Well I am sure you have heard of PR hoarding or PR Sculpting by way of the nofollow attribute before, but do they work? Simple answer for me is I don’t know. Do you? I would love to hear from you on this thread then.
Please explain to me why millions of websites rank fine without doing this and now all of sudden we should start doing this? Is this to help our websites? Is it to help Google crawl our websites? Will our websites suffer if we don’t do this? I would answer no to most of these questions.
As we all know the nofollow attribute was created as a blog comment spam condom. It was Does PR Sculpting Work?
Murdok video also has a nice video from Stephen Spencer on the topic:
Sphinn: Understanding what the “No Follow” tag can do for your siteHere is the thread that explains what the nofollow tag can do for your website, blaaaah:
SEO Nonsense - Sculpting PageRank Builds MuscleSO this is my called out to anyone that can show that PR Sculpting alone is a SEO technique that should be recognize and implemented by most websites. I am sure I won’t get many responses worth anything substantially new on the topic. With good unique content, proper internal navigation and solid back links you don’t need to worry about nofollow.
UPDATE: This post from Micheal Martinez really says it all about this PR Sculpting issue. Yes, Virginia, your contact page DOES need 500 linksPoint 5 - PR is not tangible. One page doesn't have 100 PR credits that you can feel free to divvy up as you like through internal linking. It is not that simple. The point I am trying to make is that these SEOs are trying to say they can sculpt something like PR. We all know toolbar PR is crap and internal PR is not known so...where does one get off saying they can sculpt something they don't know?
