Whether now google gives a link when we commented on the nofollow blog.because I read an article from the master seo.some say that nofollow blogs can also provide a backlink,but some say that nofollow blog does not give backlinks.please enlightenment!!

IMO, no follow links still counts as backlinks; they just dont pass link juice.

According to Matt Cutts "In Google, nofollow links don’t pass PageRank and don’t pass anchortext [*]."

According to me nofollow blogs gives back links but not count in google links also no any weighted so these links are not help to improve page rank. But it only helps if people find that blog post informative and read some comments and move on your link if your comment is good, but it's chance is very rare

Maybe it's helpless for PageRank, but it's helpful, at least it can get you traffic if you post it on high-related blogs or forums.

All links are helpful in terms of advertising. But nofollow links will not pass link juice over, nor anchor text, so in terms of optimisation, they're not so good.

In my experience, nofollow links gave me more traffic than those without the attribute.

And I'd like also to bring up what Google said, once again:

"Build your website for people, not robots."

Yeah, I've noticed that the more high-profile blogs, the more likely they are to have a nofollow policy. And yes, whilst you won't get any link juice passed over, the increased readership on those blogs will lead to more traffic, which is what SEO and promotion is about in the first place.

yeah, its very confusing... can't tell who is saying the truth or just misleading the proper SEO.

**michaelstockman** · 03-04-2011, 07:38 AM

It's true that they don't pass link juice, but they can help you get indexed, if they are on relevant sites they can help help with your authority and make your site look "more real", and as people already mentioned, they will bring actual visitors to your webpage, and that can only help your rankings

This is the problem with webmaster forums and all these self proclaimed SEO "experts". The forums are great to gain knowledge, but these idiot "experts" that have no idea what they are talking about spew out crap all over the place.

As per my knowledge, NoFollow Links from high PR (6 or more) will be beneficial. And it may help you to drive good traffic to your site..

best thing to do is go out and test the theories - nothing like a good experiment to prove people wrong

I already know what to do, how to do it, and how to not get penalized for it.

If people are too lazy to do their own research and rather listen to some dribble some SEO "expert" spews out...let them. When they get penalized and banned from index they will learn their mistakes the hard way.

Google does not give any importance to nofollow link, it just for link popularity..

**suichiro** · 03-04-2011, 03:48 PM

No follow links are actually no value on keyword rankings. But there are few no follow links that are good source of traffic.

**SmallBusinClick** · 03-04-2011, 06:12 PM

In order to cut out all the fog, it pays to run the link in question through yahoo site explorer. Unfortunately, I could not post yahoo site explorer link because the quantity of posts I have so far is less than 50.

NoFollow links are good or bad links depending on what you expect from them. They don't pass link juice, but they can bring loads of traffic. It does not pay to ignore NoFollow links.

ALL links could be a source of traffic, whether they have a rel="nofollow" attribute, hidden behind a robots nofollow meta element, or on a page blocked by robots.txt

None of those links will pass any kind of "value" but they can ALL send traffic.
