What is a nofollow Hyperlink

Nofollowed links are hyperlinks (anchor tag) with a rel=“nofollow” attribute. The nofollow attibute tells search engines to ignore that link.

It can be used anywhere in a html page. You cannot visually differentiate between followed and nofollowed links unless you inspect the html code.

Example:

<!-- This is nofollowed link -->
<a href="http://example.com/some-page.html" rel="nofollow"> Link Text </a>

<!-- This is followed link -->
<a href="http://example.com/some-page.html"> Link Text </a>

Note: If you want all links to be nofollowed in a webpage, then instead of adding rel=”nofollow” attribute to all links, just add a robots meta tag with value “nofollow” in the <head> section.

<head>
...
meta name="robots" content="nofollow" />
</head>
