If all links on the internet were nofollow links, where would that leave Google?

A Test for rel="nofollow" links and google PageRank

Just listening to Link Building in Depth with Peter Kent, specifically "Examining social networking links" explaining that Google has stated that a link with rel="nofollow" does not contribute to a pages PageRank. He goes on to say that they have also stated that it is up to the social network sites to manage which links are nofollows

Surely Google should manage which it thinks are worth looking at, as it is their search results that are affected. If all links on the internet were nofollow links, where would that leave Google?

It is an almost certainty that they do use links with rel="nofollow", they simply don't admit to it. A simple test would be:

Perhaps a more thorough test would be:

1. To create two sites or pages, with the same 'unique content'.
2. ONLY use nofollow links to get to one of the page from indexed sites (perhaps only Facebook)
3. Finally do a search on Google

If the site which has the nofollow links is higher then the page with no links, then Google is using rel="nofollow" links

Drupal restore from backup

well, I've been drupal'ed. Time to restore. thought I'd export content type and content. Here's how:

http://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/39417/export-content-types-using-features

http://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/20498/export-content-in-features-using-uuid-features

couldn't do the second of these tutorials as it was written in 2012 and I think things have changed.




Here's what I did to restore:

1. Downloaded the database (for backup)
2. downloaded all files (for backup)
3. downloaded the new drupal
4. uploaded all new drupal files (replacing old files)
5. done

It was a while ago I did this so I'm not entirely sure but try this first next time.

Navigating to a viagra link came up with 'no such page'.

Sorted

Creating a Back Button in Joomla

So, I wanted to create a back button, as one of my articles did not provide an adequate link to the previous item. I found this article which describes a simple a tag which calls javascript. Heres the example:

Go back

for none javascript browsers he proposes this:

Go back

I then created a module called "Back Button" with this link, and made it appear only on the pages I wanted. It nearly worked but unfortunately I couldn't get the WYSYWIG editor to let me put the javascript entry in, it always wiped it out!!

Ended up going into the database and pasting it in myself! If someone could please let me know for next time how I get TINYMCE to let me put this code in to a customHTML module in Joomla!!

after comingback to this some time later, i accidentally saved it and it deleted the code! But now, if I want code I install flexi custom code, which lets you add javascript, php etc. to modules!
