[...] Bad neighbourhoods, to Google, are typically identified by spammy on-page ‘seo‘ techniques and dubious backlink and interlink profiles. You do not want to link to these neighbourhoods, because who you link to matters. [...]

I’d be interested to know if the content of the web site to which you link can have a negative influence on your own ranking, if the content is completely unrelated. For example having links to charities that you may support but who have nothing to do with your own services and products.

Someone mentioned this to me a few weeks back. Seems a little odd if you could get penalised for that.

I can’t agree more. I believe that Google do something which is natural for users, so “be natural” is the key.

I guess there are two things I’m most annoyed about with the nofollow rule.

1. Google didnt bring it out with the intention of helping bloggers remove spam… that was one big ly as spam is worse than it has ever been.

2. All the big blog (wordpress) services/software jumped on board without much thought.

And to this day I still don’t understand why wordpress doesnt bring in something as suggested… where you can allow links to other sites by people commenting when the comments reach a certain number or degree of input.

I’ve been looking for such a plugin and am yet to find one. Does anyone have any ideas or know of one?

Thanks, Chris
