:Eric Enge: What we've been doing is working with clients and telling them to take pages like their about us page, and their contact us page, and link to them from the home page normally, without a NoFollow attribute, and then link to them using NoFollow from every other page. It's just a way of lowering the amount of link juice they get. These types of pages are usually the highest PageRank pages on the site, and they are not doing anything for you in terms of search traffic. - [http://www.stonetemple.com/articles/interview-matt-cutts.shtml Eric Enge Interviews Google's Matt Cutts], October 8, 2007 |
