Nofollow links exchange

[Italianseolover]

Hi guys,

I'm studying Seo for the first time and I'm really passionate about it.

Only one simply question.

Assume that I'm cited in a blog with the same PR of mine and I want to say thanks by recite the blogger in my blog.

I know that If two blog backlink each other the pr juice is equal to zero.

But If the other blogger link me with dofollow and I link him back with nofollow, does my blog take benefit from the link exchange?

Thank u very much and sorry for my medium level english

Hi Ruchy,

I am not following as to why you want to add the nodollow. If you are doing business with him and there is no money in exchange, then there is no reason to nofollow.

If there is money changing hands in any way, add a nofollow. If there is not, there is no reason to add one.

Have a great day!

Hi Kate,

Can I ask you a question regarding link exchange?

I am doing a link exchange in a legit way to increase sales for my site and my associate's site. My associate just wants a sales increase and no link juice. He has a very low DA so i want to give him a no follow link. Is it suspicious of fishy that I give a no follow link and receive a followed link in return?

Let me know, I dont want to take any changes.

Can you tell me the best way to do this link exchange?

Thanks

First, you're thinking about this all wrong. Stop thinking in terms of PR juice. PR (pagerank) hasn't been updated in a while and is a horrible metric. Also, don't think of links in relation to each other. They are independent unless you are part of a link farm. Those are identifiable, always.

If you want to say thank you, say thank you. If someone linked to you and it provided business, def say thank you. But don't think about it in terms of link equity. If they linked to you and it's bringing business, that is all that should matter. Thank in any way you deem respectful.
