No... I'm not a rat. I have used the W3C sponsor page as an example in the past. Kgun has also posted about links from Orgs that he thought were paid (since they are labelled as so) that do pass juice. That is my problem with the use of the term "paid links" as what one person thinks is paid may not be the intent of the author. "NoFollow" is an attribute of the robots element but rel= like the align= could have several values for the attribute. It could be an attribute value of several elements if "recognized" as an attribute value by the spec. I prefer that attributes be under the control of the W3C (the recognized body) so that it doesn't get used at the whims of SE's and can be uniformly implemented. Presently rel="nofollow" is not used in the same way by all engines. So if I use the attribute for "paid links" when my intent is to trust the link then... I've needlessly buggered it for Yahoo! and MSN in order to follow the wishes of Google. IMO, not fair to anyone but Google and is actually expecting me to act in direct conflict with my true intent which is to indicate trust in the resource Quote:
Anyone and their brother can buy links and point them wherever they choose. So if I want to screw with you I won't bother cloaking etc. and risking my site. I'll develop a list of paid links submit to them and a few other places that will toxify your link profile and ensure negative effects are passed by the paid links. Remember no one checks to see if the submission came from the owner.

I personally don't think every sponsored link should pass PR juice, unless we want organic results saturated by those with the highest advertising budget. At the same time, webmasters should be trusted to use their own discretion to whom and to where they want to pass the rank juice, regardless if they were paid for it. Sponsoring should generally mean an exchange for traffic and exposure, but it should be up to the webmaster to decide if the ad is also something they think is worthwhile to give the metaphorical "vote" to (as google sees it). Even not being identified as sponsors -- whether or not it's ethical, the practice is nothing new and isn't unique to blogs. It happens in journalism, or any time a hidden endorsement happens where there's been some type of exchange of money or favors. I'm just concerned things may go too far in policing the activity online where it casts a darker shadow of disdain over all bloggers. After re-reading this I'm not sure about my wording. Hmm, I have a feeling I may have to explain myself more. Oh well.

Not sure what you're looking for by way of response, as the "nocrawl" directive is, in my mind, very easily understood. And, such understanding makes it clear that any links contained within a "nocrawl" page are never seen by the indexing engine, such that their attributes are therefore of no consequence.

So... you assume that those willing to buy links to place won't find another way to use that budget to pay their way to the top? IMO, that won't stop those that see budget as their advantage. The budget will just be used another way which benefits no one except the guy with deep pockets. Soon the only way for publishers to monetize their sites safely will be AdSense. Be careful what you wish for.

But that is not the point here. How can rat programs, link profiles etc can harm me when it comes to Google. I have a customer who is permanently attacked through endless adult (porn) sites, and she is steadily ranking at the top for her major key term over a year now, (since I SEO her site). You need facts? I can PM you. So can you be more specific? No philosophical discussions. Facts please.

First there is no "nocrawl" page. That "nocrawl" is only for links!!! Last time with a very simple example: I have an OBL called http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/some-random?googlebot=nocrawl In my robots.txt I have this rule: User-agent: Googlebot Disallow: *googlebot=nocrawl$ Google may see links to the pages with the nocrawl parameter, but they won’t crawl them. At most, they would show the url reference (the uncrawled link), but they wouldn’t ever fetch the page. Don't you think that is a clever alternative, than using that dirty no good "nofollow" attribute? If this is not clear now, I give up. Sorry bro.

Perhaps it was my terse phrasing, born of necessity owing to the aforementioned physical pain, which is momentarily somewhat abated, which gave rise to the confusion. My having earlier said that I was experiencing great difficulty typing, etal. owing to a pinched nerve was no jest; and, my plea for a straightforward explanation of your belief that I'd "missed" something was, for the same reason, equally earnest.

1) Thinks that it's common knowledge; 2) Thinks that it's wrong; or, 3) Could care less. Quote:
About 4 yrs. ago, with precisely the same symptoms, I learned that I have a degenerative cervical disc; not fully herniated, but sufficiently deformed so as to pinch nerve(s), thus causing debilitating pain from neck down through fingers. That episode lasted several weeks, requiring multiple sessions of TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) - or, perhaps it was EMS (Electronic Muscle Stimulation) - to interrupt the feedback loop caused by contracted muscles impacting the very nerves which cause the muscles to contract, followed by at-home self-administered cervical traction - which is a real bitch getting hooked up with but 1 good hand - so as to increase the spacing between the vertebrae, thus reducing the pressure on the discs. Sleep is also hard to come by, as there's no good way to keep the neck in a cocked position sufficient for somewhat relieving the pressure at the primary point of causation, so as do diminish the sharp pains long enough to fall into a deep sleep. As I earlier said, sh!t happens, then we die. In the mean time, if I seem to be a bit out of sorts, you now know the reason.

I have a quick question in the theme of this thread, maybe anyone can help. I may make my question a separate thread if it seems worthy of one, but it basically goes along with the post.
What about with Google Analytics. Like I said before, I believe spiders don't stop at "nofollow", they just don't pass rank. So theoretically, using nofollow within one's own site for the purposes of not passing rank to less-important pages shouldn't affect the data being calculated in one's Analytics reports. Sound right? (also give me shout if anyone thinks this is a topic for a different thread. I'll let you guys have a voice in this call.)

I could be wrong (wouldn't be the first time!), but nofollow shouldn't be factored in to fluxuations within internal traffic -- that's what I'm saying / thinking / asking if that sounds right. On a side note, traffic behavior has been strange lately. Not good or bad, just.... different.

The obvious answer is that no one has reported it or pointed toxic paid links at it. Second if they are an adult site then... IME, the adult sites play by different rules. I know SEO firms that got away with link manipulation for years. Before that they mirrored content and once again they are back in the top ten, for now, in the end they always get found out and disappear. IMO, they just overdue techniques to the point that they become filtered or weighted less.

I know of no method to programmatically calculate another sites PR "on the fly". If there IS a way, then one would need a nightly script/cron job to get the PRs from your external links and update your pages accordingly. If there is NO way, I see you manually visiting sites on a daily basis to check out their PR, and adjust your "Nofollow" code accordingly. Maybe others know of an auto-magic way... Lastly, I agree there is no relationship between a PR and its trustworthiness. You can have a PR 5 site and still be a crap (spam, marketing, data miner, etc) site. |
