Thank you so much Ali for sharing such precious tutorials with us,
may be it took a long time for you to learn these things a huge search too. But you are guiding us from your expirience very nicely.
I have seen your all videos i really enjoyed will wait for next..
Sorry, this time I disagree.
It's no good to waste GoogleBots' time having 'em crawl to pages of low public interest just to encounter a noindex robots meta tag. Only high quality content should make it's way into the index, and the less time the Googlebots waste, they more they can spend on finding it.
I use lots of internal nofollow links on may major site and it is prooved this is okay.

Come on, youtube is a part of the big money machine google and they use nofollow on internal links. So did the guys from youtube not know how google works or did they know it better then all other webmasters?
Thanks for the clear answer. Now I am waiting for a video about nofollow links, but not on internal links. Some information on that subject would be nice.
Matt, I gotta say . . . nofollow is evil, period.
I've written about this several times at Answer Guy Central blog, most comprehensively on January 6, 2010:
Seriously; I just think that tag is a bad idea. Always. I understand why you guys created it, but it's only REALLY useful when applied BY you; anyone else using it is doing evil (hmmm . . .) And as I recall, and old Google axiom was "Don't Be".
