But we can do whatever we want to on our site to best serve our users.” Michael: Unless that means showing the most relevant content first. That seems to violate Google's standards. Matt Cutts: PR sculpting used to work. It doesn’t any more. If you NoFollow a link, you no longer shift the power to the page’s other links, the power just evaporates. Update: At the SEO Vets session, the consensus was Don’t Panic, and Don’t Change Anything. Michael: Yes, since PR sculpting wasn't working anyway, there is no point in undoing all the nonsense changes that people have learned to live with and depend on. That's called Placebo SEO and it makes you feel happy. Matt effectively said “We don’t tell you what to do, you can do whatever you want to, it’s your site.
