		<description>Hi Rochelle!

"(...) Make your intel match your backlink (...) You want your intel article to match the backlink as closely as possible (...)"

There's no need whatsoever for the intel matching the backlinks. Such a connection means nothing to Qassia, nor to the effectiveness of your backlinks. There's no other relationship between the two, than that you need to post a piece of intel in order to GET a backlink.

Be well!

		<description>Thank you for this wonderful site. I'm slowly working my way through your many excellent posts and guides. I have eight excellent BANS sites and very little traffic. I've bookmarked your site and I am using your helpful insight to rectify that.</description>

		<description>Dewitt,

Excellent ideas!  I hadn't thought of doing what you suggest but I love the ideas you propose.  Yes, they certainly would produce cookies and possible commissions.

Thank you, btw, for the sign up.

		<description>Thanks for the info Rochelle. I joined up at Qassia under you, and have added several intel articles. Along the same vein as this discussion. What about using the no-follow links in the article to lead people directly to eBay or any other affiliate program with your embedded affiliate number? While these links wouldn't have any SEO juice, wouldn't they still produce a cookie and possible commissions?</description>

		<description>Thanks, James.  I confirmed this with a plugin (I couldn't figure out how to use SEOquake, which is a shame as it looks like an interesting plugin).  It showed that the 'Courtesy Of' link is a quality backlink (it allows spiders to follow it) and the others aren't.

So now we know.  There is one quality backlink per intel.  Any other link added, whether in the intel itself or under, is a nofollow link.

		<description>I went to Qassia and looked at your account and from there, using my SEOQuake addon for FireFox, I can see that the links inside your articles are NOFOLLOW, as well as the external links.</description>
