Ryan Deiss Authority Codes report and No Follow

I was wondering this same thing after reading Ryan's report. I had to do a double-take. Do we really not even have to worry about nofollow anymore?

Search engines do not buy stuff people buy stuff and if all you do is go after do follow links just for the sake of google you are only selling your self short

@jaywilsonjr you are right as far as i know only google pays attention to do follow.

If you are leaving quality content and comments on high powered , high traffic blogs and website then you should not worry about do follow or no follow as the average internet user does not know what that means, you should be more worried about your content being quality enough to drive that reader to your website.

• Google is not the only source of traffic on the internet.
• Backlinks serve two purposes getting you ranked high in the search engines , and also people will click on your backlinks to get to your site.

The time wasted on checking if a site is dofollow is time that could have been spent creating quality content and embedding your link in it.

If your content is compelling enough to get your link clicked on and it drives just one person to your site cause they are interested in what you are offering and it eventually leads that one person to either buy your product or opt in to your list then that single link might just make you a lot more money than 100 do follow links built soley for spiders.

As i said before spiders do not buy stuff or opt in to your list people do.

I understand that some marketers would say that you should provide both do follow and no follow backlinks. This is so that the search engines see a more 'natural' growth of backlinking.

Just saved this and John above came in with the save comment.

Great minds thik a like.

Where do you naturally get links that are no-follow? The only time a link should be no follow is if it is an advertisement on your site and you do not vouch for the advertiser. ie paid links or user controlled links.

Comments and profiles aren't a natural form of getting links. Do you see the big authority sites out posting comments or create profiles? The authority sites get links written inside quality relevant content. It is very rare to see these as no-follow.

The only place that would be an exception is Twitter. If Google wants to take into account social buzz they can create exceptions in their rules quite easily.

If your concern is only achieving a higher page rank, then nofollow links don't help, at least based on the past couple of years of data various people have collected about Google searches.

However, Google made a major change in June. It was a huge infrastructure change, and a fairly small algorithm change. But the point of the infrastructure change as to enable drastic algorithm changes in the future. Google is moving to real time search, and it looks like traffic has/will soon become a factor in determining SERP's.

And Ryan is not talking about getting nofollow links on a bunch of PR0 blogs, or even PR1 or PR2. He's talking about placing links on PR5, PR6, PR7 sites. It works, it's free and it's dead easy. These sites have lots of traffic, so they are going to bring visitors to your site, regardless.

Yes, dofollow links are still better. But honsetly, for the type of links he's taking about in this report, it's makes a whole lot more sense to just take the link and not even bother checking the follow status.

What I find when I try to comment on these blogs is that unless I am using my root domain name I get a blank page. I am already no. 1 for root domain...I want to rank for kw for other pages.
But I pop in the full URL of pages on my site and the KW and get the blank white page.

So how effective is that?

Can anyone answer my question?
