However in any implementation it is important to comply with search engine guidelines to avoid negative repercussions for SEO. How do publishers ensure that sponsored content complies with Google’s guidelines? Make sure that links within sponsored content have the “nofollow” attribute or are coded so that they are inaccessible to crawlers.

SEMPO, The Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization , is taking advantage of text links in advertorials, clearly a violation Google Webmaster Guidelines for link schemes. As professional SEOs who are paid to know these guidelines and advise others, we should hold SEMPO and its Board of Directors to higher standards. The sole link in the article does not have a “nofollow” attribute added to the link.

To quickly determine if a link is dofollow or nofollow, you can install the Chrome Nofollow extension, which will highlight all nofollow links. Whenever you come to a site that links out to external sources with nofollow links, it will look like in the screenshot below. Meta nofollow.

Over the past several years, Google and Bing have released guidelines for webmasters to make websites more crawlable. This is a consolidation of all the guidelines released by Google and Bing over the years to improve onsite optimization. Noindex and Nofollow. Any irrelevant pages like terms of use, PDF files, privacy policy, and sitemaps should be nofollowed. Use your own discretion as to other pages you may want to nofollow.

As I covered in SEO Guidelines for Sponsored Content and Partner Links , there are SEO implications to be aware of. Since Outbrain links are paid links, its modules comply with search engine guidelines and do not pass SEO value (a good thing as this protects the participating publishers). In some cases like Yahoo, the links within syndicated content are nofollow (and they often point to Yahoo tracking URLs with 302 redirects) and thus do not pass SEO value.

Links in all the content are typically nofollowed and comply with all FTC and Google Webmaster Guidelines. Guest blogging for SEO purposes started its downfall recently, especially with Google penalizing MyBlogGuest , and before that it was Google finding and penalizing advertorials.

Google wants links in advertorials to be tagged with the nofollow attribute and the FTC requires full disclosure. I would like to note that those text link ads do not appear to have the “nofollow” attribute on them. Unfortunately, we do not have access to Google’s internal algorithm and how they are identifying issues on websites that they deem to be against their Google Webmaster Guidelines.

Included in the new guidelines are not only the carrot recommendations (DO) but increasingly Google is using the stick on those sites it perceives to be gaming the system (DON’T). And some blog owners code their site to use the “nofollow” tag, which tells Google to ignore any links in comments.But heh, be a friend and leave a blogger a comment!

To state it most simply, a style guide is where you put into writing the guidelines for how you want your blog to be written and presented. Whilst other bloggers include more broader guidelines like what brand colors should be used. Most larger publications, most media would adopt the spelling and grammatical guidelines of an external style guide. And this I’ve just kind of lumped into an other style guidelines section. Also guidelines around linking as well.

Penguin, announced in April 2012, decreased search visibility of websites that participated in black-hat SEO, keyword stuffing, cloaking, link schemes , duplicate content, and other activities that violated Google Webmaster Guidelines. Links can do this regardless of whether or not they contain the “nofollow” attribute, contain redirects, come from a site with a high PageRank , and so on. If the blog has guest post guidelines, be sure to follow those in your submission.

Bloggers who are compensated can use the “nofollow&# tag within their outbound links to keep those links from being tagged by Google as paid content. The nofollow may well make that harder, but then again, if you are under contract I think it’s the buyer’s responsibility to track the postings of the paid blogger.

Well, as my recent blog posts have shown, I don’t follow the Google guidelines like I used to. If you don’t read the rest of this very long post then let me summarise it as this: Google is failing to enforce their guidelines on a huge scale, especially when it comes to big brands. The point I’m trying to make however is that Google simply can’t (or won’t) follow through on their own guidelines…as usual.

Whether or not an idea fits perfectly within Google’s guidelines. But the challenge really shows and the end result is something I can only describe as Google search results not being fair based on the guidelines they set. Mostly nofollow and those that are dofollow are spammed to hell. In 1865, Fredik Idestam built a pulp mill on the banks of the Tammerkoski River in southwestern Finland.
