entries.

 

I dont think it was this week, seen them as nofollow at least 3 weeks ago.

 

I just want to know does the copy content have the no-follow tag?

 

It is very sad that articlesbase has no follow. I have many articles there. Instead we have to jump to hubpages or squidoo.

 

I'm pretty sure they've been nofollow for quite some time now. This isn't a recent change. As far as I remember the profile url is dofollow and that's about it. I'll have to check and see but it most likely still is. The article links have been nofollow for quite a while though.

EDIT: I've been through a few profiles and it looks like even those are nofollow. I haven't seen an area for the author's url but the links people are putting in their bios are all nofollow.

 

How do they expect to compete with Ezine by making links nofollow?

 

u must have good profile in hubpages for getting dofollow backlink

 

Yes, articlesbase has no follow.. But still if you get traffic from articlesbase then its good for you...

 

I've found a way to still get dofollow links from articlebase.

PM if you want the info

 

Link building with Squidoo is easier than HubPages because Squidoo lenses offer you dofollow links to begin with where HubPages external links are nofollow to begin with. There is a way which allows you to get the external links to turn to dofollow however.

 

hmmmm. let me search it in google.

 

But you can use keywords with your's site name.

 

But hubpages allow you to share the adsense revenue....

 

In my view the article main purpose is use to increase traffic. some article also get back link but main use for traffic generator.

 

article base is no follow article

 

You can try other sites which still give you do follow links

 

That's very interesting. It seems like everyone is switching to nofollow. I wonder what these sites will do when their revenues stop flowing because of their selfishness. Guess we'll have to wait and see on that one!
