social bookmarking and PR

hello,

I'm kind of puzzled by one thing relating to social bookmarking. I noticed, for example, that del.icio.us adds nofollow to any outgoing links. how is social bookmarking supposed to improve your PR? do you do it just for traffic? and how?

thanks

 

anyone? any idea?

 

if a social bookmarking site has nofollow then it can't help with pr, but it may, possibly, bring extra traffic to your site.

 

Hello there,
How do I know if some social book marketing sites have "nofollow"?
Where should I look for it?
Thanks,
Vad

 

IF you look at the html source code you can see if they use no follow

 

most of the big SB sites using nofollow now and others are following. major blogs took that step long time ago. and its all because of spammers spamming the sites. with no follow being added, spammers now know if of no use spamming those sites cause they will not benefit in terms of PR. however, there are still some SB sites that have not added nofollow yet. there is a thread here with a list of hundreds of SB sites. all you have to do is to look at the souce code, search for the word nofollow, and if you find it there, it will not benefit you in terms of PR. but you can still use SB sites to drive some traffic to your site.

 

Don't bother yourself about increasing your PR. Quality traffic is more important.
Even the bookmarking site uses nofollow it still crawl the links but does not pass PR juice. I think keywords that you use as anchor text in bookmarking site can still help in improving SERP.

 

thanks everybody for your answers

 

Hi there,
But where in sourse code should I look for "nofollow"?
At the beginning? body? head?
Thanks,

If you really want to check if the site uses nofollow try to download www(dot)quirk(dote)biz/searchstatus/

 

If you want to see if anything on the web has a nofollow just check the source code and hit edit and search type in nofollow just like that and go. If you get a result it will be just before or after a link and there you go a no follow.

 

Wow, thanks a lot, this is the great plugin!!!!!!!!!
I love it and I use it

Now when I go to "Show in Archive.org" it says that my robots.txt blocks the axess to the site. Is it good or not good???

Should I change the robots.txt file???
