Know about No-follow link

Google would not follow or take the note of anchor text on a link which has an additional little bit of html code telling the search engine “nofollow” – and this code is generally found on blog comments.

The initiative behind no follow was to inform the search engines that you did not review or sanction this page the link is pointing at.

So you might wonder is there any point in receiving no follow links? Sure there is. Having a entire range of links pointing at your site is good for link spread, and I consider that to include no follows, though this point could not be definitively provided either way at present and there is a huge intense debate adjoining this in webmaster forums.

There is also an extra bonus from the follow links. Since these links are usually from blogs you would get some traffic from the comments that you leave – if the comments are applicable and interesting, you might even find that someone write a blog post and cite you – and it is a follow.
