All Nofollow

FAQ

What is a rel nofollow link?

A rel="nofollow" link is an HTML attribute that instructs search engines not to follow or pass SEO credit to the linked page. This attribute is often used to prevent spammy or untrusted links from affecting a website’s search engine rankings. By adding nofollow to a link, you signal to search engines that you don’t endorse the content of the linked page, helping to maintain the integrity and credibility of your site.

How to add (set) nofollow to external links in WordPress?

Adding nofollow to external links in WordPress can be achieved manually or by using plugins. Manually adding nofollow involves editing each link in your posts or pages and adding the rel="nofollow" attribute. However, this can be time-consuming, especially for sites with numerous links.

1. Install and Activate the Plugin:

   • Upload the all-nofollow plugin to your WordPress site and activate it through the Plugins menu.

2. Navigate to Settings:

Once configured, the All Nofollow plugin will automatically manage the nofollow attributes for external links, ensuring consistency and saving you valuable time.
