What Is NoFollow Used For?
Hi guys,
We’ve had a few people asking about nofollow and other SEO concepts recently, so we have decided to post a video taken from our membership site explaining it and make it available here.
We have close to 50 videos in the membership area with many more being added each week covering aspects of SEO, web 2.0 promotion, and many other topics.
Video options
1. Just click the play button to watch the embedded version. OR
2. Click the “HD” link below the video to play online (but in a better resolution). OR

We hope you enjoy the video.
To your success!

This is something I am still trying to fully understand but this video does give me a bit. I think I will have to check it out again to let it all sink in but I thank you for bringing out this video.
You lose the audio in the last minute and a half… I wish I knew what your summation was…
No audio the last part of your video. Hope there was nothing there to important.
I think it’s a good clarification on a basic but important topic.
Thanks.
I agree with much of the above. The content is very clear and extremely useful. However you loose me from 13 minutes onwards regarding the dilution of links and why/how to make Privacy, Terms, Disclaimer etc “nofollow”. This is really key and would be great to give some examples as before.
Yeah I lost the last minute or so too. Anyway this has clarified something that has been bugging me for ages. One site I used to have actually ranked the contact page at 3 and the homepage at 6 in Google. How the hell does this happen? The contact page had no other keyword than the site name twice, once being in the email address,as oppossed to the homepage being really keyword rich and it flowed really nicely. Googles algorithm sux.
But great post and most appreciated.
Hi Mike,
The reason any page ranks better than another is authority. Google decides that page is more authoritiative. Maybe you had mote backlinks to it? Or an internal link, and/or the page was better optimized for that keyword.
Usually this will be at least a major part of it.

I find that links with the rel=”no follow” tag counting as back links in Google Webmaster Tools. Do you?
