1200 pages no followed and blocked by robots on my site. Is that normal?

Hi,

I've got a bunch of notices saying almost 1200 pages are no-followed and blocked by robots.

They appear to be comments and other random pages.  Not the actual domain and static content pages.

Still seems a little odd.  The site is www.jobshadow.com.  Any idea why I'd have all these notices?

Thanks!

Any examples of pages that are blocked?  I don't see any pages being specifically blocked in your robots.txt: http://www.jobshadow.com/robots.txt

For nofollow, it's perfectly normal to nofollow thousands of links if you get a lot of comments.

hi

most of these notice are relating to your comment system and not to the robots.txt file.

If you have 'no follow' active, that means for search engine robots: not to follow links!

If that's the only issue and was intentionally, then the notice can be ignored.

the example below reveals that all your comments are set to "no follow".

example page -comment: http://www.jobshadow.com/interview-with-a-neurosurgeon/#comment-4168

the html source:

<span class="<a class="attribute-value">comment_time</a>"><a href="[#comment-4268](view-source:http://www.jobshadow.com/interview-with-a-neurosurgeon/#comment-4268)" 
title="<a class="attribute-value">Permalink to this comment</a>" _**rel="<a class="attribute-value">nofollow</a>">**_April 29, 2012 at 4:19 pma>span>

Ok cool, yeah I think it's mainly comment pages.  Which no following them is standard on Wordpress.

The blocking of the robots notice threw me a little off though.  Obviously you'd want your comments to show up in the search engines as well.

Thanks both of ya'll for the help!
