Recently I have been analysing my sites and I was shocked about the truth of feedjit and my bloglog widget.
The Feedjit widget is a traffic feed in which displays the geographic area of the website’s visitors in real time. Even though it does not uncover the IP address of a visitor, many people do not like the invasion of privacy at having one’s city shown publicly.

I don’t want to write about the privacy context here but more about SEO and PageRank context. Recently I wrote about my website PageRank(PR) update and surprisingly I found out the outbound link on the widget is do-follow which will make your PR link juice share with other do-follow link. This is bad because the outgoing link on feedjit widget is about 10 links will be shared together with other link which I don’t want to. It does make your site look presentable but for me, PageRank is more important in order for me to earn money online. For that reason, I remove all the feedjit widget on all my websites.

Same goes for mybloglog widget. The outgoing link is do-follow as well. So, I removed it for my website.

I Googled for a quite some time to find the solution to remove the dofollow tag but found nothing to prevent me from removing those widgets. Here is the analysis from the SeoQquake firefox plugin that shows the links from those widgets are dofollow.

I RED’ed’ some of the links because they are not related to feedjit and mybloglog widgets also my site privacy.

I hope that the Feedjit and mybloglog team will put a nofollow tag on their javascript code so that I can put them again on my website.

Here is a little bit advice from me. If you are making money with PR website, don’t add those two widgets on your website because it has high possibilities that your PR will go down by next PR updates because the outgoing links on those two widgets are DoFollow.

BUT

If you are just having a blog/website for personal use, I recommended you to use those widgets because those widgets will make you blog/website look more beautiful and presentable.

Last but not least,
Happy weekend!! Have a good one.
