Lycos/Tripod Leads Lame List of NoFollow Freebies


While scouring the internet for sites where I can post my link (or create a free site and post my links), I've run across several who attach a nofollow code to your links. This makes the link essentially useless for SEO because search engines generally don't follow them. Why a company would do such a thing is beyond me, but here is the lame list of nofollow freebie sites that you probably shouldn't bother wasting your time submitting your site to. I'll also include the list of free sites who don't let you have an active hyperlink. All signs say those sorts of inactive links are equally as useless.

tripod.com – uses no follow (don’t bother)
wix.com – uses no follow (don’t bother)
businessadsforfree.com/r/DisplayPostAd - uses nofollow
linkhello.com – uses no follow
freetoadvertise.biz – they use nofollow
linkscout.com/index.cfm?page=FFA – masks the link, so probably not so good

No active hyperlink

epage.com/js/post/c42846/r464115/ - 33,770 - no active hyperlink
