Comments on: NOFOLLOW CSS Class – fake or new way to rip of link buyers? http://www.marketingfan.com/nofollow-css-class-fake-or-new-way-rip-link-buyers Fri, 02 Dec 2011 04:17:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jordy in Burnaby http://www.marketingfan.com/nofollow-css-class-fake-or-new-way-rip-link-buyers/comment-page-1#comment-23481 Jordy in Burnaby Fri, 01 Oct 2010 04:05:52 +0000 #comment-23481 I am not sure 'i follow' entirely. Many sites will have a navigation bar with links, which is visible on all pages on the site. Most of my visits come from organic searches that these links reach to, so they are clearly being indexed and ranked on my site. If Google in ignoring the footer links, I think that is excellent. My website host/developer has a link to themselves there, which I can remove unless I go with custom CSS, which is still a little beyond me. I think it would be a good idea to be able to make certain links nofollow, though, and I would like to do that with simple CSS if I could... I am trying to find that information... I was reading that as of 2009, applying lots of nofollow tags will dimish the page rank... Is this true? I am not sure ‘i follow’ entirely.

That is why I named the blog post "The End of Paid Links is Near" rather than "The End of Paid Links is Here" :) Essentially, I believe that this is Google's next-step in their struggle against Paid Links. I also believe that it will be an incredibly effective strategy that cannot be easily defeated without creating your own, trusted link network. Anyway, thanks for bringing this to light - I would hate that a lot of people think this was a hoax or something. The only reason why I made that picture in the first place was to show how easy it would be for Google to implement...

The problem is, if google starts to cracking down on link selling heavily (by using auotmated methods and ignoring footer and sitewide links), it will surely affect many good pages too, bring down the quality value of the results at lower end.
