Forums Blogs and nofollow

Everyone says if you want to build back links to your website, you need to go to the forums and blogs and post comments. While this may be true and valuable, you really need to know about a little thing called "nofollow".

"Nofollow" is an HTML attribute value used more and more to instruct some search engines that a link should not influence the link target's ranking in the search engine's index. It is intended to reduce the effectiveness of certain types of search engine spam, thereby improving the quality of search engine results.

The problem is, if you are making legitimate posts, you are still loosing out by not receiving an indexed link back to your website. So before spending your valuable time on the blogs and forums, make sure your efforts are not lost with the nofollow attribute.
