Hi, in my WP blog sites I add re="nofollow" to all external links, and make pages no follow so these arent indexed by google. I cant find an answer on whether I should make internal links [linking 1 post in the blog to another post same blog] also no follow.
Am hoping someone can give me a ruling on this please. Cheers Bruce

    No follow blogs are just useful for getting the traffic, we can't get the back links and high PR with the no follow blogs.

  • YES. you are absolutely right. i am agree with you..
  • What is going on recently does no body answer a question?

    If you want to pass juice through your site to one more important page over another then make that important page link follow and the other no follow. Search for "page rank sculpture" and in "internal linking"
  • Yes, All links will be nofollow.

    • nofollow does not mean noindex.

      And it really does not mean no follow. All it does is
      tag a link as untrusted so no PR is passed.

      Not sure what you are doing to make a page nofollow.
      That's pretty useless. Why wouldn't you want your pages
      indexed? Because they are full of spam? Then you noindex
      them, not nofollow. That's a misuse of nofollow and does
      not mean anything.

      Instead of nofollow, which means you are at first glance
      allowing spammed, untrusted links on your site, you
      should turn off comments.

      People who come to your blog and leave links are there
      for no other reason than leaving links. No matter what
      anyone says about leaving a great comment, adding value,
      or other BS.

      Do you care about people leaving comments, or the people
      leaving money?

  • no follow will not pass link juice but it will still going to get index in google
  • Generally we do not make nofollow settings, so there is not much on the benefits of other sites, other sites you believe will not be exchanged with
  • Nofollow is useful only for page ranking, to increase traffic is a little good.
  • if you are getting lots of comments or you are guest blogging site, than you can do all links no-follow. It will be good to maintain page rank of your blog.
  • paulgl is right. But beyond that, you don't need to nofollow your own posts. Having dofollow internal links can help your higher PR posts pass on some juice to the lower PR posts. And they're all indexed anyway. Nofollowing your own internal links is just cutting off the PageRank flow and leaving them all to fend for themselves individually, which isn't exactly terrible, but why bother?
