    Google's update, Galleries, and rel="nofollow"??

    Do you think that if you have a ton of galleries linked with rel="nofollow" that Google's latest updates now treat your whole gallery pages as one big pile of advertisements??

    Just curious to hear from others who have a bunch of sites and use rel="nofollow" for fhg's on some sites and then do not use it on others.



    The other messed up thing is on some sites I was ranked #1 for, I am now on page 5, and 90% of what is above me is illegal tubes with pirated content.. and Also Scraped content..

    Some asshat stole a bunch of the titles verbatim including the name of my domain names from my sites and put it on pages of his own sites, and now outranks my own sites.. lmfao!

      Ya.. that was sort of what I was thinking

      part of their over-optimization algo (combined with looking like one big advertisement)

        Exactly. There's no reason to use "no follow" in places other than user submitted comment areas. I always laughed when peopled used "no follow" to 'sculpt' their internal link structure.

          Well if your site is full of nothing but links to sponsor galleries then it is a page full of ads.

              nofollow never made sense...

              it's a waste of time and it will only hurt your site to give it a NO NATURAL look...

                From what I have read is Google looks at everything above the fold. If there are too many ads and little content then it will hurt rankings. They have a full tutorial on google webmaster about the new Panda update.

                  Don't think it make that much of a difference. But if you have too many like using it for links for hundreds of galleries it can make your whole webpage look long and bulky to google.

                    What is a "natural" look? Slopped together and unprofessional?

                    I don't think nofollow in itself is bad but abusing it, especially on internal links, is bad. If a site is nothing but ads or gallery links it's going to get punished with out without nofollow.
