    I nofollow all my affiliate links. It gives more weight to the "other" links on my site.

    First I thought I could just go to edit my sidebar.php and select those featured site's links and add the rel="nofollow". I just added recently the no nofollow for my comment section following Doug Car suggestion as posted in my recent comments.

    My question is, where to add this rel="nofollow" when editing the link at Manage > Link using WP 2.5.1. I tried to add rel="nofollow" but the space dropped and the link showed up like this:
    http://www.inputsitehere.comrel=nofollow
    that I could see from mouseover it. For 1&1.com it works but other site it didn't work. Any advice?

    When you add or edit links there, you will see:

    Link Relationship (XFN)
    rel:

    Just put nofollow in the rel: box, that should work.

    Hey, thanks for fast response. Tried that earlier but it didn't allow me to type anything there. Any suggestion?

    Yes, do it boy. Remember it's only your referral and it's outbound link.

    Sweetfunny,
    I found the solution at wordpress forum support/topic/151690 for WP 2.5.1. I tried cut and paste the code suggested there and it worked. I have also posted a reply there. I don't know how to put a link here, but for newbies like me, just search the topic 151690 on wordpress forum and you should be able to find it.
