		<description>Hey Valerie,
I just read Jey's post. I have uploaded the no-follow plugin so that should help. I have also moved the blog roll onto a seperate page. That is not just to do with this issue, more the amount of space it was taking on my front page!
As for flying the nest....couldn't agree more.
All the best

		<description>Hi Mark,

Rummaging through the various contributions to the big blogroll debate, I think there is a blog post that should be read by all of AJ's students and the salutory lesson taken on board.  Whether we get slapped or not (and no-one wants to be of course), we are seeking, nay, needing to attract traffic, and so we need to be found, don't we?

Read Jey Kumara's article on how he went from being on page 2 to page 39, and back again when he installed NoFollow.

http://www.jeykumara.com/39th-page-google-search-2nd-page/

I have been getting to know my AJ family, and now it is time to fly the nest.  External links will be our routes to monetization so I'd better stop being a busy fool, and get down to the real work.  (Not to minimise what we are doing within our community, but there are only so many hours in the day, and I have to wise up or bail out.  I know which way I am going.)

To everyone's success.

		<description>Hi Sarah
I hope you had a good time in Cuba, I bet you did :)
This is a real issue and as you see I have changed my blog roll set up. Sorry you link is not working and I will get that fixed. No problem cut&#038;pasting it, glad to help. Don't freak out, your site is getting there. There are others I visit that make me feel the same way too!

		<description>Hi Mark,
Wow, you have tons of information. I had no idea that there was an issue with the blogs. I actually cut and pasted all of your work onto a page on my site. (I hope that's okay, let me know if it's not). Has anyone had an issue with the blog rolls or is it one of those rumour things like "hotmail will shut down your e-mail unless you send a message to everyone on your list in 3 seconds"?

I noticed that my name is on your blog roll but the link is not. When you have some time, will you add it please? Unless there is some real issue that will affect all this, then don't worry about it :)

I can't believe you feel guilty for taking some time off! You have so much stuff going on. I compare my site to yours sometimes and freak out! 

Keep up the great work, and thank you!

Sarah

		<description>Hi Tim

Well done for setting up the option of copying your blog roll, outstanding effort, keep up the great work!

		<description>Hi Mark

This is what I've noticed thus far, the blog roll (on it's own page) has given me several backlinks on Google and a better ranking. For a few of my targeted keywords, I'm within the top 10. I can't say it's all because of the blog roll, but I did notice a bump when I changed from the homepage long list to posting a link on my homepage to my blog roll page. 

If any of the F-500 are interested, I did make a few copy/paste options for anyone to use on their blogs. You can find the link on my blogroll page.

		<description>Hi Di,
Congratulations on being the first person in the short history of our blogs to be asked to be taken off a blog roll,LOL
Seriously though, you have made some very good points and the fact you have asked to be removed shows how important this issues is.
I bow to your experience of 8yrs in SEO and we all need advice from people such as yourself.
Maybe you can get on the next webinar and raise the issue with Alex?
All the best
