Anto: Thanks for the addition. You are right, I forgot those.

mrw: You don’t need a tool for this, you can see using Google search or simply looking at the site, page in question. I may suggest this feature to the cognitiveSEO team though.

seotiras: A link in an article is best, sidebar comes second and footer is the least valuable.

Link Fabrik and Heather: True, a natural link profile is very important indeed. I have written an article about that as well elsewhere, I think on SEOptimise.

In terms of Google PR value nofollow may not be useful but I’ve made use of nofollow links by having users click on it and land on my site.

My mentor has read that some “no follows” links are good for the natural development of a profile so that they do have some value. Thoughts?
Thanks for the resource Tad!

I would use for a link building campaign also nofollow links because I have made really good experiences with them. But much more important for a good link building is a broad heterogeneity in the backlink structure – so that your website doesn’t have only dofollow or nofollow backlinks, but both of them. Also the context of the website with the backlink is very important, so look that there will appear your keywords. And last but not least, you need time – linkbuilding is not a project but a process I have got really good results with this guidelines.
