Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought it was healthy to have a mix of links. It might seem unnatural to have a high percentage of dofollow?

Great post. Although 301 links DO pass link juice, nothing frustrates me more than when I get links “placed” from by SEO firms that are 301 redirects. They say that they do that to protect themselves in case I ever stiff them on a bill, but I think that its unethical as one day they can just redirect the link to a new client. I am paying them to build links, no paying them to rent links! Just as a heads up to others, I don’t think you should accept 301 redirects from your SEO firm (especially when they are in control of the redirect).

Affiliate Link Cloaking is 100% necessary. I believe that in order to make any sort of commission from these products you have to hide your links.

Comprehensive post, very useful when you buy or exchange links with other websites. I also look at the cache date of the page where I buy the link, if the cache is older than 30 days, something is fishy, probably the page is buried too deep and a link there has little value 🙂

Just wanted to know if Cloaking was not seen as ‘common practice’ at Google, because I have a few people who think it is being deceptive therefore not in the webusers intrests….

I agree that there is value in nofollow links. Some search engines have never paid attention to this tag. It makes sense that even Google has to eventually give credit to nofollow links as they gradually become more pure as more seo’s primarily chase the dofollow links.

Fine and well, but if a gov’t agency etc. give you a link the “real” value is with the “targeted traffic” and sales they bring. I’ve seen nofollow links that are more resopnsible for putting money in bank acct’s then any dofollow from most artcile syndicator or directory. The only value they provide is SEO. That value is constantly dimininshed by time, algo changes and the fluctuating juice the link passes. IMO, shortsighted SEOs value links by an attribute in an href element…

Those nofollow exchanges really are annoying if you experienced them a couple of times. I know have a plug-in for my browser which automatically detects them, was a great step forward. Great guide however.

Google encourage all bloggers and sites to use nofollow for the links that you don’t want google to crawl/index. For this reason, by default wordperss and blogspot blogs comments are nofollow.
