    This is a silly newbie question.  But will posting on www.instructables.com with some valuable content and url link back to my site help with "linking"?

    Or do they put a no-follow on all links on their site?

    Thanks for answering!

    Ron

      I'm doing some experimenting with Instructables, and some profile links are no-follow. I don't know if it's because the accounts are new, or that you need to have a PRO account to get follow links ...

        Hi Ron,

        I have a pdf explaining, I will PM you, which should answer all those questions:

        • Your link isn't hyperlinked - hence not a link, just text
        • The link I have shown is a "nofollow"
        • Link to member profile page is dofollow

        Hope this helps out mate!

          Hi Michael,

          I downloaded the seomoz tool bar which says it can check for nofollowed links.

          When I tested it on this page: http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-a-Titanium-Ring/?comments=all#CHSFLAKHGH72CAL  (one of the comments by J.R. YATES has two links in it) it did not show as a followed, or a no followed link.

          When I click on link button from the seomoz tool bar and sort by "nofollow" (pink) and "follow" (green) the url link I put in the comments doesn't get highlighted either way.  So I'm guessing that anything put in the comments section is not a link.  Thoughts?

              Hi Ron,

              Not a silly question at all mate!

              It appears there aren't any "nofollow" attribute links on members profile pages, I had a look at this one as an example: http://www.instructables.com/member/JonnyBGood/. I'm not sure if that is for all member profiles though.

              I only had a little chance to look at articles and couldn't see any links so can't comment on if they are "nofollow" or not. I would recommend downloading a "nofollow" toolbar extension on either Chrome or Firefox, that way when ever you view any site all nofollow links have a red dotted-line show up around them so you can instantly see the dofollow and nofollow links. It is helpful not just from a link building perspective, but also to see how authority can be directed around pages.

              Hope this helps!

                Should we Nofollow Social Links?

                I've been asked the question of whether if we should nofollow all of our social links, would this be a wise thing to do? I'm not exactly getting a clear answer from search results and thought you guys would be best to ask 🙂 Thanks in advance.

                We switched the domain from www.blog.domain.com to domain.com/blog.

                We switched the domain from www.blog.domain.com to domain.com/blog. This was done with the purpose of gaining backlinks to our main website as well along with to our blog. This set us very low in organic traffic and not to mention, lost the backlinks. For anything, they are being redirected to 301 code. Kindly suggest changes to bring back all the traffic.

                Referencing links in Articles and Blogs

                Hi I am wondering if the <sup>tag in html is picked up by google as a reference point?</sup> I.e when you put a superscript in word it puts a small number next to your sentence. Then you have a list of reference at the end of the blog/article does google recognise this?

                Moving from a .com to .co.uk

                I need to migrate a wordpress site from domainname.com to domainname.co.uk. If I just put a 301 on every page on the .com will that cover it? Would it make sense to go and change all the backlinks/profile links to the new .co.uk site or doesn't it matter if you have a 301 redirect on it? Thanks

                Self-referencing links

                I personally think that self-referencing links are silly. It's blatantly easy for Google to tell and my instinct says that the link juice for this would simply evaporate rather than passing back to itself. Does anyone have information backing me up from an authoritative source? I can't find any info about this linked to Matt Cutts, Rand or any of those I look up to.

                Links from the same server has value or not

                Hi Guys, Sometime ago one of the SEO experts said to me if I get links from the same IP address, Google doesn't count them as with much value. For an example, I am a web devleoper and I host all my clients websites on one server and link them back to me. Im wondering whether those links have any value when it comes to seo or should I consider getting different hosting providers? Regards Uds

                How to find links to 404 pages?

                I know that I used to be able to do this, but I can't seem to remember. One of the sites I am working on has had a lot of pages moving around lately.  I am sure some links got lost in the fray that I would like to recover, what is the easiest way to see links going to a domain that are pointing to 404 pages?
