Food for thought:
Quote: In the recent SEOMoz Search Engine Ranking Factors report, a correlation exists between ranking and the presence of no follow links.The ratio of no follow to do follow links appears to be a search engine ranking factor. If do follow links greatly outnumber no follow links, the site or page link profile may seem unnatural. The search engines expect that in the normal course of link getting, links from both do follow and no follow sites are normal.
If your site link profile has a very high ratio of do follow links, you may need to get more no follow links from social media sites, no follow blogs and other sources to balance your profile SEO – A Link Is A Link?
So according to the above, all that time you spent trying to find sites that do not use the nofollow attribute was a waste. Ive said many times in these threads that a link, on a good site that is relevent to your niche, is a fantastic tool. Dont worry about PR, dont worry if its dofollow or nofollow....just get the link and get those TARGETED visitors.
That article will cause dismay amongst people that constantly buy links.

That article will cause dismay amongst people that constantly buy links. hi Snooks,
i do agree with you.
one should concentrate on link building & don't take into account if the link is a "no-follow" or "do-follow".
the bottom line is that a link pointing back to your domain name. It only makes sense that Google would be checking this type of thing. For one it is an easy thing to check for and two probably a very good indicator of manufactured backlinks. I wonder to what degree it adversely affects a page's ranking? Just one more nebulous factor I suppose. Quote: Originally Posted by zelthost Hello,

Which makes sense because avoiding nofollow links is not natural link building. Some experiments prove Google does follow the nofollow link if necessary.
I can't point to a link now, but I read a man created a page and only provided a link to it from Wikipedia (nofollow link). The page was crawled and indexed three days after. There are have been lots of discussions about whether no-follow links help with regard to ranking. According to this video by Matt Cuts, He himself says in the video that no-follow links don't really help as far as ranking is concerned. But, while searching on the internet about no-follow link I stumbled upon this article, the one who wrote it proves that no-follow links help sites to get better ranking.
Based on my own experience, I would say that no-follow links can certainly help a site as far ranking is concerned. Although many say that no-follow links are ignored by spider, but the truth is no-follow links do get indexed. No-follow links is also important when building back-links just to make your links look more natural.

Here is the article: http://www.michellemacphearson.com/d...s-count-redux/ I believe that links with nofollow attributes are no less useful in keyword shaping. A authoritative niche site that utilizes no follow attributes is just as important in providing relevance to keywords as a regular link.

That article will cause dismay amongst people that constantly buy links. A person after my own heart.
I would prefer a link from a site where there's a high degree of relevance and a much more social presence likely to attract visitors to my sites anyday over a crappy and spammed "dofollow" link.
Targeted visitors from a site in my same niche with an interest to what I have to say will pay some dividends to me rather than anything unrelated and being a mere "curiosity" click. I haven't really given that much effort or work on searching for do follow sites where I could get my link on. I had however spent more time searching for good websites - relevant, gets crawled nicely, has good traffic, has good content - I find it that even though they are no follow links they still give in good traffic. I've always followed the rule " if a link opportunity presents itself, take it!"
Its working so far, within a couple weeks my site has gone from alexa ranking 14million+ to just over 5.5million
Its also ranking first in google for a very few select keywords
"Discretionary price action" being one of them
