On one of my pages on my sites I decided I don`t want any of the links to be followed, since most of them are to an affiliate site. I`d already placed rel="nofollow" on a few of the links, but decided I`d prefer to have all my links "nofollow." So, I placed the tag after the Title tag for that page, but, when I came to look at `properties` in Firefox the links didn`t show up as `nofollow.` I then moved that tag and placed it immediately below <head> but still the same. Am I placing it in the wrong position?
That`s what I can`t understand. I placed it in that position but as I wrote not all links are showing as "nofollow" only those I made that way individually through the links in HTML (rel="nofollow").
The NOFOLLOW tag doesn't nofollow the individual links. It tells the search engine to ignore every link on that page. So they won't show up as nofollow. Same result though.
Ah. Now that I didn`t know. Interesting, I wonder why? Anyway, if that`s the case it`s done what I wanted. Thanks for your answer. The only thing is, how come individual links on some blogs, like Wordpress, all immediately show up as "nofollow" as soon as a post is made, same with some forums?
That's usually because those systems use a plugin that adds the nofollow attribute to each link in comments and trackbacks. You can do the same in the posts but that's not always a good idea as folks won't reciprocate with links from their sites if you nofollow.
well well well if you dont want your whole page to be indexed just put the "nofollow" tag in the meta tag of that particular page:: <html> <head> <Title></title> <META NAME="Description" Content=""> <META NAME="Keyword" Content=""> <meta name="ROBOTS" content="no index,no follow"> <meta name="GOOGLEBOT" content="NO INDEX,NO FOLLOW"> got it!!
