I love SEO blog posts where SEO’s talk about their findings. This industry is full of testers that still can’t provide empirical data, no matter how much they try. For every tester, there’s always someone who has a reason to bust the results with their own tests or philosophy (these ‘busters’ are most often the same SEO personalities, unfortunately). Sometimes, though, despite the ‘busters’, these SEO’s can make a compelling case. I thought Branko Rihtman did a great post called Anatomy of a Google Filter/Penalty over at SEO Scientist. I’ve often speculated about NoFollows, since they’ve recently become one of the new “SEO flavors of the year”. I do believe engines - mainly Google - do try to recognize SEO efforts, and have thresholds. Do ill-timed or excessive NoFollows trip this scrutiny?
Penalties and NoFollows?
