Hello there,

I have 3 web sites, all related, but all different. One is a teaching web site, while another is a forum... where members are often linking to the teachings. Another is a blog where stories are shared, and it may link to the other two sites. And of course, the three sites will be linking back and forth often.

When I use the rel='nofollow' attribute, does this basically 'nullify' the link's importance for the search engines? That is what I understand, but I just wanted to make sure.

So if I heavy link between these sites, and use the rel='nofollow' attribute, I should be fine?

Thanks so much, I really appreciate any insight or confirmation that I'm on the right track!

Robert

No need to use that tag. Just host all 3 sites on totally different IPs.

Another thought I had was simply to do one of these numbers:

<a href="#" onClick="location.href='http://www.2ndsite.com'">Click here</a>

That would use JavaScript in place of the actual link.

I hate using any JavaScript at all though, because I know it's not good for the engines.
