My brother's site has one of those buttons with links to a few social sites, I see the word javascript in his code, is this what you're talking about?: <!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --> <script type="text/javascript">addthis_pub = 'his site';</script> <a href="http: //www addthis com/bookmark php" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '[U R L]', '[TITLE]')" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()"><img src="http: //s9 addthis com/button1-share gif" width="125" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a><script type="text/javascript" src="http: //s7 addthis com/js/152/addthis_widget js"></script><br /><br /> <!-- AddThis Button END --> Would this be a nofollow? Thanks for the info
Change it to this: <!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --> <script type="text/javascript">addthis_pub = 'his site';</script> <a rel="nofollow" href="http: //www addthis com/bookmark php" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '[U R L]', '[TITLE]')" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()"><img src="http: //s9 addthis com/button1-share gif" width="125" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a><script type="text/javascript" src="http: //s7 addthis com/js/152/addthis_widget js"></script><br /><br /> <!-- AddThis Button END --> Code (markup):
Great, great, great stuff. I haven't done it before, but I am going to do it now. This deserves and gets GREEN!
thanks for sharing this info but in a way it is just link building common sense... the more links pointing outside your site, the less chance you will get a high PR... the more outgoing links, the more link juice you are losing
You might be right. But this is why sometimes you have to define common sense. I totally didn't know this. I mean, I had absolutely no clue. I guess I better start getting many more links to my site.
Nice tips, I never even thought about that. Unfortunately for me I checked the links on my forex blog and they were already nofollow.
Thanks for the tip, but it destroys the main idea behind the Internet. What if everyone start using rel="nofollow" on their websites? I think the best way is to use the nofollow tag only to websites that use nofollow themselves like wikipedia etc.
