[Search Engine Roundtable] Can The Nofollow Tag Hurt Ones Rankings?: I have studied the effect of nofollowed links and I am pretty positive that they work fine with MSN and I am also pretty positive that even though Yahoo follows them and shows them as backlinks they do nothing at all, same with Google no affect whatsoever.
[How To Make My Blog] Google changes PageRank flow: Why you should use an iframe in blog ...: The only reason I don't like the nofollow changes are that I think nofollow links did used to count a little but, but now iframe links don't count at all(or so 'they' say), so now commenting on other peoples blogs for traffic and links isn't as effective(but still is effective for the traffic if you do it well and a lot).
[Search Engine Land: News About Search Engines & Search Marketing] How To Use Twitter As A Content Distribution Network: I realize that due to the different Twitter clients, web apps, desktop apps, or any of the hundreds of ways to post a Tweet to Twitter, that most likely the short URL would be changed during a retweet, thus diluting my attempt to track the viral activity. To counteract this, I set up a script to check the Twitter search API for Tweets about my article periodically each day.

[Search Engine Roundtable] Why Do People Nofollow Unimportant Pages?: If I have pages B & C (which are KW targeted pages) to link to from page A - then passing influence to PP/T&C seems wasted. I am potentially lowering my rank on pages B/C for seemingly no gain - unless there is revenue tied to traffic that searches for ' Privacy Policy.' Plus, given how "tail" the phrase would be - you would end up ranking for the phrase anyway.
[Link Development WebmasterWorld] My Link Building Plan: I understand the reasoning behind it, to prevent indexing of similar content within a site, but in the real world there is no penalty for that and putting a noindex (but with a follow) on the category hub is a bad practice based on hearsay and theorizing, definitely not on real-world experience. Category hubs are some of the best performing pages in the SERPs because they contain a little about everything related to the category/topic, more than the individual pages themselves, so they make great pages to rank for the two word top level keyword phrases that define the category.
[Social Marketing Tactics by Chris Lang] Digg and SEO: So I didn’t buy the script but rather going for more effective link building strategies that may result a top 10 spot in Google. Social bookmarking so far I think is a good traffic strategies but not so much of the SEO, since most of them are no follow or got some redirection set up which block the search engine spiders.
