No More NoFollow on Site

by Philippe on 4 June, 2009

Apparently there was some big changes in the Google Algorithme recently. I wrote a post months ago about how to use the nofollow attribute for internal linking (PR sculpting): be aware that this is apparently changing and the use of NoFollow internally does not seem to be advised or accepted by Google.

See below a pic from SEOmoz which explains in details what is now changing:

nofollow internal

 

This is a very good explanation from Seomoz. They also explained that 3% of the links on the web are NoFollow, and this could have a drastic change on the web. I’m not entirely sure for this one, as most of the NoFollow links are used for external linking in my opinion.

I also recommend this excellent post from Searchengineland.com which also explained this case.
