Stop linking to other sites unnecessary
Thursday, February 21st, 2008 | Seo tips
What you thought? Linking to other sites shows how transparent and generous you are? How much credit you give to original person?. Stop that. Yeah,relax,not hard and fast. But stop linking unnecessary. Linking more to other sites snatches your site’s link juice and i hope everyone wants to preserve that. Instead use ‘nofollow’ attribute which will prevent SE bots to scroll to that site.
If you link much to other sites,you surely gonna have PR plus SERP’s ranking problems. But if you feel its necessary to link to that original article or picture,just make sure you put ‘nofollow’ attribute. How is it done?
<a rel=”nofollow” href=”URL of site”>Site name</a>
Just make sure you put this way and then you may start linking to sites,whichever you want. Its no problem to not to put “nofollow” attribute if you are linking to any google or wikipedia page(especially google). “nofollow” attribute is a great advantage for regular posters on blogosphere happenings because,firstly you are not violating any terms and giving updates regularly on blog.
You don’t need to link if you are writing on some idea you saw somewhere,any general discussion topic or anything like that because you can re-write or rephrase with some originality of yours and rephrasing words completely to pass completely. Hey, wait! I didn’t say to copy articles. Take a positive meaning out of it. But any research article or any special tech news should be linked to original site. I said tech news,not tech analysis of your own based on any tech news. If you are writing tech analysis of your own seeing some sites,tech news,then you don’t need to link it necessarily .If you wish,you can pay the tribute.
But i would advise you to occassionaly to link to relevant sites. This is because it will just make Search engines a bit more confident and sure that your site’s content is relevant and of similar niche to that of linked site. But just do this occassionaly. I have done that in my few earlier posts so that search engines can come to know about this. After this i am trying to use “nofollow” attribute.
Hey, make sure you aren’t using this attribute to link in your site’s own pages (inlinks) !
