There are actually a few reasons for using "no follow" for internal link "sculpting" rather than a javascript call: 1. Robots can't read javascript so depending on how you are using the script the link might get followed by the bot anyway. 2. Using no follow attributes to internal links usually mean that you still want those pages indexed - if you hide the link completely behind a script then the bot won't index or follow it. That said, in the matter of external linking - I completely agree that giving credit (and sharing PageRank) where credit is due but there are definitely times to use a "no follow" to external pages (especially for blog or article comment sections which are notorious targets for spam links). - Jeff Wed, 11 Mar 2009 06:18:45 +0100 http://lyrishq.lyris.com/index.php/Blog/Sweeten-Your-SEO-With-Link-Juice.html#pc_156 Well... I do understand that you want to keep some internal pages not getting spidered (isn't it better to use Javascript?)... and from a SEO perspective I understand that you don't want to leak PageRank... but from the perspective of what is 'just'... I think you do want to give the credits to the author of the page you are linking to, right? - Joost | Internetguerillas.com Tue, 10 Mar 2009 23:57:51 +0100
