We have some breaking news to tell you! We’ve reported on nofollow on many occasions, but we are the first to tell you that Google has just launched NoFollow Google Help Center. Matt Cutts revealed this news in an interview with Mike McDonald at SMX Advanced in Seattle. Blogger Liana “Li” Evans called Google out on not posting any information on the subject but today, they did. The help center allows users to have a background and better understanding of nofollow.
