Beware No Follow Links In Article Directories
Filed under: Article Stuff, SEO Stuff — Ade Martin @ 6:54 am

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Just a quick heads up if you are submitting articles to article directories for SEO purposes. It is worth checking out whether or not they apply a nofollow tag to all outgoing links. One site, as of today, is Searchwarp.com. All the anchor text links in their articles are nofollow.

Waste of time submitting. Good for their PR but no link love for us honeys!

To check for nofollows either View Source or get the SEO Bar addon for FireFox.

  3. Thanks for the heads up on the article directories! We are actually testing the no-follow tags true behaviour using the method described in the page which this comment is linked to. It should only be a matter of weeks before we see some results.
