Nofolow links drive to losing ranking
-
Hello there,
I am an owner of mobilnishop website. We selling mobile phones. As you know , new phones coming every few days and they starting to be old after 1-2 years. So I decided to all pages which present old (discontinued) phones make them "noindex". I this way I meant to to focus google on new pages ( for new phones). After 1 year I find a huge losing trafic and key word position on goole. For example, word :
"mobilni telefoni " from 2 place I move to 11. So what I find out is that I LOST LINK JUICE. Is it possible that google does not see given link of my noindex pages? It look that I made auto goal.
Any opinion? Suggest ? -
By noindexing the pages, Google (potentially) no longer sees them so you potentially lost a lot of your ranking power.
The pages will have been keyword rich and will have let Google know your website is all about phones etc. By noindexing, you are essentially saying to Google that your site is no longer relevant ( or at least less relevant ) to those keywords. A lot of things will have happened when those pages dropped from Googles eyes.
Allowing them to be indexed, even though they are considered old phones, is the best thing to do. Personally I would set them to index again and give it some time.
*** Sorry if I misunderstood but I think there is some confusion between nofollow and noindex here

Thx Jamie.
What you think..how long it will take to get back in my old positions ( authority) ?

No problems Goran,
Honestly, It's impossible to tell. It's possible that it will take more than just setting the pages to "index" again for them to rise back to where they were. Being an optimist, I'd say a couple of weeks to a month before you start to see any changes in rank but that's just a guess.

Thx Jamie one more time.
This can be a lesson for ohters who has such idea like I did
