If you want to learn a quick way to add some HTML to a link so it becomes “nofollow” you’re definitely in the right place!
So Tyronne. What is a “nofollow” link?
A nofollow link is a link with the “nofollow” attribute that tells the major search engines like Google & Bing to ignore the link and not count it towards a website’s backlink profile.
The website you link out to can still get referral traffic from people clicking on the link but they won’t get credit for a backlink (in most cases).
How To “nofollow” An Outgoing Link (Step-By-Step)
Go to a WordPress post you have published in the past.
Switch to “Text” mode inside your WordPress editor and add the code
rel = “nofollow” to the end of any URL you want to nofollow.
Code Example:
Here is an <a href=”https://www.semrush.com/goodcontent/title-generator/” target=”_blank” rel = “nofollow”>awesome tool</a> to create attention grabbing titles!
The word “rel” is the name of the HTML attribute and “nofollow” is the nofollow attribute’s value.
