The nofollow link tag on pages(how to remove them, change them to dofollow)

    We’ve done an SEMrush site audit and the report indicates that we have approximately 14,000 outgoing internal links that contain the nofollow attribute. All these links are to single product URLs. Here is our homepage for an example: http://www.echoneon.com

    Does Rankmath have a feature to fix this issue?

    Thank you very much.

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the nofollow links on your site. Unfortunately, the context provided does not specify a feature in Rank Math that allows for bulk removal or conversion of nofollow links to dofollow links.

    However, you can manage nofollow attributes for specific external links through the Rank Math settings. If you want to ensure that certain links are set to dofollow, you would need to manually adjust the settings for those specific links in your content or use the Rank Math options to control how nofollow attributes are applied.

    For detailed guidance on managing nofollow links, you can refer to our articles on Nofollow vs. Dofollow Links and How to Nofollow Specific External Links.

    If you have further questions or need assistance with specific links, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

    Thank you for raising this concern!

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.

    Please share a screenshot of the report with us as well as an example page where the nofollow internal link is on. You can share images with us by uploading them to an image hosting site like Imgur, and then sharing the generated URL with us here.

    We are looking forward to hearing back from you.

    Thank you for the fast response! Please check this: https://imgur.com/a/qqQ8yfQ

    Hello,

    1. We have examined the first URL in your list. We found that there were no nofollow tags wherever https://www.echoneon.com/product/barbie-movie-pink-neon-sign/ was linked on your homepage. Most of the nofollow tags we found on your website were associated with your add-to-cart button, which is part of your theme/WooCommerce.

    External crawling services like Semrush often produce incorrect results, so it’s important to verify the test result by checking your website yourself. You can do this by examining your page’s source code.

    It’s also important to note that Rank Math does not have the ability to add nofollow to your internal links. Our only feature related to nofollow tags is for adding them to your external links, and you have to specifically enable this feature for it to work on your external links. Any nofollow tags found on your internal links are likely coming from your theme or another plugin.

    We hope this explanation resolves the issue. Please feel free to reach out with any other questions or concerns.

    Hello,

    Since we did not hear back from you for 15 days, we are assuming that you found the solution. We are closing this support ticket.

    If you still need assistance or any other help, please feel free to open a new support ticket, and we will be more than happy to assist.

    Thank you.
