    I use Rankmath with all external links as nofollow. And want to ask

    * Does websites need to use do-follow links
    * Does rank math add nofollow for internal linking
    ( At present I included my domain in nofollow excluded domain or it’s not needed)

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    Yes. Do follow links crate back links for linked pages. However, it is recommended to add nofollow to external links when they are payed links, may lead to spam sites, user generated content and several others.

    Rank math adds the nofollow attribute to external links if the option is enabled in Rank math > General Settings. You can exclude external linked domains that you don’t wish the nofollow to be added. The setting to add nofollow does not affect internal links and so you don’t need to exclude your domain.

    Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know. Thank you.
