Don't Completely Discount Nofollow Links
Google’s Matt Cutts has said that nofollow links can’t hurt you (unless you’re hardcore spamming).
But can they help?
My own testing (and a few industry studies) have found that nofollow links can help with rankings.
That’s why I don’t completely discount nofollow links. As long the link is a contextual link from a relevant site, I’ll take it.
