Comments on: Do Follow VS Nofollow – What Loses? http://www.iwoodpecker.com/do-follow-vs-nofollow-what-loses/ Tue, 13 Jul 2010 04:09:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Robert Bravery http://www.iwoodpecker.com/do-follow-vs-nofollow-what-loses/comment-page-1/#comment-183 Robert Bravery Wed, 23 Dec 2009 08:02:31 +0000 http://www.iwoodpecker.com/?p=1678#comment-183 As far as I understand, the nofollow tag is only affected by Google. I do not see any reason why a doFollow blog should have a higher pagerank. Perhaps only because more people are linking to it. But then are they linking to it because it has good content or because it is a dofollow blog. Strictly speaking do follow should help the readers and commentator, not the blog itself. If both blogs have the same exceptional quality content, then the linking should be similar and therefore the PR similar. Also could it be that the higher traffic stats is as a result of a dofollow page, that draws people to the page instead of the content itself? But that's theory, it seems that people are after link juice Good comparison none the less. But it would certainly make sense for a do follow blog, if possible, for the community at large. I wrote a great article on this very subject. (No links on comments) As far as I understand, the nofollow tag is only affected by Google.

It should be right to your home page. About your PR. I believe, that now is everything right. 3 pr with ~111k of Alexa. That's quite normal. Jayce,

I’ve changed your comment backlink. It should be right to your home page.

About your PR.

I believe, that now is everything right. 3 pr with ~111k of Alexa. That’s quite normal.

But PR dropped after enabled it. And stay there even I removed dofollow. :( But I do agree that dofollow will bring more traffic. :) My blog was a dofollow blog last time.
