What is no-follow link

These are normal links acts like a real link for audience, but the difference is that they have a rel=”nofollow” tag in the hyper text code. This nofollow tag is a way to tell Google or search engines that which links they should index and which they should not. This helps you to restrict giving link juice to the link you don’t want to.

Most of the time we have seen that specially comments are the section where no follow tags are used. When you are writing a great post where you have to give lot of external links then you can make some or every link a nofollow link.

How to make no-follow link

To make a link no-follow can be done in two ways, you can do it manually or the other way is by using a plugin. Both ways are fairly easy but I like to use a plugin which makes it more easier and hassle free without coding.
