Thank you so much Ali for sharing such precious tutorials with us,
may be it took a long time for you to learn these things a huge search too. But you are guiding us from your expirience very nicely.
I have seen your all videos i really enjoyed will wait for next..
Do you recommend finding one article per content link page? or multiple? ie...?
if you were to find multiple cinnamon coffee cake recipe articles,
would you stack them all on that one page or would you build out multiple pages for all of the articles?
Sorry, this time I disagree.
It's no good to waste GoogleBots' time having 'em crawl to pages of low public interest just to encounter a noindex robots meta tag. Only high quality content should make it's way into the index, and the less time the Googlebots waste, they more they can spend on finding it.
I use lots of internal nofollow links on may major site and it is prooved this is okay.

Come on, youtube is a part of the big money machine google and they use nofollow on internal links. So did the guys from youtube not know how google works or did they know it better then all other webmasters?
@Alexeixx3
Still no. The reason is that whether or not you have nofollow on external links you can't get more pagerank to flow through your site. It will "disappear" or "evaporate" if you have nofollow links ; it won't go to other links. (I was just about to write an article about this).
Thanks for the clear answer. Now I am waiting for a video about nofollow links, but not on internal links. Some information on that subject would be nice.
Even if you wanted to avoid having your login page indexed, wouldn't using nofollow be the wrong approach? Even if you manage to nofollow every link to that page, you might not be the only place in the world that links to it, and Google might still crawl it anyway as nofollow just avoids flowing pagerank.
It seems to me that any time you might want to nofollow an internal link, a noindex meta tag would be more appropriate.
If you have one menu at the top of the page and another one at the bottom of the page containing the same links, is it ok to add nofollow on the links from the bottom of the page? (basically they have follow on the top of the page).
Generalizing a little, if you have on a page a link multiple times, it is ok to to say on the 2nd, 3rd... link nofollow?
Matt, I gotta say . . . nofollow is evil, period.
I've written about this several times at Answer Guy Central blog, most comprehensively on January 6, 2010:
Seriously; I just think that tag is a bad idea. Always. I understand why you guys created it, but it's only REALLY useful when applied BY you; anyone else using it is doing evil (hmmm . . .) And as I recall, and old Google axiom was "Don't Be".
I want to redub Matt's videos based solely on his hand gestures. Try it out for yourself: put the video on mute and let your imagination go wild! I think this one is about waterwheels in a Rube Goldberg machine.
