We’re aware of and very strongly tuned against facilitating the “Googlebowling” you’ve expressed concerns about… and, in fact, I’ve never seen an example of that in the wild.

I do have a "Buy Advertising" link in the right side panel which I planned on selling text links so in this case it would be better to use the nofollow attribute according to what you have just said? I didn't really want to do this as it prevents my advertisers from getting there pr/traffic allocation which they so rightfully deserve, I mean they are paying for it right! So how should I navigate this problem? Only have a selected area to allow advertising? Thanks for your suggestions. Cheers for the reply Andy.

If the links are relevant - even if they are paid - I wouldn't bother. Google won't likely punish your site for not using nofollow, but it could in theory prevent your links from passing PageRank. I hope that helps. @Bree – If you plan on linking to sites that have nothing to do with your site, or you’ve made it obvious that the links are part of a directory, or it’s clear that the links are there only because they paid, then you might want to consider using the nofollow.

So I make sure I link to clean Websites! I use to think same as Dockarl, about respecting the developers and leaving their link on the bottom of their work. Until I did a neighborhood link check on phpBB. I found out they link to many sub industry Websites... I do not want to put those word on this board. So because I was linked to phpBB my forum was infested with sub industry Spam. phpBB disclaimer states you can remove the copyright but please leave the link or you may not be able to get product support. Well I never got product support from them and I have removed their bad neighborhood link. I want to follow Google Webmaster Guideliness of not linking to bad Websites. I have written many mods to fix the phpBB plague that has infected my forum. All of this I am doing with an intent to provide the same service to other forum and blog users via project PHSDL that I have started. So let's all stand up and support not using nofollow.
