Do No Follow Links Help Out

By John Musa


Google's algorithm is constantly being tweaked to meet the needs and wants of their search engine and making sure it is based on merit. With the addition of the 'NoFollow' tag that ensures paid links do not become a source of higher search engine results, it has become difficult to move forward with content marketing. At least, this is what certain content marketers are trying to profess, but it could not be any further from the truth. Content marketing is more than just these paid links and lets take a glance at how this is a reality.



Typically when you have the no follow links on a site, it is going to be ranking well. Since the links are seen as no follow, the search engines know the other website has no personal gain to let people link from it. So they tend to provide accurate information that will help people in getting to have useful information because they are not looking to get a link to their website in the search engines eyes.

The good news is that the marketers should not allow Google's new rules discourage their marketing efforts. When content marketing is done correctly, sponsored links can still provide amazing benefits for your brand. It is effective if you make sure that you have your priorities in order when you are working on your SEO efforts. Remember that content is still important.

What Is Nofollow?: A nofollow attribute that is contained in a link signal Google remove that link from the internet. A website's position is based on the links that are in a website. This attribute was created to prevent links that were considered spam from influencing a website's rank in the search engines.

The first algorithm update by Google was announced in 2012, and it was called Penguin. The goal of Penguin was to make the black hat websites rank lower in the search engine results. This meant that if Google believed that a website owner was trying to increase their PageRank artificially, the site was penalized. The trends for content marketing will continue to fluctuate. However, the foundation will always remain the same. Make sure that the content you produce is strong, and the audience connection is genuine. When these two factors are in place, link generation will become less of an issue.
