A Criticism of NoFollow Links: Why You Should Not Use Them

Barry Wise[Barry Wise] Unfortunately, the use of nofollow tags has really impeded the original concept behind the open and free exchange of ideas on the Internet.  Since so much traffic is dependent on Google today (and one can argue that the Internet as a whole is way too overly dependent on Google) the excessive use of nofollow tags hurts everyone’s chances of ranking well in Google.  And by everyone, I mean the majority of website owners which own relatively small sites and blogs.  As a result, there is less traffic to all our sites, which means less exchange of ideas.

Knol's Nofollowing Of Links

Google Blogoscopedhttp://blogoscoped.com/archive/2008-07-24-n22.html [Google Blogoscoped] In a Knol article, at first glance, you won’t see the nofollow attribute if you look for it in links. There’s also nothing in the robots.txt which would prevent spidering of Knol content, and in fact, filling knowledge gaps in Google results was one of the proclaimed main aims for Google to build Knol.

add NoFollow to WordPress Blogroll

microblog[microblog] As suggested by Google, it’s best to use rel=”nofollow” to avoid any potential backlash from the external links in the blogroll. However, I should also mention that there is some very strong criticism against it as well.

Google Sites Jumps the rel=nofollow Shark

Kevin Burton's NEW FeedBloghttp://feedblog.org/2008/02/28/google-sites-jumps-the-relnofollow-shark/ [Kevin Burton's NEW FeedBlog] I’m glad Kevin is saying nofollow is not the web (outside of the blogs and comments it was designed for) and in this world view you can only give Google Juice and it doesn’t give back. Such a view and action only favors those in a dominant network position.

stephen commenting on Sculpting with Nofollow Works Pretty Darn Well

SEOmoz Blog Commentshttp://www.seomoz.org/blog/sculpting-with-nofollow-works-pretty-darn-well#jtc47411 [SEOmoz Blog Comments] BTW - I do certainly realize that many other factors could have affected increased search referral numbers, and thus this test isn't entirely scientific. However, our search traffic going all the way back to May of 2007 was increasing at an infintesimal rate (Weeks 20, 21 and 22 of 2007 [May-June] had an average of 12,000 search referrals) and this is the only structural change we've made since that time.
