Are the links in the directory SEO friendly?

sj1 · 03-28-2006, 07:40 AM

Do the links in and to the directory contain the rel="nofollow" tag?

Mad Cat · 03-28-2006, 09:27 AM

It's strange to hear such questions on webmaster forum...

Why not to check page source code and see it?

munt · 03-28-2006, 12:31 PM

it doesnt seem to let me view source..... just doesnt open notepad..
but i saved page to my desktop and edited with notepad to see it

i dont see one!

The links in the main directory page DO contain the rel="nofollow" tag. The links in the pages with the outbound don't contain the tag.

Well wait, the search engines don't follow links with the nofollow, do they not?

sj1 · 03-28-2006, 08:18 PM

No they don't. Which means that all of the links in the paid directory have no pr value.

munt · 03-28-2006, 08:59 PM

hmm wish i knew that before submitting 3 links
what a waste of money :/
has it always been like this?
im sure i saw my categorys as backlinks when i first submitted them

this should be removed from the pagerank prediction then
its decieving...

Good point, actually. I guess I'll ask kenni. I'm sure he has a good reason.

munt · 03-29-2006, 03:30 AM

ive never seen a FREE directory with nofollow let alone a paid one
this directory has been advertised as SE friendly etc so something really has to be done or there will be alot of angry people...

kenni · 03-29-2006, 06:30 AM

Nofollow is only applied to those additional categories. EG

Arts (28)
Photography, Music, << nofollow

Computers (25)
Software, Hardware, << no follow

The main categories will share PR and all your links will also recieve PR and Ranking.
