No Follow Links
No follow links are used to tell search engine crawlers not to follow certain outbound and inbound links on your website. They can be used for different reasons and are very easy to implement.
Why Use The No Follow Attribute
To keep your website strong you should try not to have too many outbound links and the ones that you do have should be to websites which have authority or a descent page rank. By using the no follow link attribute you can provide outbound links to any useful websites regardless of their strength because the search engines will simply ignore them. Another reason for using no follow links is to block search engines from following certain inbound links to private sections of your own website.
Creating A No Follow
Creating a no follow link is easy, simply add the code below to the links that you want the search engines to ignore.
Standard link:
<a href=”http://www.cheapwebdesign.co.uk“>Cheap Web Design</a>
Link with no follow attribute:
<a href=”http://www.cheapwebdesign.co.uk” rel=”nofollow”>Cheap Web Design</a>
That’s it. We hope that you can now block all your unwanted links.
Please note if you have an agreement to provide a link to another website that adding a no follow attribute may be breaking your terms.
