On February 26, 2009, Google software engineer Matt Cutts collected questions on Google Moderator and answered many of them on video. Vince Samios from the United Kingdom asked: Do you feel that the widespread and blanket use of nofollow tags is devaluing Google’s search algorithms? Examples such as Wikipedia, where ALL external links are nofollow. Does Wikipedia mean nothing to Google’s algorithms? jonaths from Brighton, UK asked: Do Google take into account quality factors from nofollowed links when the links come from well established authority websites, such as Wikipedia?

I really don’t trust wikipedia anyhow and rarely use it unless I want to find out a celebs bday. I heard there was going to be more verifying so I may use it in the future. The idea that anyone could add “facts” to me was crazy too many people don’t know what they are talking about or malciously do things just for “fun”
‘nofollow’ taken into consideration when its an intenal link
when its a nofollow on external link (backlink), google does move pr juice to it
it was tested
Greetings, I read that Google had decided to drop the nofollow rule on links and it is just not taken into account. Is it true? Thanks
great vid
Great explanation. I think that Google must follow the no-follow links anyway, because some content is worth following. Besides that, everyone starts using no-follow and that’s not good for relevant search results.
GReat tx for the information.
And one more. Is information that is placed on my google docs (spreadsheat, presentation, document) and that google document is embeded on my page contributing to my page rank ?
Hi Mat, didn’t know to who else to complain to se here it goes: there is no option to insert hyperlink into google docs spreadsheet that i want to embed in my page. There is probably a good reason for this, but i am still hoping that google just forgot to do this
Hi Matt, I’m listing items from eBay in my site through their RSS Feeds and I was wondering if this links should have the “no follow” attribute? I’ll appreciate if you can answer me that question. Thank you!!
Personally I hope they keep the nofollow attribute on all of my blogs and sites I use them constantly only giving away link juice to those deserving rather than anyone. If wiki went do follow it would be hit with hundreds of thousands of spammers all placing crap just to get a backlink.
uuuu who is that girl passing on 1:47
Let’s say for instance, one large company (with a large 50K+ website and good SEO) acquires another company within the same industry (which also has a large 50K+ website and good SEO). Since the acquisition, both sites now provide links back and fourth between one another. Would using nofollow in this circumstance make sense?
Would be really good to get subtitles or at least the option for subtitles on your videos Matt. Your sign language isn’t exactly up to scratch…
Well this isn’t exactly what I would have liked to hear Matt but thanks for the clarity on the significance (or lack of) links from Wikipedia.
That will save us valuable resources.

Cant say that I have looked but I imagine that a lot of says republish Wikipedia. I could see some of them removing nofollow since the links in Wikipedia very often is very good and hence maybe see that they would increase possibility to traffic with especially Google (I remember now something I saw comining Wikipedia pages with data from similar web references).
Maybe such pages would add up to some power with Google even you dont rank each on any position visible.
Great advice, thank you.
