Think about how can one make the contact page useful when linking out from it. I’m brainstorming as we speak.

The best way to not get an unimportant page indexed is to not put it on your Web site.

Don’t look at it as trying to pass PR. Look at it as not getting unimportant pages indexed. You don’t need printer-friendly pages indexed, do you? Yes, I know there are other ways of doing that through coding, but simply adding a nofollow tag can do the trick.

1. Tell me why you dont want content on your website index.
2. Then show me evidence that if you do block your content that it helps your other content rank better.

bihonline: “Rel=â€nofollowâ€ on selected internal links helps a lot, if you know what youâ€™re doing.”

Michael: Well, I’ve yet to find anyone who actually knows how to do it. In fact, I’ve yet to find anyone who can actually make a coherent, logical argument in favor of NOT linking to content that has been placed on a Web site.

…ridiculous attempt to justify…
…shoot yourself in the foot…
…how stupid search engine optimizers who like to â€™sculpt PageRankâ€™ can really be…
…It takes a complete and total moron to try to rationalize the idea…
…It takes a completely incompetent ass…
…Leave PageRank sculpting to idiots…
…leave them to sit in the dark…
…the only things with holes are their heads and their stupid, clumsy, unprofessional ideas about sculpting PageRank.

uhm… great post… for some, I guess.

Rel=”nofollow” on selected internal links helps a lot, if you know what you’re doing.
It doesn’t really matter whether that has anything to do with PageRank or not.

So funny:

“and other sites who may be telling you to â€œContact Michael Martinez to tell him what a jerk he is for pointing out just how stupid search engine optimizers who like to â€™sculpt PageRankâ€™ can really beâ€.’

GREAT POST, pat on the back for your Micheal for being strong and continuing to post the obvious when some many others are tripping over themselves to get this implemented on their websites.
