Links from Instructables.com?
-
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!

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?

Wow! Thanks so much for the helpful tip Michael!
I'll download the extension now. Very helpful, thanks again sir!

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!

Site Link Issues
For several search terms I get site links for the page http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/kolea-condos/ It makes sense that that page be a site link as it is one of my most used pages, but the problem is google gave it the site link "Kolea 10A". I am having 0 luck making any sense of why that was chosen. It should be something like "Kolea Condos" or something of that nature. Does anyone have any thoughts on where google is coming up with this?

So many internal links to the same page
Hey guyz,
Technical SEO | | atakala
I'm working with a client that has a page which has many internal links to the same page .
Let me illustrate it.
So as you can see I have a page which is called in the image "page" :D.
As you can see, the **page **has many links to the solutions.htmls' anchor links which mean they are basically the same page ( solutions.html)
Is it going to be a problem for us to do that ?
And is there anyway to handle this problem?
Thank you for you patience. And sorry for my bad english 😄 4deRc1W.png0 -

Reciprocal links and nofollow tag
What happens if I link to a site using the nofollow tag and they are linking back to me with a dofollow link? Will it give me as much power and link juice as if it was a one way link (to me) or will Google discount the link because it's reciprocal?

No crawl code for pages of helpful links vs. no follow code on each link?
Our college website has many "owners" who want pages of "helpful links" resulting in a large number of outbound links. If we add code to the pages to prevent them from being crawled, will that be just as effective as making every individual link no follow?

Too Many On-Page Links
Hello. My Seomoz report this week tells me that I have about 500 pages with Too Many On-Page Links One of the examples is this one: https://www.theprinterdepo.com/hp-9000mfp-refurbished-printer (104 links) If you check, all our products have a RELATED products section and in some of them the related products can be UP to 40 Products. I wonder how can I solve this. I thought that putting nofollow on the links of the related products might fix all of these warnings? Putting NOFOLLOW does not affect SEO?
