Understanding Nofollow And Making Most Of It

By John Musa


Marketers are slowly saying 'rest in peace' to content marketing. The algorithm changes that Google has implemented now require that any paid link must have a nofollow tag. Value has dwindled in the promotions that brands have grown accustomed to.



What value does a sponsored link provide if the PageBoost rank is irrelevant? It is common knowledge that brands only use online promotions to increase their rankings in the search engines. When marketers focus all of their time and energy on SEO efforts, they miss out on the bigger issue at hand. The new type of SEO is not only about search engine results and traffic generation, revenue and engaging the brand is also very important.

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.

It can almost become insulting to try and deceive the target market and lead to reduced traffic because the content should be professional and well put together. The days of winging it and going with anything are long gone.
