This old chestnut again ??
Look, forget about what Google or any of their puppets tells you in public. Links work, period. Nofollow doesn’t stop the value, only the passing of PageRank and anchor text.

I have just started link building and there many articles around getting links from sites like youtube, but they no follow so i take it that it’s not worth doing then, can some one let me know if this is correct.

thank you so much for clearing this up to people, It really annoys me how people here something like “no-follow are a waste of time” and then pass this information around the internet.

“but matt curtis says…” Are you out of your mind? Because one person says something it doesn’t make it right! If matt curtis told you to jump off a cliff for some extra page rank would you listen to him?

The reason i am sorry angry is i have spent the last year doing an experiement by trying to rank medium competition sites with only no-follow backlinks.

And guess what.. It worked OMG what a suprise

“I think google are pretty clear that nofollow has no effect on your ranking.”

Do you really think that Google would just pic up a mic and say “listen spammers no-follow do work so don’t worry about it”

Of course not! I own two SEO companys and nearly 300 websites to date, I have never concentrated on getting only do-follow links and all my websites rank high (apart from the few i have neglected”

Now think about what i have just said above, I could be telling you this because no-follow are a waste of time and I want people to be doing the wrong thing so they find it hard trying to outrank my websites. Just like matt curtis could be telling you no-follow are a waste of time because he doesn’t wan’t you to outrink his websites. How will you ever know?

I don’t agree that nofollow links pass any fraction of page rank. But I totally agree with it being a myth that nofollowed links are worthless for Google. Nofollows only block pagerank and anchor text from passing, but they don’t stop authority and trust signals, which are way more important than pagerank.

Your input on the do follow , no follow debate is enlightening. Using the Twitter example really made me reconsider the value of no follow.

There are a few other Seo topics you cover here but are you not speculating too. Strong Rumours , says one paragraph . Really . Does anyone really know the facts

“Another thing these ebooks can contain is misinformation such as the “NoFollow” myth.”

“It’s very hard (and a little costly) to prove the NoFollow myth”

Surely you can’t shun ‘misinformation’ while posting content that hasn’t been proved either way?
