Webmasters are after PageRank no matter how Google tries to convince people that it is not a huge factor in determining its ranking among the various websites out there.
They said the use of nofollow in tags is important to help your site not to get penalized when page rank updates will take place.
I take good care of my tech blog because of its high traffic. But rather than adding nofollow tags to every link that gets added to the blog site, I use a meta tag of nofollow for the robot to treat every link as nofollow. Nothing wrong with that, right?
Wrong! I was surprised my tech blog suddenly got a page rank of 0. What the hell. It’s either Google’s algorithm screwed up or their nofollow instruction for websites not to get penalized is bogus and crap.
Maybe you think Google’s system is still re-calculating my site’s page rank and the update has not propagated over to its other servers scattered around the globe.
Nope. I do not believe that. It has been quite a number of days now and the page rank is still 0, so I fear the worst that this is permanent until the next update.
My tech blog has been consistently at PR3 ever since, even got to PR4 at one cycle but maintained it consistently until now.
All those trying to preserve their site’s page rank by adding nofollow to unnatural links? Don’t believe it!
Fracking Google. Once your website gets penalized, you will have to wait for the next update to take place to hope your website’s page rank gets back.
