How to add rel nofollow Html Tag in WordPress ?

Your website pages have many internal and external links. Internal links are links of your own site and external links are those links which navigate you to other sites. Some links are not very important but still you need them for your site. for example read more button link, comments links, latest posts links, breadcrumbs and many other like these. These links are your internal site links. These extra unimportant links crawled and indexed by search engines and make your site full of links. In some cases search engines give more importance to your internal breadcrumbs links instead of heading links and other inner important links just because of breadcrumbs are placed in top of other links. Same case with external links, if you are using links of other sites in your site pages, your Page Rank will be share with all those external linked sites. So to avoid sharing our PR with other sites and indexing unimportant internal links we use “nofollow” Html tag with links.

What are dofollow links ?

All links either they are internal or external, if they do not have “nofolow” tag , thay are considered as “dofollow” as default. So if you do not add rel=”nofollow” it means you are using dofollow link in your site. Your important internal pages links should be dofollow.

<a href=”https://superwebportal.com/”>This is a simple dofollow Link</a>

How to Add rel nofollow Html Tag in Links :

There is a simple and small html code which add nofollow tag in your link. If we want to add a nofollow tag in above link then we write link code as :

<a href=”https://superwebportal.com/” rel=”nofollow”>This is a  Nofollow Link</a>

OR

<a rel=”nofollow” href=”https://superwebportal.com/” >This is a  Nofollow Link</a>

No-follow links are crawled by search engines as only simple text and they will not cause your Page Rank. So always remember that its important to tell search engines about links you are using are nofollow or dofollow.
