NoFollow Domains List doesn’t work unless you add www.

    Hi,

    I’m referring to this setting: https://rankmath.com/kb/general-settings/#no-follow-domains – it doesn’t work on a domain level for some reason. For instance I added amazon.com. But because the actual amazon url starts with http://www.amazon.com, nofollow tag doesn’t apply to it, so every domain in the list needs to be specified weather it’s www. or non-www. version, which is too time consuming since I have over 100 domains to exclude, and there probably has to be another way to do this. I’ve tried * adding but that has no effect.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for getting in touch with us.

    Using the example you gave, amazon.com, I recommend adding the actual site URL in the nofollow domains, in this case you should add https://www.amazon.com. This will cover all amazon.com URLs. Another example, if have rankmath.com in your content. You should add the site actual URL which will be https://rankmath.com

    I have tested this on my end and it works. Please confirm if this works on your end too.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks for your reply. Yes, your suggestion works, but like I said, since I have hundreds of links that I want to nofollow, going over every single link and checking whether is has www or not is too time consuming. But, I’ve just discovered that entering every single domain with www. such as www.rankmath.com still works for https://rankmath.com which is weird but it solved my problem.

    Thanks,
