Dofollow/Nofollow links for SEO

[ChrisW3]

We had an SEO report done for https://www.physioworldshop.co.uk and one factor was links missing the "rel=nofollow" attribute

The links are for social media and parcel tracking etc.

Is it important to make these nofollow or will it not make a difference?

Hi,

You need to add rel attribute for anchor
<a href="http://www.example.com/" rel="nofollow">Link text</a>

Webmasters are encouraged to use the nofollow attribute to prevent Google from crawling, indexing, and analyzing a link that you would rather Google not associate with your site.

For Sponsored

<a href="http://www.example.com/" rel="sponsored">Link text</a>

For UGC (user-generated content)

<a href="http://www.example.com/" rel="ugc">Link text</a>

Thanks

Is there a way of doing this in bulk?

Hi,

You need to this one by one by editing the code in each file.

Thanks

Hello @ChrisW3,

Gina here from flareAI.

dofollow and nofollow are ways to specify the relationship between the current website/URL and the linked website/URL.  

dofollow is the default means if you haven't specified dofollow or nofollow in the hyperlink, by default the URL will be crawled by Google and other search engines to point back to your website.

If you add nofollow to a hyperlink it directs search engines not to use the link for page ranking calculations.

If you want a URL to get crawled and indexed by the search engine, you have to make sure rel="nofollow"  is not specified in the URL.

Hope this was helpful.

Hello, could you please tell me which file? I want to add default nofollow in my blog for every external link.
