I have a blog called Internet Heaven. My problem is, I make a deal with a "nice" guy in this community about link exchange. The point is I add his HTML link on my blog something like <a href="http://abc.def.ghi" "_blank">His Blog</a> but he keeps complaining and will leave negative feedback for me as unreliable person! This is what he see on my blog <a href="http://abc.def.ghi/" rel="nofollow" "_blank">His Blog</a>. Can someone tell me whats wrong please.. I really lost. Thanks
By default it's dofollow so no need to put it again. In link rel='nofollow' is used to tell search engines 'Do not follow link'.
Hi, am also wante to know abount the dofollow and also know about how we can know that this site is nofollow yet it is useful for the site for increase the crawl on the keyword .Please tell me the details.
what should i do for dofollow link? <a href="http://abc.def.ghi/" rel="dofollow" "_blank">His Blog</a> plz check it and tell me. my coding is alright or i should use some more parameter?
Which type of blog you are using ? Means which CMS you are using ? The site is not loading so I couldn't determine the proble. make reply with answers to the above questions. Some CMS automatically ads no-follow to all external links. So you have to modify the core of your CMS.
i suggest you don't use this type of code in blog comment. normally high PR blog Mod's delete this type of comment. you can add your url in the url option of the comment thats the best way to do the seo. and use some good word(depend on the blog topic) in the comment body. its the best way. coz may blog didn't support html comment. and wordpress blogs are nofollow. so avoid them.
<a href="http://abc.def.ghi/" rel="dofollow" "_blank">His Blog</a> Code (markup): Get rid of rel="dofollow", by default the search engines will follow links. Also, you need to specify the target rather than just use "_blank". So, the link you should use is: <a href="http://abc.def.ghi/" target="_blank">His Blog</a> Code (markup):
Nofollow links do not get followed by the search engines. That means that the search engines won't leave the site they are on to follow a link to another site. This is good for the person whose site has the link but won't benefit the person whose sites the link goes to. WordPress, like most blogging platforms, automatically makes links nofollow. So, it's rather pointless to leave spam comments on blogs. And yet, thousands of people keep wasting their time by leaving spam comments.
It's just kind of a dick move in anything that isn't user generated content (like a forums). It was invented to put a kabosh on abuse in things like signatures. If you're linking in articles or your own blog entries, setting them to nofollow is really just being kind-of an ass; really nofollow should be reserved for preventing link spamming abuse when you have users you don't trust (like forum members or 'responses' on a blog), and that's it. I often see nofollow being thrown around willy-nilly and all I can think is "Why are you being such a colossal PRICK?" -- though it's even funnier when people do it to themselves on internal links. "I don't want the search engine going to that page" -- then why the **** do you even have it online in the first place?!? I do laugh every time someone says "dofollow" -- since there's no such value... or call it 'tags' since it's a value on the REL attribute or META tag, NOT a tag itself.
Shouldn't be using TARGET or _BLANK at all -- shoving a new window down the users throat is bad usability and just pisses people (like myself) off. Unless you have frames (which you also shouldn't have for the same reasons) NOBODY has ANY business using TARGET on any website written after 1998! ... and no replicating the behavior with javascript isn't the answer either (and people do that too). If the user wants it in a new window/tab they can do so by middle clicking, ctrl-clicking, or using the context menu; do not break normal forward/back navigation and piss off users who don't want a new one by shoving it down their throat and stripping them of the choice! ... again as we've been told for FIFTEEN YEARS! http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-TECHS/#tech-avoid-pop-ups http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H83.html
I think the reason deathshadow is saying that nofollwo is a, um... "not nice" move is because you aren't really giving credit where credit is due. It's like saying, "Here's another site that is good enough for me to mention but I don't want to give them the benefit of some search traffic because it's all about me".
