Is it true that we can use No Follow Links to build back link? Does it mean that we still get the link juice from no follow links though it's not as big as do follow links? please kindly advice. Thank you

      I thought increasing traffic would make a link by default valuable.

        Hi V,

        This is a topic of hot debate in the SEO world and some argue that mixing dofollow and nofollow looks more 'natural' to Google.

        Don't forget that Yahoo and MSN (and presumably Bing) don't respond to that tag.

        IMO, if you are going to the trouble of backlinking, you may as well make your links dofollow and just keep at it.

          Thank you for your advise. Do you mean that though Google doesn't follow 'no-follow' links, we can still rank high in OTHER SERPs by these 'no-follow' links?

          I've used comment kahuna to search for do follow tags, but still the result is hardly satisfying. Almost all the links I've found by comment kahuna are no follow links, though I've set it to 'Comment Luv' choice setting. However in that case, if I'm not mistaken, so that we can rank high in the           SERP by these 'no-follow' links?

          I totally agreed with you!

          I think nofollow "might" carry some "trust", it is useless for increasing page rank and keyword ranking, however, I suspect it might help you build trust for Google...??

    From my own personal tests a while back nofollow and dofollow really didn't make a difference.

    However things may have changed.

    If i see a chance to get a backlink then i get it... if not then i of course don't.

    For me dofollow and nofollow is a load of crap... my guess is that they probably do have a difference but then only slightly.

    no follow has little value in SEO 's perspective
    but u know , a link is a connection from which people could connect to u
    so i guess it is not completely useless

      I was speaking with someone who built a new site and decided to do the nofollow backlinking route through blog comments.

      He only chose high PR pages on blogs to post his comments.

      The results, not long after when the PR update came around he got a PR of 2.

      So I presume that PR was still passed and if it was passed just maybe they are counted as a normal backlink too.

        Wow, this is very interesting! How many (in average) no-follow blog commentings did he do for one particular site?

    Hello,

    I think nofollow is only used to protect the webmaster. You still receive credit for having a link pointing to your site... The problem is the long term effects of these links... I don't know how well they withstand the test of time...

    Thank You,

    George

    you can use them, they just are not going to help you as much in the big picture. More for click through traffic and some of the lesser search engines.
