Right. It’s perfectly fine to have other sites link to you with rel=nofollow applied to the link. It’s just that search engines say they won’t count the link equity that would normally be passed through the link.

Thanks Ivan.

If you mean value in seo terms, then yes Google would need to have crawled and indexed the page before the links on the page would have value.

However, don’t forget the direct value in the link itself. A page that hasn’t been indexed or cached might still get viewed a lot and a link on that page can still drive traffic.

It does sound ‘obvious’ but a link from the page that Google has in it’s cashe has a value. And only a link from such a page has a value.

BTW Excellent article!

True. Links have a lot of benefit in and of themselves. Not everything needs to be about the search engines.

Makes sense. Bare in mind an embedded link in a flash or java application, though not picked up by search engines, can still prove very very valuable, depending on how many human users view the app.

Thanks. Links from sites targeting the same keyword do help tie you into the theme around that keyword.

Thanks Jessica. I’m glad it helps and I’m glad it makes sense. I do try to make sure everyone can understand no matter what level of experience you have.

And feel free to call me Steve both her and at the forum.
