Digg No Follow Links Approved by Matt Cutts
Yesterday, Digg announced it has pulled its policy on the nofollow element on external links. They will be adding rel=”nofollow” to any external link.
“We’ve made a few changes to the way Digg links to external sites that may impact some folks in the SEO community,” says Digg’s John Quinn.
“These changes reduce the incentive to post spammy content (or link spam) to Digg, while still flowing ’search engine juice’ freely to quality content.”
It Means:
* External Links from Comments.
* External Links from User profiles and Story Pages too.
Digg also talked about it search feature which they launched earlier this year. Today Google’s Matt Cutts also share what he feels about this. Matt Cutts explained why he is backing the move:
Digg Nofollow Links.
Matt Cutts Says : “I think this is pretty smart,” says Cutts. “Digg isn’t adding nofollow to everything, just the links that they’re less sure about. Once a story looks real to them, I can imagine that they would lift the nofollow.”
“So new move by Digg is a positive change in my opinion, because Digg decreases the benefit for spammy stories but Digg still helps normal and high-quality stories in the search engines,” says Cutts.
