The nofollow tag, robots.txt and leaking your PageRank
A nice blend of flavor aye? :p - I get many questions regarding PageRank and how to keep from leaking that valuable substance(*laughs*), as well as how to properly use the nofollow tag. Many don’t realize it but the nofollow tag can be very valuable for use on your own site not just for outbound links. In this article we have an example of a webmaster who saw a HUGE increase in traffic from google after implementing some simple nofollow/robots restrictions.
This article may help you funnel your SE value through to the pages that need the value and stop value from being leaked into hundreds of worthless pages you don’t want ranked.
