well i dont take much stress for links as i personelly feel that if you make genvine and quality links ,it will come out to have a positive result for sure… and if we seo guys use negative tacts then its obvious we are going to have major hurdles through google,sooner or later… so be positive, work calmly on genvine quality links.. and yes all knows links are made through offpage activities like directory blog,bookmark and so… just keep checking which links are working for seo.. thats it…

It seems RankBrain and new anticipated Penguin update won’t be perfect and still need help of Google quality assessors. Interesting to see how many websites got outbound link penalties.

In reply to Al. I'd say it's a reasonable practice when managed in moderation. On a link in a footer that appears cross-site, fine. But always take care to ensure you're not doing too much obvious sculpting with this approach. In general, the engine *should* be accounting for links like you mention and deprecating the passed value on it's own. Nothing wrong with some sign posts to help them out, however. ;)

Duane, this got me thinking about internal links. What do you think about no follow on internal site links to pages like contact us, privacy, support pages etc. Is it good / bad practice?

Good tips, I personally use Ultimate Nofollow plugin on my wordpress to take care of my outbound links, even though I feel like it would be extremely difficult for google to penalize sites base on this.

Yes this happens to many of the websites. But I think people from Google should also tell us what types of links are now legal in Google eyes…

Google doesnt know how to fix the problem of blogs and guest posts , so once again they take a chainsaw to try to brain surgery. who and what is deciding what links Outbound are bad? Are they suggestiong the sites they are going to are bad?

Should we remove doubtful outbound links from the site or to nofollow it?
