SEO Secrets: DIGG vs Reddit and nofollow hell that kills your backlinks

Media_httpfarm4static_nabje

Have you ever wondered why your blog, ecommerce website, or web app doesn't show up in Google for anything remotely searchable? Basically, there are only two factors that count in getting you to page one of a Google search.

1. Number of linksĀ 

2. Words used in those links.

So you think, "well, if I just get a ton of links and DIGGs from DIGG.com, I'll be flying up the ranks in Google!"

Nope. Doesn't work that way. There's a caveat. DIGG.com links are all NOFOLLOW. So are Youtube links. Google Groups too. So any links from these sites are totally useless. I really hope you're not paying a SEO guy money to do diddly squat. How do you spell "did-ly?"

Nice post. It seems very hard these days to find a quality website that doesn't use nofollow.
