No Follow

Last Updated: Feb. 17th 2022 at 11:22pm

Nofollow is a great way to reduce comment spam and keep your site a reputable source for search engines.

Nofollow allows webmasters to tell search engines links to ignore. Nofollow allows either all the links on a page or specific links on a page to be ignored.

Nofollow Examples

It’s easiest to show examples of how to use nofollow.
If you would like to read more about nofollow, take a look at my references.

Examples:

<!-- Hide the whole page -->
<meta name="robots" content="nofollow" />

<!-- Hide a single link -->
<a href="https://spamPalace.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;Keywords&lt;/a>

It is important to note that browsers don’t use the attribute in anyway.
The attribute is only for search engines.
