NoFollow Tags In Article Directories

Our list of Top 50 Article Directories now marks those article directories which use nofollow tag in author’s resource box. These sites are marked with the NF! sign.

NoFollow Tag

nofollow is an HTML anchor link attribute used to instruct major search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link target’s ranking in the search engine’s index. The HTML code containing nofollow tag looks like this:

<a href="http://www.vretoolbar.com" rel="nofollow">VRE Toolbar</a>

Google announced in early 2005 that hyperlinks with rel=”nofollow” attribute would not influence the link target’s PageRank. In addition, the Yahoo and Bing search engines also respect this attribute. It actually tells a search engine “Don’t score this link”.

If you submit articles to gain PageRank and improve your search engine ranking, don’t waste time on article directories marked NF!

  2. Can you please explain the reasons why some of the article directories mentioned on your list use the NOFOLLOW tag and some others don’t?

  3. Hello, I do not understand why an article directory would use NF tag. Our article directory is also a DO Follow one so if you could place us in your list it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

  4. It is very bad culture that article directories started using nofollow tags. Peoples write article directories mainly to increase their ranking in search engines. But if article sites do not give this very simple chance, where will writers go?
