The Hidden Power of Nofollow Links
Blog Post: June 08, 2014
  • Katie Manning

    Think about it - everyone is now using nofollow links to keep their precious rank juice ... Google knows this and I imagine will soon change their algo , or already have done , to remove this short sighted spam solution.

    Build your no-follow links , in a short amount of time they will probably have no distinguishable characteristics in the eyes of Google.to that of dofollows.

    On a directory like PureLocal, I have nofollow to ALL external sites EXCEPT for Google brands and a few trusted URL's - Google telling us that pointing to "bad" sites . or too many "good" ones will either have us penalised or bleeding pagerank , the system is flawed no?

    We run a directory with about 110,000 listings , most of whom link to their website and many link to 5+ social profiles. Upon giving this more thought we are considering applying nofollow to all external links EXCEPT for Google/YouTube etc. Placing a nofollow to Google's pages seems to be counter intuitive and potentially subject to penalty if Google sees another site is not endorsing it at all and essentially stating , by use of mass nofollow , that the PureLocal website considers Google not trustworthy...ditto for Youtube...can someone please shed some light...?
