Google Doubles Down On Guest Blog Links: Nofollow Them

[J K]

Google recently said to no-follow guestpost.

John Muller from google said on when questioned about the topic that "essentially if the link is within the guest post, it should be nofollow, even if it's a "natural" link you're adding there." He did add that "none of this is new" and this is the messaging Google has been using for a while.

He also added that this is not about any new plans to go after sites using guest blog posts links. He said don't expect any "ramp up manual reviews of this." He said most of the time Google can "catch most of these algorithmically anyway."

I hope it helps the community.

If google says don't do it, then do it.

Yes sir or bro I’m delighted you have saved us all, for this I’m going to ask mods to knight you and ask all guest post sellers to sell only no follow links

LOL.

That's why they are asking webmasters to change links to nofollow.

Omfg... Muller was also asked once why do sites with paid links profile rank in the SERP. His answer was that paid links don’t work, it is only a coincidence that these pages are high up in the SERP and that they rank because of other factors lol. Im telling you, Muller is high on something

Lol they honestly should just shut up. They're embarrassing themselves at this point. Just shows that they are desperate. Instead they should concentrate on the lawsuits (like the $5 USD one... they keep growing.)

 

[seoz87]

Any links intended to manipulate PageRank or a site's ranking in Google search results may be considered part of a link scheme and a violation of Google’s Webmaster Guidelines.

this also includes the "natural" outreaching & content marketing methods all the SEO gurus are preaching in SEO conferences ...so yeah..
