Great post - very informative and easy to read. I am still pretty new to SEO so have bookmarked your blog as I obviously still have lots and lots to learn. Thanks.

Good information about SEO, and very valid information on how faster SEO works.

This just goes to show the importance of testing in SEO. I actively test lots of things to get hard and fast answers to many of the things that remain speculative in SEO.

Are you claiming to be an SEO beginner, as you made some of these mistakes with a number of pages on your site?

As so many others said above. This post is really useful and a real eye opener for someone trying her best to grapple with SEO and being thwarted at every turn with conflicting information.
Like Julie, I think I'll wait a couple of months for the knowledge level to accumulate before I even attempt to tackle the pros and cons of no follow and dangling pages, so this post is bookmarked until then ;)

Wow Andy,
Everytime I start to think I understand the game someone like yourself throws me a little "wrench/news" that reminds me that the world is not flat. Your argument on the issues of dangling pages is tough to agree 100% without just drinking the kool-aid.

@Andy

True ... However, If read very carefully ... we may deduce from Ian's writing that dangling pages are not a wise move ...

I try to use the implementation from his fifth example, which fully suggests that child pages should support the parent(s).

Unfortunately, this too leads to child pages that "sacrifice" their PR ... to the benefit of the parent ...

That is one of the better pages, certainly far better than the Wikipedia page. Unfortunately like everywhere else it didn't take into consideration dangling pages, which mess up everyone's thought process when they actually stop to think about what is happening.

I had a customer who was linking to Wikipedia in almost every single post that he wrote. All dofollow links, of course. Your explaination of why to nofollow Wikipedia references (with a little creative addition or two) really helped him understand.

Andy - once again you cease to impress with the effort and diligence to writing a great post. We are starting to use some of these tools and graphics for our internal training and documentation.

What comes as second nature to us as internet marketers is not often as easily grasped by our employers and clients. i can't tell you how many times I have pencil or white-board drawn the same chicken scratch tactical approaches for link structures and now I can just point them to your work here.

Thanks for taking such effort to put out awesome content and diagrams. I have bookmarked your site on some social bookmarking sites and will spread the word to all I work with in industry.

Best,
Joe

This no follow tag appears to be as dangerous as updating a plugin when you have a lot of other plugins, you never know quite how it's going to fit in.I think I'll wait another six months for the knowledge level to rise before I tackle no follow. Can you find and replace a whole blog then? Hell, I've got no rank to share so I may as well send my juice on.

Your excellent instruction is bookmarked though, I'll be back.

I have been working on a project called "the one theme" inspired by CSS Zen Garden. The idea would be to create a single markup that could converted to theme WordPress, Blogger, NucleusCMS, typo, etc and then the pretty stuff is done only by CSS. I'd love to create the "perfect" SEO base with that markup (or designed with SEO in mind). If only to separate the design and the HTML (making wordpress themes safer).

Much appreciated Jack, though making it to the final was reward in itself with such notable judges and so much competition.
