good thing I just found out about it, would have been a waste of time to write a quality content for this site and get no link juice. Although visitors referred do count, we were not banking on Squidoo for anything more than link juice. Time to get real serious in guest blogging. I just need to network and that is the hardest step as far as my research shows...
Any ideas where a good writer with very few people in his network of fellow bloggers can get a good start at this?

i agree keri, i really think it will separate the poor content from the good & relevant content.
hope it works out for the best for squidoo and its members

Thanks for pointing this out! A lot of unhappy people on the thread, but among SEOs that have retweeted the announcement on Twitter, there seems to be a positive reaction that this will help reduce the incentive to create low-quality content.

No real surprise. Any site that gets abused eventually goes from dofollow to nofollow. I'm pretty sure at one point Twitter, Wiki, Pinterest and more of the main sites were follow ... but then it gets abused like crazy and then boom, nofollow.

So bad. I got few backlinks from them. Now all of them are no follow.

More "new" root domains or more pages on older domains?
I have been slowly building links via personal/professional networking, press from art shows, blogging, and such. I work with several non related domains & local blogs & press outlets, it is pretty easy for me to add a few new pages of content along with text links. Or should I just concentrate on getting links from totally "new" domains that have never linked to me before?

How to track/find new organic backlinks to your domain
I use Google Alerts to track domain-level backlinks (via the link:http://www.example.com trick) but is there a way to track/be alerted of long urls, not just the domain, without having to set an alert for each specific url?

Link building and directory links to a new site
I have three new sites all hosted on the same server in the same public html folder and each site is in a different folder inside the public html folder. These sites are a listing of live music venues in different cities in Texas. Should I link these sites together to increase page rank to each other and also put key search phrases in the anchor text and place these links in the text in the center of each page of each site to make the links more effective? Also, because the sites are about a year old they don't have many inlinks yet. If i submit them to about 50 directories will Google not like this because there are way more directory links than natural links? I've been told that it is trouble to have more than about 50% directory links compared to natural links. Thanks in advance for your answers! Take care,
