Great article man, being trying to get this new client of ours to think and focus more on their internal seo. Now I have a good example to show them. Thanks!

Oh I was having this argument yesterday with my boss when it seemed he wanted to de-index and no-follow all the WRONG pages (he asked me to add <meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW"> to all our news centre articles).This is just what I needed to explain why his strategy was actually upside down.

I totally use this for every client I have that is willing to change website code. Typically any textual link that does not add value to the theme of the site. Privacy policy, contact us, etc.I even do the home page for typical "home" links. But then link back to the home page using assigned keyword phrase in the content of several if not all pages. Sometimes I use the footer instead.Its more of a balancing act for user and search engine. I however don’t use the no-follow as liberally as many other SEO’s seem to. Perhaps I should do some more experimenting.Thanks.
