I have no idea too. Need to check his this month’s earning to figure that out. Plus, he even claims that only a fraction of his income comes from text links ads. So, I don’t think he will see a lot of difference there.

since i never use paid link/sell paid link, so i don’t know if Google will penalize those who use dofollow link to get paid.Well, my question, did john chow earnings decrease after he followed the G rules? =)

Bing gave good source of traffic at the introduction phase. But, lately it is dropping. I don’t know what is happening to Bing.

i hope Bing do give google a run for it’s money and I hope that microsoft introduce a rival against Adsense. Competition is good for consumers!

I’m glad he have joined too. But, I don’t see Google suffering because of John. Google may suffer because of bing, not John.

I’m glad to see that John has jumped back on board the Google train. Seriously, both he AND Google were suffering from the standoff. John’s got a creative edge and that should be worth something.

I’m pretty sure that’s what I said, just a bit differently so yes I agree, mostly.

I’ve read that report and watched the video as well. I still find a contradiction in what he says. He says (and it’s common knowledge) that PR is valued by many things and one of those things is the number of sites linking in. It doesn’t matter if it’s followed or not because we are simply talking about inbound links which Google will spider regardless of the rel tag and if its nofollow it simply won’t pass any PR to that link from the original site. But it is still spidered, and it is still counted as an inbound link.

This could only mean that getting enough inbound links, even nofollow link, will actually add weight to your PR.

Just a theory and I am experimenting with it at the moment but it will take some time before I will get any conclusive results.

Google does not completely removed John Chow blog earlier. It was still listed but on deeper pages. Even the penalty goes from PR5 to PR3 unlike other blogs from any PR to PR0. Only on recent John’s penalty it goes to PR0. I think they still give chance for bloggers to follow some google webmaster rules.

It’s good to see you have some rules to give dofollow link. But, in my dofollow search engine, all blogs gives dofollow link on first comment. It may lead to spam links, but I would like to share only sites that gives dofollow link to comments with minimal limitations.

I just want to clear 2 points here

1. Nofollow links does not pass page rank value
2. Nofollow links does not help google serp ranking.

I strongly suggest all to read http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/pagerank-sculpting/ written on June 15 09.

Please refer:
***Nofollow links definitely don’t pass PageRank. Over the years, I’ve seen a few corner cases where a nofollow link did pass anchortext, normally due to bugs in indexing that we then fixed. The essential thing you need to know is that nofollow links don’t help sites rank higher in Google’s search results.***
