Are you a new blogger? Have you been trying with the SEO tricks and wonder why other websites have been rejecting your link requests? A possible reason for this may be ‘Nofollow’ tag in your blog.
What is ‘Nofollow’ tag?
In view of increased comment spamming and link spamming, search engines recommend the websites to use rel=”nofollow” tag. This tag instructs the robots / spiders of the search engines not to follow the links in the blog (links in your post or comments on your post).
How Is Nofollow Tag Irrelevant And Harming My Blog?
As you have understood from the definition above, ‘Nofollow’ tag discourages the search engine spiders to let your link love flow to other sites, this also discourages other sites to link back to your blog / site. Following are the reasons which make the ‘Nofollow’ tag irrelevant:
1. Link Love Is Discouraged:
Nofollow tag is harmful specially for new bloggers as the link love is discouraged (as explained above).
2. Comments Are Moderated:
There is no need of ‘Nofollow’ tag when comments on all the blogs are generally moderated by the blogmasters. And the blogmasters can easily make out if there is any spam comment and disallow the same. At times spammers put automated comments, but that can be tracked by the picture or word verification.
3. The Motive Of Spammers Is Not Only Link Love:
One interesting fact has to be noted that getting ‘Link Love’ is not the only objective of spammers, they also spam in order to get increased traffic from your site, which however cannot be checked by ‘nofollow’ tag.
4. Comments Add To Your Content:
Commenting is a very good way to, interact with your audience, get linked to them, increase content on your blog while spreading link love. But the nofollow tag discourages your audience to put comments on your blog and thus restricts you from getting more content on your blog.
5. Search Engines Do Follow ‘Nofollow’:
Another interesting fact is that some search engines like Yahoo, etc. do follow the links even if there is a ‘nofollow’ tag associated. This makes the nofollow tag the most irrelevant thing on your blog then.
Given the above reasons, ‘nofollow’ tag becomes completely irrelevant and even harmful for new bloggers. For removing ‘nofollow’ tag from your blog, you can follow the steps specified in How To Remove Nofollow Tag And Make Your Blog A Dofollow Blog
