    Hey DPers,

    Just wondering when you guys use, and don't use, the rel="external nofollow" tag in your links...

    I've got a blog, where all the sidebar links are rel="external nofollow", and the comments are nofollow, but any links I add in the post are "dofollow"... Is this how big-G wants it?

    What Google doesn't want you to do is to give out PR for money so even if your posts are do follow if they seem to be a sponsored post, Google will still penalize your blog. use the nofollow only on sponsored posts and the comment section.
