Do-Follow & No-Follow Links: Difference & Implementation Guide


In Search Engine Optimization techniques when you go for a quality link-back for any of your website. You must think of these anchor link attributes. This means whether the link you are placing will be Dofollow or Nofollow?

These No-follow or Do-follow on the website tells Search Engine to follow this link or not.

Dofollow: used to allow search engine to follow the link and this would give link juice which will increase the page rank. To make it happen just use this rel=”dofollow” in anchorlink. This dofollow shows the blue/gray highlighted in color.

Nofollow: this is used to tell search engine that this link should not be followed and if you any external link on your website and you will make it “nofollow”  then this would not share the link juice to that external link and the tools available will show this nofollow link in red highlighted color. To enable this ability you have to add this rel=”nofollow”
To find out about the link on any of the page that the external links or internal links placed here are nofollow or dofollow. You can simply search and install the extension, addon of Nofollow/dofollow on your browser.

Google Penguin Update 1.1

Google’s Matt Cutts, the head of webspam team at Google has rolled out first update of Penguin. Penguin is a webspam algorithm which hit on April 24. The main focus of this update was to punish that website that unethically stuffed with keywords and linked with low ranked directories. This algorithm update is similar to panda update which previously made the same changes in search results.

Cutts said that this update affected less than 0.1 percent of all searches and according to the Cutts Twitter account, this thing happened at about the midnight on Saturday.

There has been something I found in discussions from the SEOs that they have faced this update last month. However, Google insists that this was the first update for penguin since April 24.

The good news is that whether you were hit the first time or this time, is that you can recover. Google will continue to make more changes to its Penguin Algorithm; there should be plenty of chances to do so. Think about the panda update last year where Google had the same goal in updating its algorithm.

Domain Age in SEO: Does it Effects on your SEO performance?


Does domain age affects in your SEO performance? Do you think the site age matters in your whole SEO performance?

Currently one of my friend told me about the impact he got in rankings on google through domain age changes and we previously both have faced the same change before.

One of our client had a domain name registered for 1 year and when we started discussing the organic results performance with our client he said that, yes he will keep the domain.

Then we asked him to increase the domain age and he did it for more 5 years. Now, What is the change we see on our rankings?

We see more improved rankings the pages that were index on 8th page or more, after a week there is a good change in position and those pages that were indexed on 8th page or more is very near to top 10.

As per the result, I would definiltely say to my other SEO friends who are in confusion that whether this work would effect or not. The I would say, yes this happens to me and this was the second time we got the good rankings.
