Hello
I have a website with 2000 nofollow links backlinks and about 20 follow links. It is currently ranking 11<sup>th</sup> on Google. The websites that are outranking it have lower ranking stats and in some cases only 2 follow links.
Most of the nofollow links are blog comments, could this be what is dragging down my stats.
The only factor my website is worst on is the number of server requests per load, which is 194 as it is a theme.
Blog comments can be very difficult to remove; I created these several years ago before I knew too much about SEO. Most of them are on other websites in same niche.
Would I be best to ask website owners to delete my comments or restart on a new domain.
Thanks
Rob
