    Hello. I want to know if it is possible to block an outbound link from my website. I have a link in footer of my site (i used a free theme) and i don't want to put nofollow on this link because i don't want to change the footer.

    The theme creator says it's forbidden to change anything. So, for this purpose, i want to know how to put "nofollow" on that links without change the footer. I hope it's possible from robots.txt :D

    Did you know how to do this ?

    Not that I'm aware of. The "directions" to the site (for lack of a better term) linked to are going to be coming from the visitors computer anyway, not your server. It's at their end, not yours.

    My english is not very good. I think i not understand exactly what do you mean. I just want to block these 2 OUTBOUND links just for search engines (Google) with nofollow. But I don't want to change the footer (where the links are).

    Is this possible ? How to ?
