This thread on SEO Chat has some interesting advice. Namely, that when you link out to an "un-themed site", you should use the rel="nofollow" attribute. I try not to get emotional about these things but this attitude really ticks me off.
When did we all become Greedy Linksters? I guess it started with PageRank and morphed into the mess we have today, with blog spamming, Arelis et al. Admittedly, I'm as greedy for links as anyone. Heck, we even made a blog about how to get as many/the best links as possible to your site (p.s., isn't our blog great? you should link to it).
So your site is about blue widgets, and your hosting was graciously donated by HostingCo Inc. You, of course, want to link to them in your footer with "Hosting graciously donated by HostingCo Inc." The problem (apparently) is that HostingCo Inc. isn't ranking for "blue widgets", so you're afraid that by linking to them you will lose hub points with Hilltop.
Link to them. Trust me. The algo will get over it. Don't be a Greedy Linkster! *steps off soapbox*
What's wrong with Arelis?
ResponderEliminararrrrgggggh
ResponderEliminarThis is not helpful. I use Arelis for keeping track of my link partners and for creating link pages (I do not use the email part). It saves me a lot of time.
ResponderEliminarA question for you users of Arelis: Does Arelis notice, and warn you about, sites that use the "nofollow" tag?
