Tons and tons of nofollow links
-
Ahrefs is showing that I have 1,278 no follow links.
Many of these are from a site that I'm totally unfamiliar with (growmap.com) and don't see any reference to my site on. Perhaps I left a comment on it at some point?
But more than 800 of my nofollow links are from this site.
Is this going to hurt me?
Thanks. My url is http://www.farnorthkennel.com if curiosity comes about.

Hi Joshua,
Stay calm! Nothing to worry about here. Google ignores (that may not be true 100% of the time, but let's say that it is...) nofollow links - that's the point of them!
You wont gain from them - but neither will you be punished.
On OpenSiteExplorer I can't see any real data there, so I can't look any deeper than that.
Hope that helps!

Sitewide links
Hi there, We operate about a dozen websites that are part of the same parent company. All these websites are in the same vertical, and link among each other in the footer section. The anchor for each link is the brand name, so we are merely doing it to show what other products the parent company has to offer. My question is: do you think this is still advisable, or it might trigger a penalty? Also, what would you choose between: Sitewide footer links from each site to the other sites. A single footer link on the homepage from each site to the other sites. A presentation page on each website, one click away from the homepage, which presents the company's other websites. Thanks.

Strategy When Building Links
When you build links do you keep track of every single link that you put out there? Or do you start and what to see what shows up in OSE? Some of these links take time so you would have to go back and check to see if it stuck. Im just trying to put together a procedure to follow. Also spread they out correctly, org, .net ,. com blogs, blog posts. etc Just curious how everyone else does it, so its easier to manage & track. Thanks !!
