Internal reciprocals.

[phantom]

I know it's not called recripocral when it's internal structure but i have a question.

I have a website that, backwards and forwards, for each article I have links so it's

article 1 > article 2 > article 3

and vice versa

article 3 > article 2 > article 1

So the links go from one to the next to the next.

I also have links linking all related articles together on one page, I've made these nofollow..

For an ultimate structure what would I want to do here?

1. Remove the article1 > article 2 > article 3 and keep the related links (with Nofollow)

2. Remove the article1 > article 2 > article 3 and keep the related links (with follow)

3. Remove the related links and keep article 1 > article 2> article 3?


Or something different, I'm big time testing here but maybe someone has already done this?

Thanks.

HI
Why? You don't trust the quality of those related articles?

Me thinks you may have fallen into ye olde PageRank Sculpting that's been popularized so heavily in the recent past. Which is complete and utter bs. If that's the case you might want to read this thread on the subject.

When you get to the end you'll notice that the advise from all parties are to create good content and link to it in a way that makes it available to your visitors, letting the search engines do with it what they naturally would.
Thanx

Hello,
Indeed, and I question the quality of a tutorial that presents such a misinformed directive. If you're going to use a tutorial in the development of your site, let it be for usability (to improve the experience of your visitors). Don't be embarrassed by asking questions and don't let yourself be intimidated by responses. A few years ago I might have asked the same question, and because of excellent advice from people like Jill, Randy and Qwerty, my sites have done very well, and ultimately, I ask increasingly better questions.
