preventing pagerank leakage

scisoft · 27-05-2004, 12:42 PM

Hi there.

I have posted similar question on a different forum, but I did not get an acceptable transfer.

I would like to economise pagerank at my site. Specifically I would like to prevent leaking pagerank from the main page to several top hierarchy pages with no seo value, like "Contact" etc. I know the javascript and php redirect
methods, but...

What do you think about the "index, nofollow" trick? I have stubled about this somewher, but I am unable to get more info.

Attempting "index, no follow" would be a rather antiquated way of approaching what is effectively utilised by a robots.txt file in trying to disallow bots from following links.

However, "follow" is the operative word here - the links almost certainly will still be recognised and counted. Thus I very much doubt that you could prevent PR leakage at all without modifying the actual outgoing links from the page, so that the links cannot be recognised as links. That's a key issue to channeling PR.
