What is NoFollow HTML Code and How to Insert the Code in Your Blog

nofollow blogIn Previous article I wrote tips about how to find DoFollow blog then I have some question from my friend for how to make their blog NoFollow?

What is Nofollow?
Nofollow is an html attribute first introduced in 2005 by Google. Originally, the rel=”nofollow” attribute was added to discourage comment spam in blogs. Links with nofollow should not influence the link target’s ranking in the search engine.

“Nofollow” provides a way for webmasters to tell search engines “Don’t follow links on this page” or “Don’t follow this specific link.”

Please see the example below:
1. <meta name=”robots”content=”noindex,nofollow”/>
Using this code will NOT allow both indexing and following of links by a robot crawling on the page.

2. <meta name=”robots” content=”index,nofollow” />
Using this code will allow indexing of the page, but instructs the robot to ignore any links within the page.

3. <meta name=”robots” content=”noarchive,nofollow,snippets,index” />
Using this code will not allow archiving of the page and instructs to ignore found links, but lets the robot find and get snippets of the page and allows indexing of the URL.

4. <meta name=”robots” content=”noindex,follow” />
Using this code will allow indexing of the page, but instructs the robot to ignore any links within the page.

How to Insert the Code in Your Blog
Please see the example below:
<html>
<head>
<title>Computer Tips</title>
<META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”INDEX, NOFOLLOW”>
</head>

Using above code in your blog which means that the search engines can index the post but instructs it to ignore and disregard all links found.
