Will Google penalize sites which only link using the nofollow attribute?
Loading...
Uploaded by GoogleWebmasterHelp on Mar 7, 2011
As many webmasters are linking only in nofollow killing the natural way of links do you think Google will penalize people who only link out with nofollow attribute in the future? Johan Tavard, Hua Hin, Thailand

@Nanowarex Is there any need for any video to be in 1080p? Why do you think people upload the highest resolution videos they can?

Thank you Google!

Wikipedia is quite an unreliable source of information because anyone could just modify it. False information can be easily posted.
-
@Borror0 Knol I think it was.

i only have 'temporary' and 'permanent' option under
"link? options"... no 'cloaked' option at all. any idea why? thx

If you run a blog, you should be using nofollow for comments, since you cant always catch the poor quality sites they may link to, and THAT can hurt your rankings.

@JohnTarrJr you're right, he did and when wikipedia changed all the editor selected links to no-follow it brought down some good sites in the rankings and pushed up -- duh -- wikipedia. I think it was an insult to their editors' selections. I changed all wikipedia links (through out 1,000s of page) to no-follow.

What's the name of the site he named? Nold?

@qwv803 You're just too fast for us! ;-) The video becomes available as soon as the first transcoding is complete, so you caught it before the other versions were finished processing. Don't worry, we upload in 1080p, so you should see that available soon.
