Wordpress Plugin: Nofollow Those Dupes (Wordpress SEO Masterclass Continued)
This is a continuation of my WordPress Search Engine Optimization Masterclass. It is really the one missing component, other than a complete theme with everything built in, to achieve the linking structures I described in my previous article.
Sandcastles Theme
I am still playing around with my Sandcastles Theme on a test site (based upon Sandbox) - it will be released fairly soon, but not until I have this site moved over onto new servers.
I thought I would release this now so that those who don't want to work with a modified Sandbox theme are free to use it, and most people can probably gain some benefit from it anyway, as it will reduce external links on duplicate content pages without having to block them.
Pagerank is based upon pages and relevant links

Paid Links | Hindsight gives perspective
Paid Links
It is five years, almost to the day that Yahoo started charging $299 per year for a listing in their directory as this article on Pandia clearly illustrates.
The main benefit of being in the Yahoo directory isn’t traffic, it is pagerank / trustrank. Who actually uses the Yahoo directory for anything other than listing their own sites?
It is many years since I went to Yahoo to lookup an entry for anything other than a competitor in a niche.

Nofollow | SEO & Dynamic Linking | Disclosure
Here are some more links discussing the use of NoFollow for SEO purposes.
Seo Blog has a solid overview of how each search engine treats nofollow.
I am not sure the final conclusion regarding Yahoo and treating nofollow for ranking purposes is correct. I know many people who have done well with blog comments with Yahoo search, even on blogs using nofollow. I haven’t got any recent data.

Ultimate Tag Warrior SEO Tricks (pt 1)
On my blogs, I prefer not to use nofollow for comments and trackback.
It is my belief that if someone adds to the conversation on my blogs, the least I can do is offer them a backlink for their trouble.
I prefer people to write a post about me than to add me to their blogroll. I know a blogroll link theoretically gives me more Google Juice, but if they give 200 people a blogroll link, suddenly the value of that link from every page is greatly deminished.

First Link Priority – Is Stompernet Wrong?
Prior Knowledge & Non-disclosure
Over the last few years a significant part of what I have written about on this blog has been about SEO - I try to be original, cutting-edge, providing a different perspective. I don't attend conferences, so what I wrote about isn't something I have overheard at the bar, told in confidence, heard from a speaker on stage or anything else. Recommending SEO products or courses is a little like tightrope walking - I don't join any program that suggests either in the sales materials or legalese that it might be proprietary - I know tons of people treat proprietary knowledge casually - rip off other marketers etc. I don't If information comes out in public that is from a notable source, and it has significant ramifications - thats worth blogging about, especially if I can offer perspective. There are people I trust as sources, or whose opinion I value, even when they challenge my own view of the SEO world, and one of those is Halfdeck who occasionally blogs at SEO 4 Fun - last blog post a year ago. Better to catch Halfdeck on Twitter. So I take stuff like this seriously...
