      Hi all, and first of all, thanks in avant,

      my question is.... Does a High percentage of nofollow inconming links, harm my campaign?  and when i mean a high percentage, i mean a 67% of all my incomings links, that are nofollow.

      Thanks!

        Not at all, it's more natural for a domain's external link profile to consist mainly of backlinks containing the nofollow link relationship than not. The 67% ratio would be about right and this would not, in itself flag any problems at all.

        Its important for a link profile to look natural, a healthy balance of nofollow links with followed links along with a nice mix of variety with the types of pages linking back to a domain.
