No Follow Tags

by JeD on December 20, 2008

Thank you very much Bingkee and Lea for commenting on my posts regarding Sponsored Posts and Page Ranks. With that, it had brought new light on how I could somehow take charge of my Page Rank by controlling “Link Juice” with the help of “No-Follow Tags.”

I’m reading a lot about ‘no-follow’ tags lately, I wonder what it really does and how can it help to save ‘link-juices.’ It was announced by Google early 2005, and this was used to tell search engines or spiders to not follow a link – or more like do not score this link. The link still exist but no link-juices are transferred. Well according to what I’ve read, it’s not transferring the link-juice per se but there’s a computation that diminishes your page rank when you link to other pages. No-follow tags can be added to links you do not wish to be scored. Just add rel=”nofollow” to the link code.

Example: <a href=”http://yourdomain.com” rel=”nofollow”>Link</a>

Adding no-follow tags to all your links seems a lot of work. Thankfully I found this plug-in called Meta Robots, which will help us easily tag no-follow to links we do not wish to follow. I already installed it in my blog and this is how I had set it.

no follow

Kindly correct me If I had done something wrong. But so far I think it’s working just fine.

I have been using that plugin for a while. I find it makes it easier to make dofollow or nofollow changes you might want on a single post too.

Have a great weekend!

Lea,

Thanks! I’m beginning to get the hang of this Page Rank and No-Follow thing. ;)

Cheers!!

plugins are all very well for the Wordpress community, but what about those of us on Blogger, who seem to have no alternative but to manually amend any links we want to be no-follow while making sure other links that we love get the juice.

solutions welcome.

Jenny,

I’ll do my best to find something regarding blogger’s no-follow.

Cheers!
