Simply spoken, Nofollow backlinks are links on a site or blog which have a special HTML tag on them which tell the search engines not to "follow" aka "value" a link.

We all know the problem of comment spam: People posting comments with their link, people who hope to get some "link juice" to their sites from placing a link back to their site.

Here is what i think:

Enforcing a "nofollow" policy or even disabling all links for site visitors and commenters (so their links turn to plain text) is incredible egoistical.

Something must be seriously off with Google Page Ranking right now. I am coming from forums where i read how some web sites reached PR5 (!) within a couple of months.

Some other people report that they saw sites getting page rank 4 or 5 in 3 months with a few backlinks. Low quality, crappy sites.

www.1up-seo.com is up for over 3 years now, and i remember we once had PR2 but i let the site go and for some reason 1up's PR dropped to 0. Right now we have almost 600 backlinks, and i get "some" traffic to the site. About 600 pages are indexed in Google and i am ranking well for some SEO related keywords.

To make this clear: This is satire :)

Neither do we condone nor use black-hat SEO techniques ourselves, it also highly doubtful that any of those "techniques" would work in real life. Some, maybe, could ...

Needless to say, if they WOULD work and you would try to use them: It would be better then to quickly move to some far, far away country, say, Nigeria ...
