Nofollow internal links
-
Hey Moz friends,
Need some advise of yours.
Trying to add new products and content to my website regularly(nowadays a bit more) to be able to have more internal links and attact the visiters.
Figured out most websites dont use nofollow internal links. Are we doing something wrong? this internal nofollow links are affecting the anchor text i assume. Any advantage to make that links follow?
Thanks in advance

To the best of my understanding about seo, i consider applying the best practice. If you have a choice of applying best practice by avoiding nofollow from internal links then to my view you should apply that
Refer case study from Tedster on :- http://www.webmasterworld.com/google/4161726.htm

As i understood there is no actual benefit to use nofollow internal links. But want to be clear is it gonna be harmfull to use nofollow internal links in our case i want to explain how we built it.
We have categories which are linking to our products.. And each product has three links from that url(one from title text, one from photo and last one with button called
detail
). Detail button is nofollow. Is there any harm to keep it that way or we have to make that button follow?Thanks once more

Rather to my view, no internal link should be nofollow. At best - if the page is of low authority you may noindex the page. Nofollow are good for external page or domain. However, In Internal links - There is no additional value to mark nofollow - this is what been categorically told by Matt Cutt - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVOOB_Q0MZY
Trust - will assist with what the webmaster guidelines says - no internal link should be nofollow

Thanks for info so far
Obviously nofollow ones are no important keywords linke details, login. creat an account button
And as an example my home page www.frutiko.cz Follow 60 and nofollow 14 internal link. Percentage of being high is a problem? Even that keywords are no important shell i follow that links ?
Thanks

Hi,
It is my understanding that having followed internal links will pass on domain authority to specific areas of the website and increase the individual pages authority. If you have them no followed, no/little authority will be passed on to those pages. Obviously, the higher the PA the better the chance of you ranking for specific keywords on those pages.

Hello
If I understood it properly, you're wondering if you should use follow vs nofollow.
Actually it depends of your page and strategy.
Nofollow will give indication to Google on the page -it looks like they crawl also the nofollow- but will not transfer link juice.
I usually do it in page where I want to reduce the number of outgoing links. So less important information are linked to no-follow.
Do you have any specific example ?

Nasty links
Hi My first q on here (hoorah!), and it's about links (boo!). I've got what appears to be a handful (but worryingly, increasing in number) of links pointing to my site like this: http://condos.mrgulffront.com/florida-condos-for-sale/320-scenic-gulf-drive-miramar-beach-fl-32550-mls-567591/ I've made contact with the sites concerned, and had only one positive response who flatly denied all knowledge of it. The issue (as far as I can see) is that as in the above example the links (on the bottom right in the grey box) are forever changing so not always visible. Can anyone offer any guidance as to these kinds of nasty links.... I'm right at the v beginning on this "path of seo understanding" so please don't assume prior knowledge! Thanks in advance.... tom

Is purchasing internal page links from directories worth it?
Since data suggests that only the first link on a page to a singular URL is counted, are the deep links purchased from directories worth the money/provide any value?

Free link on a Paid Link Blog
Hi there, I have been doing some outreaching, and managed to have a blog post accepted on a authority blog. They included links to my website, and I was very pleased with the placement. However, having browsed through the site, I was worried to see that they openly admit they allow 'reviews' of websites, with backlinks included, for $50 per review. I am worried I might be penalised without actually doing anything wrong. I did not pay for my link, but the link has been placed on a site which openly admits they accept payment for links. Should I be worried? Should I ask them to take it down? To date I have been told countless times by bloggers I am outreaching that if I pay $10, $50, $100 etc I can write a blog post. I have never accepted because of the risk of penalization. Now, unwittingly, I am linked to from a paid link site with a blog post that would look like I have paid for it because of the placement and style of back link. What do you think? Thanks,
