So what does this mean? I believe that just as the search engines have acknowledged the limits of webmaster declaration of untrusted or paid content and often downgrade links they believe should have been nofollow, I believe they have to acknowledge the limits in the other direction as well. In other words, some nofollow links should be followed. In the interests of finding the best content for their searchers, search engines are increasingly going to have to use their own (algorithmic) judgment to disregard some nofollows and include those links in their link graph.
But we have also seen the first signs that this is actually happening. We have seen tests where new sites with only nofollow links to them are ranking. The most powerful example was list of egypt cell phone numbers the speed with which a new site (admittedly an exact match domain name) whose first link was from Wikipedia was indexed and began ranking - even before acquiring any subsequent links. Agree? Disagree? Think it's already happening? Think it's never going to happen? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
Ok, some of you may have heard this statement before from your mother, girlfriend, wife, co-worker, etc. But I think it’s an important lesson that needs to be stated again, and in my opinion has many implications for the SEO/SEM environment as well. HEARING - as defined by Wiktionary - is “The sense used to perceive sound,” which is something we do all day long. You hear lots of things like cars, wind, radio, typing, people, animals, etc.
Theories are all well and good
