      Hi All,

      Is it worth setting co-operation with website that has incoming links with spam score 96% despite the fact they're mostly nofollow? From my understanding there's still connection set between websites bit no negative impact on my SEO profile. Am I right? Thanks for all opinions.

        No-followed links don't usually pass SEO authority across, negative or positive. Unless you begin to notice a specific and isolated impact on related rankings, I honestly wouldn't worry too much. No-followed links usually don't affect SEO (period)

        You could always just disavow the domain(s) if you really wanted to, then even if they removed the no-follow tags you'd still be unaffected. In my opinion I wouldn't do anything if the links are all 100% no-followed anyway
