Backlink from the BBC website

niplag · 06-08-2011, 03:44 AM

I have just found out that the bbc website has a link to my blog. Whilst this is great, it is a no follow. I just wondered if this will have any effect on my PR. Any thoughts?

No follow don't pass link juice so it won't help to increase your PR.

Even though with that said, many people have reported an increase in rankings from a burst of backlinks from all no follow sites.

So make of that what you will.

Back link through the BBC website is great. Through this you can divers numbers of visitors on your website. BBC gives you nofallow link but through this you can divert huge traffic on your website. It will also help full to improve your website PR.

Coming from such a high authority site, I'd be amazed if Google didn't show you some love.

Thanks for your comments guys. I know that in theory that a no follow link does not pass on link juice, but I have heard that this is not always the case. Anyway, it is nice to have some traffic from the link.

Still a link back from the BBC how bad. Even if it is nofollow.

You probaly get Traffic as it the BBC. But I wound't expect a massive on rush of your rankings going sky High!

Try participating in the forums too. Registering to a forum, putting a signature doesn't count as a good link. Participating makes a good link back!

Google normally does not follow links if there is nofollow attribute. But you can get dofollow backlinks at BBC as I think there are some people getting dofollow backlinks from bbc but these are reactively moderated so try to put some value so that no one can flag your comment.

Out of interest, how much traffic are you generating directly?

Even if you don't get any value directly from the BBC, other website owners will now see you as an authority and link to you.

I have see a recent spike in traffic, but this has been mainly due to my revamping the site and doing something with it.( I changed it over to wordpress last weekend). It is an aged site with a news type style, and it seems the articles I have written have been picked up since the revamp. I have three inbound links from the bbc. I actually want more content and am happy to put up unique articles and give backlinks.
The site is dispenseinfo.com if you want to take look.

There are many newspapers online where you can put comments to news stories coming in on both sides of the Atlantic, I use a few in the UK.

I didn't comment on the bbc site, but they must have picked up an article via an rss feed and linked back to my site.

I have a backlink from CNN to my website but I don't see a jump in Google. I do see a lot of visitors from this link though.
