The effect of having most of your IBLs nofollowed?

[ichthyous]

I have many IBLs coming in from two forum sites where I have placed links in my posts. The interior pages of my site depend heavily on the IBLs from these two sites and they have both recently added nofollow tags to all the links in their posts. Has anyone seen their site drop in Google after losing many links to nofollow tags? Thanks

Yes, I've seen rankings drop that depended heavily on links that were later no-followed. Time will tell for your situation, but I would expect to see a shift, if there's to be one, within a week or two. Google is re-crunching their numbers pretty fast these days - often as soon as the related pages are re-spidered.

Well, I lost the first batch of links in May and within 2-3 weeks my traffic had dropped 30%. The second batch were just nofollowed in the last few days...I can't wait to see the result!
