Keep up the great work. Ray Court-

I’m a fairly new reader but I’ve been devouring your posts like a man who hasn’t eaten for weeks - what’s your advice for us who’ve maybe got just a few sites at the moment, carry on building or go back and and start tweaking the links we’ve already got to “no follow”?

Keep up the great work.

Either check or uncheck the box depending on whether you want the nofollowed links highlighted or not. As far as SEOQuake is concerned, I can't seem to find a way to turn the feature off. For me, when the tool is enabled, nofollowed links are red. When it's disabled, they're not red. Sorry I'm not more help than that. Fiar -

What's the magic incantation I must utter? On a different note, I have tried both the SEO Quake and SEO for Firefox plugins, and I can’t make either one highlight the nofollow links.

For articles like these ;) What gets me is John Chow and Darren Rose don't have h1 tags either. I just don't get it. Thats gotta be the #1 SEO fundamental, so why aren't these guys using it. Hell, you may have picked another spot or two for 'internet marketing' had it been incorporated with the new design. In fact doesn't this say something about Unique Blog Designs? They did to your redesign as well as Johns? Will do! For articles like these ;)

Pretty important location to be wasting unimportant pages on. 2 - If anchor text is matters so much why would you have a link named "home" on every page in the blog? I would think "Internet School Home" would do the trick. 3 - I like your 100 points as a reference. It gives a good reference point for discussion. 4 - I have not seen proof that Google actually distributes the juice to the links that are do follow. Your assuming the page value gets split up by the 80 points of do follow. Or, is it the value of the 80 do follow points remain the same! You have to admit it would take a major change to the algorithm to accomplish what you assumes happens. I hope your correct by the way. 5 - If you want return on investment I would remove "reply to this comment" link on every comment. If you get 100 comments, you just cut your link juice in half for every good link on the page. 6 - Hate to toot my own horn, but my entry in Courtneys writing project is interesting. To thank him, I created a page that gives him 50 points! It would take this blog 100 pages to duplicate that juice! The name of the page is <a href="http://localref.dot5hosting.com/articles/2007/october/internet-marketing-why-back-links-work/" rel="nofollow">Why backlinks work</a>. You must admit that 50 points is a lot of juice with one page. It would be to both parties involved to market a page like that. Just getting the page to PR3 would be a big boost! .....and finally, remember every improvement you make to a blog is multiplied times the amount of pages on the blog! Thanks to both of you guys. I hope you take this as constructive comments. Boy do I have a lot of questions:
