This article discusses a few of the popular uses for no follow links and teaches you how to add a no follow to any html code.
There has been a lot of confusion about using no follow links and do follow links. Google has basically came out and said that any paid links should be no follow or your site could be penalized. Although paid links should be nofollow, many websites are making some internal links no follow.
Many larger websites have started making their terms of use and privacy policies no follow links as well. Some sites are doing this under the assumption that it will take less value away from the pages they want to rank well in search engines.
The benefits of no follow links for paid links are obvious but using them on your terms and privacy policy isn’t as obvious. Many people also suggest meta keywords and h1 title tags don’t make much of a difference either. But in my opinion, what if you have two websites with similar content, same amount of inbound links, which target the same keywords? Things like h1 title tags, meta keywords, and nofollow links on term of use pages might make the winning difference.
So how do you add a no follow link? Well a link in html code looks like this: <a href=”www.example.com”></a>
To add no follow, you will need to make it look like this: <a href=”www.example.com” rel=”nofollow”></a>
It may not make an immediate difference but no follow links can be beneficial in the long run. As SEO tactics continually change, you need to stay on top of every requirement.
