Changeing Hyperlinks from Do Follow to Do Not Follow

[sherohass]

I Have a blog on my website and we do guest post from time to time. I was contacted by a blogger to change the Back links on his Article from Do Follow to Do not Follow. His Article has been live for 5 Months. When I asked him of the reason for that his Answer was that he needs to comply with Google's New Alogarithm ! Has Anyone Had Similar situation or can shed more light on that issue ?

Hi Sherif

Your situation is quite common: you have been contacted by someone, whose site (or client's site) received - possibly - a message from Google about "unnatural links".

Or, simply, it has bee hit by Penguin.

So... in a frenzy for cleaning the link profile of the site, that guy started asking for "nofollowing" backlinks or even deleting them.

Sincerely, not knowing your blog, I can't tell you if that guest author had a reason for asking you that kind of request, but to put that link as nofollow doesn't really cost you nothing.

Hi Giantuca,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I understand now. When I was asked to change that back link to no follow I thought there was some problem with my website in fact.

My blog is tripsetc.com/blog and has not been penalized by any search engine so as it was the first time I encounter that situation i was puzzled.

Thanks again. BTW Noticed you live in Valencia an Awesome city with a good Soccer team.

Best Regards.

Sherif
