Visualization

Chris, it's interesting to add a "visualization tool" for Linscape since graph makes life easier. The more interesting is the share of 'nofollow', the 3% which add a lot of dust to the foggy linking atmosphere!

The Confusion of No Follow

Many people have a different concept of what a No Follow link actually is and does.

Some people say that is does allow links to go to your site but they just do not pass any authority or link juice to your site.

The others say it does as it says no follow - the link will not go to your site.

Thats a lot of nofollows!

Thats a lot of nofollows! Protection from nofollow linkbuilding is now essential.

I'm not exactly sure what

I'm not exactly sure what this means, but no-follow dosent sound good to me !

no follow tags and SEO

The searchenginejournal link above is really interesting. I didn’t realise that search engines treat no follow tags differently. The thing to remember is that Google has somewhere between 78% and 88% or the entire search engine market share (in the UK anyway) and because links with the "no follow" attribute aren’t followed by Googlebot they are of no use in an SEO campaign.

In the past I have spent lots of time submitting my websites to various web directories only to find out afterwards that the links are no follow – hence of no use to me when trying to build my inbound links in an SEO campaign as nearly all of my traffic comes through Google.

No-follow means the search

No-follow means the search engines dont follow the links... there is no link building.
