To be honest I don’t know if this is the right tread, my apologies if I’m wrong, I have very little experience in this. I have network of do-follow blogs that are from time to time linking to each other. Is it possible to set my robots.txt to have all my links to myotherblog.com no-follow without worrying about the actual (deep)link? If so; what do I need to enter in my robots.txt. Thanks
I don't understand your question. To make links no-follow, you have to set a "rel=nofollow" in the links attribute while coding, ie: <a href="http://www.digitalpoint.com" rel="nofollow">Digital Point Solutions</a> Code (markup): For robots.txt, you can exclude pages from being accessed, spidered, and indexed via bots using the robots.txt file, but you can't set nofollow to links...it'll just not include more-over the page(s) etc that you don't want indexed or found etc. Refer to: About Robots.txt
Ahh okay, I was hoping that this was possible. And do you know if there is another possible way to have all the links to a specific site turned into no-follow? Maybe with the .htaccess?? Thank you both, appreciate it
There is no way to add nofollow on every link by .htaccess. You can only do it manually by adding rel="nofollow" tag to each link ..
I thought robot.txt is usefull and very importat only when you wnat any page not to be followed/crawled by crawlar
