6. Nofollow Reciprocity
Most big sites by default use ‘nofollow’ tags therefore not trusting external links nor users that post those links there. This means that they don’t give any credit (in the form of PageRank) to those links and are essentially considering them spam (as that was ‘officially’ the purpose of ‘nofollow’ tag introduction – actually messing with the blogging community search engine rankings was the real purpose). This results in their pages appearing higher in search engine results and your pages appearing lower.
This plugin detects links to above mentioned sites, and puts ‘nofollow’ tags on them. ‘Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.’ WordPress is a major blogging platform, with tens of millions of users. If many people using WordPress use this plugin, other big sites may reconsider their ‘nofollow’ strategy. This plugin expands on Wikipedia nofollow plugin hacked by a revolted blogger.

Thanks. I’m constantly interested in posts and info about website seo. You can’t predict where you are likely to discover new strategy (well, new to me at least). Although there will almost always be basic Seo techniques, a little tweak here and there, and your website will get much better search rankings. If you use Wordpress using appropriate plugins and / or a high quality premium template will help your Search engine optimization. It’s also important and vital to keep up to date with the modifications in internet search engine algorithms.All the best
