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 ?

About Link Earning?
I own an e-commerce store and I am get started with my SEO strategy. I know content is extremely important when it comes to link building, however for an e-commerce store what can I do as far as content. So far my only idea is blog posts. It's a furniture store so videos are really hard to do. The blog posts relate to home decor and interior design. My question is if people are going to be linking to my blog, will this help my website rank for product terms? The blog is part of the website, websitename.com/blog.

How do I find links that link to several competitor sites?
I want to find linking pages that link to several of my competitors. Those are likely to be lists of tools I can also add my website to. My application is a dashboard tool/kanban board. So if I find a page linking both to say kanbannery.com and kanbanflow.com it will be likely to be a collection of links to kanban tools, ad my application can be relatively easy added. Magestic SEO has a "clique hunter" - is there anything similar in MOZ suite of tools?

What is a natural link?
Hi everyone, I'm trying to better understand what is meant by a natural link and would appreciate any assistance. Doing some competitor link analysis I've noticed a web developer who has created a directory for all its customers. This is not a directory in the traditional sense of being of use to an end user, but to my untrained eyes, it looks like an internal directory used solely for the purpose of link building. For all I know this might be perfectly good practice in the industry, but as a beginner, I'm attempting to get an understanding of things. My question is, what precisely is meant by a natural link? If the above scenario is all ok, whereby there are businesses in the same field of work, but ultimately could be in any given location, on a directory, are they natural links? Do these kind of directories that don't service an end user, exist if the common feature between them is say location only, or an seo agency only? Appreciate I could be completely out of kilter on this, but it seems the benefit on SERPs is pretty significant for something that seems pretty "unnatural" to me? Any guidance would be appreciated...tom

Internal links
It can be bad for the site if I use various items to create links to a page that represents a specific keyword? The articles are relevant and anchor text is not only done on the keyword, but also by using words near the keyword in question.

When do my links show up?
For the last two weeks I have been working on linkbuilding. I have downloaded competitors link reports and started contacting or submitting links. In the last two weeks I have gotten about 50-60 or so. In the newest report it shows I went up four c-blocks. Why is that? It is kind of discouraging.

Back Link: Is LinkedIn keywords in profile good Link building strategy?
I distribute industrial products B2B with e commerce. I have a personal profile on LinkedIn. I listed the products I sell and I could have all my partners and associates list my web site on their profiles. Do search engines review LinkedIn personal profiles or company profiles and is it a good marketing strategy to have my web site, keywords, and my two largest selling products on LinkedIn?
