Rel NoFollow Tag
I am sure you must have heard about this a lot. Apparently Google advices you to use this tag whenever linking out to a websites so as to save you from your page rank being drained as well as keeping the link juice from being passed on.
Why was this initiated by Google? A lot of bad websites were getting top ranking in Google searches simply by having a ton of links from every possible source and to keep their search listing credible they came out with the rel=”nofollow” tag.
When should you use it? Whenever linking out from your blog make sure you use the nofollow tag, unless you are sure the website you are linking to does not fall under bad neighborhood.
Personally I would not mind passing on the link juice to websites who have PR 6 and more and therefore not use the nofollow tag for such websites.
How to use?
