What, Why, When and How to Use rel="nofollow"

What is rel="nofollow"?


It tells crawlers to map out links with  rel="nofollow" out of your link graph and thereby stopping the distribution of page rank to it.

What does Matt Cutts say about rel="nofollow"?
Why and When to use rel="nofollow"?
Its clear that if its your internal links, you'd want page rank to flow all over.  But with external links which you just happen to mention and don't really want to spread Google juice or page rank, then you can use rel="nofollow".

What does Matt Cutts say about when to use rel="nofollow"?
How to Use rel="nofollow"?
Just add  rel="nofollow" (no space in between)
<a href="http://seosemblog.byethost14.com" rel="nofollow">Seo Blog</a>
In summary, rel="nofollow" can increase or decrease your page rank depending on how you use it.  Remember to be mindful so you don't exert too much effort in it and end up not having good page rank results.

<!-- Call SyntaxHighlighter -->
<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>

  • when posting you need to add the <pre> tags still and identify the class after “brush:”see list of class
This offers more functionalities like being able to view source,copy to clip board and print.  The code lines are also identified by numbers.
4.  Google Petrify
  •  Go to Blogger Dashboard>Design>Edit HTML
    • paste the following code above </head>
    • modify <body> to <body onload=”prettyprint ()”>
    •  when posting you need to add the <pre class =”prettyprint” > tags
1
2
3
<pre class="prettyprint">
your code here
</pre>
Your code will be presented within a code box with colorful text codes for easy identification similar to github:gist
The method you choose depends on your preference.  I prefer github:gist for convenience but it you like your code to be prettier then better
