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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
