They are still used by Google to calculate the ranking. I have seen several times my sites ranked like 5 or 6 places higher after adding just one new nofollow backlink.

The basic idea behind is that, if you have no follow attribute, then that link will not pass the page rank. BUT it will surely pass the link juice to your website. Many experts are saying that, getting no-follow link is waste of time but I prefer to acquire them as well. Because link juice and link counts still does matter for higher ranking in SERP. Also if you have balanced link counts of do follow and no follow, it will help you as well for getting higher ranking.

It’s a foggy area as some engines don’t follow the nofollow tag to it’s intended definition.

But link juice is precious, so why waste it on pages that don’t stand a chance of ranking?

This is a great topic Shannon. I am sure your next post on nofollow will spark some more interest as well.
Thanks a lot.

Per the Specification for Nofollow @ http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-nofollow:

“RelNoFollow is an elemental microformat, one of several microformat open standards. By adding rel=”nofollow” to a hyperlink, a page indicates that the destination of that hyperlink SHOULD NOT be afforded any additional weight or ranking by user agents which perform link analysis upon web pages (e.g. search engines). Typical use cases include links created by 3rd party commenters on blogs, or links the author wishes to point to, but avoid endorsing.”

Nofollow is a misnomer. The SEs can and will actually follow the link to the other side. Yahoo Slurp follows the links and is documented on their Search site. Google says they do not follow the link, but I do not really believe that.

I happen to have only one link to one of my blogs and Google indexed the blog, although that one link was nofollow.

Use a different keyword search term for each article. For instance, one article might use frequently the term “safe car for girl”, while another might use the term “girl safety”.

I have been looking for a post on it.

I have two questions:
1. Does it matter whether it’s counted as a backlink since you won’t get any PR juice anyway?

2. Why would we want to comment on no follow blogs as part of our link building strategy? Isn’t it a waste of time?

Please help.
