Nofollow backlinks showing up in Google
I had always assumed that a no followed link, as well as passing no pagerank and not counting the anchor text, would NOT be shown in the link:mysite.com in Google. However on doing some keyword research on my competitors I am finding a few no follow links having been indexed.
Has this always been the case? Seems a little odd to me seeing as a link with no follow should have no positive attributes given to it. |

Re: Nofollow backlinks showing up in Google
As I explained in another thread, nofollow links have been and continue to be indexed by Google.

Re: Nofollow backlinks showing up in Google
Yeah, No-follow basically tells Google what YOU think about that link, however they make up their own mind.....

Re: Nofollow backlinks showing up in Google
I am pretty sure that nofollow backlinks still carry weight in terms of SEO. Basically, a nofollow backlink will still help you in terms of SEO and ranking in the SERPS.
Now, I am no SEO expert and do not claim to be one. However, I'm sure that there are many others who would agree with my take on nofollow backlinks. |

Re: Nofollow backlinks showing up in Google
As far as my knowlege, NOFOLLOW links are counted as a link still, but they do not pass the PR of the source page....... It has less weight than a DOFOLLOW link...

Re: Nofollow backlinks showing up in Google

"Now let’s talk about the rel=nofollow attribute. Nofollow is method (introduced in 2005 and supported by multiple search engines) to annotate a link to tell search engines “I can’t or don’t want to vouch for this link.” In Google, nofollow links don’t pass PageRank and don’t pass anchortext [*]." It says in plain text here that the a link with the nofollow attribute does not pass page rank and does not pass anchor text. Apparently though, they do count as backlinks! | |
