rel="nofollow" on freesite listings..
What do you think about using rel="nofollow" on freesite listings? What do you want as a freesite builder? Traffic + backlink or only traffic? Would you submit to a LL using rel="nofollow" on freesite links?
Working example of LL using rel="nofollow" on freesite listings on cats is http://www.youneedfreeporn.com/ Maybe there are more, I don´t know. Personally I would say this is wrong, but I´m not sure if this is starting to become a common practice? |

I think it is bad practice, you do want a backlink to your freesite so it can get listed in the SE.
On the other side the LL would gain higher listings in it only has nofollow links. But you should always keep the submitters intrest at first. |

Nope, I do not like that as a freesite builder. That is being unfair IMHO. And I would stop submitting to any LL using this tag in this way personally. I am looking for the incoming links for se's, not just the initial traffic surge which isn't always that great anyways.

It is better to watch things then to do them

I think as with most things, people run their sites the way they see fit and people will submit or not.
If you want the traffic then still submit. You get traffic even if small and you dont get pr, but if you dont submit then you still dont get pr and you lose any traffic you would have gotten. Your only gaining if you still submit, not losing anything extra from submitting that not submitting would fix, if that makes sense. Now, if they are doing traded links supposedly for pr and using it nofollow it is different. If they just do regular traffic trades or listings without pr in mind then thats at their discretion imo. Category or main page PR trades with someone secretly using nofollow is very different than sending traffic to someone using nofollow and possibly getting a link back. |

Brad - I had noticed that foxyslinks uses the nofollow also on the links - I guess anyone can run their sites the way they want - I hope at least these LLs do tell their submitters up front? Also is it ok to put nofollow on the recips?

Personally, I think submitters should blacklist linklists that start doing that.
;-} Because for years now the submitter-linklist relationship has been as much about an exchange of search engine relevancy, as about a simple exchange of visitors. |

I totally agree with Bill, if any relationship is not symbiotic, I don't want any part of it. The whole concept just looks like dirty pool to me.

I just turned it from 250 categories (as usual made it far too big too early) down to the few you see, actually just changed it all a few days ago. I do have nofollow on most of the links, but these aren't submitted sites. These are 100% sites that i have picked up, that don't have recips anyway, so any traffic they get is a bonus that they shouldn't expect anyway, or sponsored sites.
Any submitted sites that i get, or PR trades that i may end up doing in the future, will not use the nofollow. Until then, i was trying to keep the extremely small amount i do have between my sites. In my mind this is far different then adding nofollow to submitted sites with recips or pr trades. Actually, if a freesite gave me a decent amount of traffic in return i wouldn't care if i got a nofollow or not personally. Google Pr of 3 with an extra 30K from all the freesites in traffic a day, or a Pr 7 with nothing coming back in, i'd take the traffic. I get your guys point and this is an overstated example, but i think it rings true. In my case, the nofollow use was actually more about somebody learning something new and over using it. I think on mine i'll strip it back down to using only on ads for a couple reasons, not really about this thread. For one, for me it was more of "learning a new tool and overusing it". On my story page and most freesites i didn't use the nofollow on anything, even ads, because i wasn't sure what it's function was. When i learned, like a lot of people, figured if a little was good a lot was better. And secondly, with all the webmasters doing it i believe there will be, if not already, a penalty they will come up with that (even if not following the link) maybe will count the nofollows and mark down pr anyway removing any point of doing it. No functional reason for 400 nofollows on a page. So again, i get everyones points and new that i had nofollow on my site on most links and figured people would see that, so i still stand by what i said and i think, at least in my case, it's a little different than others. |

I and many others like to use nofollow on sponsor links to keep most of the PR on our own sites, but as I said earlier, adding it to freesite listings would be wrong. I see that you use it on freesites you added to fill your LL and there´s no problem with that. Last edited by pornhitzman; 2007-03-25 at 06:08 AM.. |

http://www.alexa.com/data/details/tr...edfreeporn.com I would bet that if he removes rel="nofollow" on his links, his site would take a plunge in the SERPs. Last edited by pornhitzman; 2007-03-25 at 10:12 AM.. |

Alexa is not the best tool to measure traffic, but that "spike" indicates something at least, and you´ve probably seen him in the serps, because I know you keep a close eye on the serps

I read the rest of the thread and understand how you are using the tag, which is fine. I am considering using the tag on all the sponsor links on my index and see if that helps. |

You can now put whatever you want in this space :)

I disagree. It's your linklist, your income - therefore your first interest.

I use the tag on sponsor galleries only. I think thats kinda shady to use it on submitted sites. Personally, I would never do it.

sorry for bumping a month old thread first
what about link lists that are listing submitted free sites through script, so free site is not getting search engine friendly backlink... it's same as adding nofollow tag i made a small list of sites doing this, if someone is interested it's here Last edited by kide83; 2007-07-04 at 08:41 AM..

I don't like this practice, but LL owner can do whatever he/she wants with his/her site.

yes, you're 100% right Silver Knight
however i think not many LL owners would like to see his/hers recip on the same page with 2-3-4 recips of LLs who are doing nofollow/script thing... why should they take advantage of our PR that's why i shared list with others, i made it for myself but thought why not share it with others, i am sure there are some more LL owners thinking the same way i am... way i'm thinking... lets not mix clean and nofollow sites if webmaster wants to submit FS to clean sites why not make table with only clean LL recips... if he/she wants to submit to nofollow and get their traffic (and don't care about SEO and PR) it's ok with me but make recip table with nofollow sites only |
