But it will affect <i>outgoing</i> links - so if the reciprocal links you're referring to are the links going out from your site back to others then yes - they will be affected. Cheers, Martin. Steve, hi,

The ‘nofollow’ tag will not affect incoming links to your site – that’s correct.

But it will affect outgoing links – so if the reciprocal links you’re referring to are the links going out from your site back to others then yes – they will be affected.

Cheers,

Martin.

But does that meta tag affect any Reciprocal links? Would the Reciprocal links become Invalid if I use that NOFOLLOW tag.

Write great, quality content and give them a reason to keep coming back. That, combined with the other tools you mentioned (twitter, forums) are very powerful. I check twitter, facebook, and several forums from my webtop daily to see what my target market is buzzing about.

The spammers long ago found other ways to do their dirty stuff so the nf tag is less necessary now. It's still in place, though, and still the default setting in many cases. Cheers, Martin Hi Chris,
