Default Re: Starting a Yahoo Group

Well i just went to wiki and guess what i found?

Quote:
<td><b><span class="plainlinks"><a href="http://en.wikinews.org/" class="external text" title="http://en.wikinews.org/" rel="nofollow">Wikinews</a></span></b><br />
Source code is FULL of no follow. Which just means you wont get an PR trailed down, but if they post your link, you still MIGHT get traffic!

I dont know who started this NOFOLLOW rage, but it is good to use on blogs and things like wiki. I think the MASTER PLAN which i call the MASTER MIND FOR DUMMIES, because its another EBOOK of so called SEO tactics, with SOME good advice and most of the rest is ****. In any case heres the STUPID thing in using the nofollow tag: Its believed to stop the SE SPIDER /bot from leaving your site to go to the linked site, and filtering any pr you MIGHT have to that site, or keeping you from VOTING or approving that site. STUPID thing is this will only work for NEW Links. Chances are the bots ALREADY have the link and have gone to it anyway. Chances are the bot will KEEP this link anyway even tho you didnt vote for it, and go to it at another time. Like most good things eventually even Matt Cutts will be eating his approval of using the NOFOLLOW after it has been spammed to death and inappropriately used.

If you dont want to deal with it, then DONT put links on your site that you havent visited or approved!

Which goes back to the BASIC SEO principals, do whats right and tried, true methods and not the GIMMICKY stuff and you will still come out ahead eventually!
