2 quick questions on link juice Q1.On my wordpress blog i have an rss feed link on each page should i use no follow to cut down on the juice leak or is this totally irrelevant Q2. Also can i gain juice from people linking to my images on there sites? Thanks Zane
link juice is surprising topic for me i listen many times about the link juice but don't know how it is important for us and how it is is help full in SEO.
There is no exact answer for question one. It is more of an opinion. I would say its irrelevant because Google will crawl your site regardless and sometimes having links out to sites like that can benefit your sites PR. Question 2 I would answer as no. If they are linking your image it is not a webpage so juice cannot be passed to anywhere and it is not a back link.
Yes the rss feed is also responsible for the link juice. What is the use of RSS feed? Feed distribution and helps search engines in crawling. You can achieve these two with the use of nofollow. So stop leaking the juice from here. The second answer - Have you ever seen the image file has any PR. The reply is no. So you will not get any benefit if people link your images.
Answer for Q1: nofollow for own page will not save your link juice. As google said: if you have 10 links in a page, each link has 10% of link juice, even the link is nofollow.
DoDo Me is correct. Google discussed this while back. 2 years ago would of been different when we use to practice "link sculpting". Things have changed
