Google Ban Sites with "NO-FOLLOW" Codes??

I read an article saying that if I use the "no-follow" code in my Wordpress, Google will ban my site, can someone shine some light on this topic, pretty retarded if it's true.. but I doubt it.

 

That is not true. No follow just means that no one will spam your blog.

 

That's impposible!

nofollow is a Google invention.
Plus, wordpress has nofollow by default.

So there's no way Google would ban a site for that!

 

if it does google search wouldn't exist

 

Thanks all for yielding wonderful results.

I'm currently running version 2.7.1

So you're saying WP automatically has a built in "nofollow" function?? No wonder I've been searching for "nofollow" plugin and couldn't find any..

 

No, WP doesn't automatically have a build in 'nofollow' function.

Read this.

 

than 1/2 the sites would be banned

 

Google does not ban any sites with the "no-follow" tag.

 

blogspot is also by default nofollow.But i removed nofollow attribute.

How to remove:-

Login to Blogger Dashboard.

Navigate to Layout >> Edit HTML >> Expand Widgets Template

Search for the following code in your template.

<dl id=’comments-block’>
<b:loop values=’dataost.comments’var=’comment’>
<dt class=’comment-author’expr:id=’”comment-” + data:comment.id’>
<a expr:name=’”comment-” +data:comment.id’/>
<b:if cond=’data:comment.authorUrl’>
<a expr:href=’data:comment.authorUrl’ rel=’nofollow’><data:comment.author/></a>
<b:else/>
<data:comment.author/>
</b:if>
<data:commentPostedByMsg/>
</dt>

You can see a code in red and bold font there. It’s rel=’nofollow’ and this piece of code adds Nofollow attributes to your blog. Delete this code from your template.
Click on Save to save the changes.
You are done.

 

Wordpress comments are by default nofollow. And also nofollow/dofollow is a google invention. So there is no chance that google is going to penalize sites using nofollow tag.

 

Google won't ban a site with nofollow attributes. That's a fallacy! Google is the inventor of nofollow, it's a measure to prevent spamming.

 

Can you show us the article you read? I would be very surprised if it actually said that.

 

i don't think so, google hate spamming sites so theirs no reason for them to ban no follow sites.
