Just an FYI, all the links in Q&A are also nofollow.

Thank you, Im pretty aware of that, and this gives as great practice grounds to discover and learn about SEO.

This is what is so great about this Forum, you can have armatures and pros all in one place!

As we are still on this topic, Keri, you wouldn't happen to know if NoFollow links are at all valued by search engines, or are they just as good as plain text?

[KeriMorgret]

We still get plenty of people trying to make link drops in here, and not everyone has a nofollow highlight on their browser or looks at the source code.

Sorry, I've asked for a copy of the algorithm so that I could know for sure, but nobody's given that to me yet, and I haven't done enough independent testing to know what the search engines think.

As a moderator, I will sometimes still remove hyperlinks even if it is nofollow, just because it looks spammy to users and distracts from the flow of the discussion in Q&A or the blog.

The reason I ask, is because I open Open Site Explorer and it has a nofollow link there from wikipedia.

So If it has it, it is registered, but yet it is a nofollow link.

I can provide a domain, and share the Analytics with anyone if you would like to try.

I have quite a few parked not used, not doing anything, just laying around.

I see you figured it out.

Not all text blog editors allow HTML code, so you have to figure it out.

Also maybe get a chrome op firefox extension to see if the link is nofollow.

And Also - Dont forget to vary your Anchor text, as if it is all the same word over and over, google will get suspicious...

so in your case you can have something like:
SEO
SEO SERVICE
i5 Digital
Hertfordshire
SEO Service in Hertfordshire
etc.

I've checked out the link, and it seems like a good resource, but form 2010.
Things changed since then.

From the Comments I read, I found this interesting:

"I prefer to combine do and no follow links... it looks natural for google, and a link pointing to my site is never worthless."
