    • Nofollow Links

    This is a plugin designed to allow you to append nofollow to the rel attribute of selected links in your blogroll.

    It does not conflict with the link relationships (XFN) specified when you edit a link. It will just be appended to the end of the rel attribute when it’s displayed.

      Thanks, it’s so useful however What’s happen if I do a task from paid review program ? They wants a dofollow link but Google wants nofollow for the Link…any suggestion for me :-)

      This plugin allows you to check which links in your blogroll you want to nofollow on a case by case basis. It does not nofollow all of them by default.

      The official claim is that links with the rel=nofollow attribute do not influence the search engine rankings of the target page. In addition to Google, Yahoo and MSN also support the rel=nofollow attribute.

      i think nofollow helps indexing

      Install was flawless on 2.3.3. I wanted an easy way to touch all my links and set them to nofollow. However, some other plugins either default them all on or all off. Yours has nice granular control so that if one of our link partners wants to reciprocate with dofollow links we can make that happen. At the same time we can allow small user submitted sites on our link page without worrying about any ill effects (whether real or imagined). Since we have about 100 links I didn’t want to have to do each one by hand!

      Thanks for this plugin.

      What about a plugin that creates no follow for a menu widget? Your plugin is great, but stops PR from leaking to people outside of our site and not necessarily within our own site. Unless I’m missing something? Just an idea.

      I’m not sure I follow your suggestion. The plugin isn’t designed to sculpt your sites internal PR flow, it just allows you to determine which links in your blogroll you want to pass PR to and which you want to nofollow.
