Hi,
We've recently made some of our links "nofollow" and I was wondering how this affects internal pages, like:
-will Google still index pages to which only "nofollow" links lead? so, there is no "no index" in robots.txt... just "nofollow" links pointing to them...
-will they have PR 0 (zero) if only "nofollow" links point to them?
-if so, then isn't this bad overall? many of our pages will have PR zero/less importance do to "nofollow", then when they link back to our important content pages, the it won't count that much, is that true?
I am beginning to think that "nofollow" is potentially suicidal. From what i heard follow tag it's taken in consideration for overall "keywords rank" but
1. do not influence the shown PageRank of the page
2. google will not crawl those pages I think backlinks won't count from pages cut off by nofollow links... I think nofollow links will help to get good traffic for the website and dofollow links will be help to get pr for the website If above statements are true then why I see backlinks from a nofollow website for me in Google Webmaster Tool?
Most of peoples must experiencing this? Why Google shows Nofollow Backlinks in Google Webmaster Tool? So.... There were made some tests and the results are:
NOFOLLOW
1. Do not pass toolbar pagerank
2. Do not pass traffic for search engines (SE won't visit you much more often because of them)
but
1. they help for the non-shown big rank for each keywords.
Got my point? Quote: How does Google handle nofollowed links?
In general, we don't follow them. This means that Google does not transfer PageRank or anchor text across these links. Essentially, using nofollow causes us to drop the target links from our overall graph of the web. However, the target pages may still appear in our index if other sites link to them without using nofollow, or if the URLs are submitted to Google in a Sitemap. Also, it's important to note that other search engines may handle nofollow in slightly different ways.

nofollow - Interpretation by the individual search engines - Wikipedia
What you are trying to do is called PageRank sculpting.
