Why people get no-follow links?

If no-follow links do not help in getting a better PR than why to get those links. Is there any other benifit in getting lots of no-follow links?

 

traffics

 

yes, nofollow links on high-profile pages can sometimes bring direct traffic

 

I guess no other reason but traffic...

 

Traffic, but nofollow links are all part of a well balanced backlink profile.

 

Thanks for the info

 

some one might want the traffic from a certain site but dont want the link to be followed to his/her site for whatever reason it is

 

Thanks,I think I learned a new thing

 

it's also possible that some other sites will copy the content and use "follow" links

 

I like to think of it as exposure. It may bring you traffic if the link is compelling enough to click on in the first place. I am assuming that the OP was referring to nofollow in blog comments to begin with. After all, that is what a majority of the link building posts are about here.

Crafting a comment can be just as hard as writing an original blog post. If done right, you will get the blog owner to at least click through to the other side. If done really well, you will get other readers to click through as well.

Sometimes you will get lucky and find a flaw in the original blog post. Enough of a flaw that it causes the blog owner to update his original article and give you the credit (a link inside the post).

High profile pages, hot topics, whatever can be harder to get noticed. If the post has garnered 30 or more comments by the time you get there ... then getting noticed increases exponentially. It is also harder to get your comment to see the light of day (approved) on blogs of this caliber.

Subscribe to the comments for that post. If the author of the blog replies to your comment, then you can knock out another comment to thank him or respond in kind. This will get you noticed even more, because blog owners like to know that they are not talking into thin air and like to see some acknowledgment.

Be careful when commenting on any type of blog. If you are running around submitting mindless one-line 'great post' comments with an anchor text link to 'Pinoy Hotels' you run the risk of having your link submitted to Akismet as spam.

 

It was an interesting information and enlightening one.thanks friend

 

mix up strategies.. anything to make sure the google bots can't detect a pattern in your linking strategy.. once again MIX IT UP.. so having a few nofollow links with the majority of your dofollow links (naturally DUH!) will help reduce the chances of your site raising one of the bot's red flags.

 

I feel that if its a no-follow link, the search engines will still count the anchor text toward your serp

 

not so much... but it does help.. nofollow links are heavily discounted, most people think they have no value but I agree with you that they do help a bit with the SERP's

 

you will get traffic and serp

 

They have their points - especially say no follow links from yahoo answers, wikipedia and youtube can all help drive traffic quit effectively.

Also if you partake in certain pay per posts things, they will often count total number of backlinks. So if you can easily gain a few thousand backlinks, even if no follow, they can help you get paid more if that is your thing.

 

Aside from traffic nofollow links will help you to improve your rankings in some search
engines but we all know that it will not help you in google.

 

Writing takes time and energy so I have listed in order of importance the best way to spend that time:
1. Build your own quality content first and foremost.
2. Do-follow links from quality relevant sites.
3. No-follow links from quality relevant sites.

Notice all 3 had one word in common.

 

I think no-follow has no value backlink
But why people get no-follow links, I think traffic, they want to get direct traffic ?
I get do-follow links only

 

Leaving quality comments on high traffic blog with do not follow can bring some quality traffic.
