    Hi Support,

    I get the following error when adding my backlink domains to the Nofollow Exclude Domains list.

    We found 2 outbound links in your content and all of them are nofollow.

    A soon as I clear the list and I put the same list of domains in the the Nofollow Domains list,

    the error goes away.

    As soon as I swop them around again, the error comes back.

    What could the reason be and how do i fix it.

    tnx

    Jaco Celliers

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Nofollow Exclude Domains and Nofollow Domains lists. It seems like there might be a conflict in how the settings are being applied.

    When you add domains to the Nofollow Exclude Domains list, Rank Math is set to not apply the nofollow attribute to those domains. Conversely, if you add the same domains to the Nofollow Domains list, it creates a conflict because Rank Math is trying to apply the nofollow attribute while also excluding them from it.

    To resolve this issue, ensure that you are using these lists correctly:

    • Use the Nofollow Exclude Domains list for domains you want to allow dofollow links.
    • Use the Nofollow Domains list for domains you want to apply the nofollow attribute to.

    If you continue to experience this issue, we recommend checking if there are any variations of the domain URLs that might be causing confusion. For example, ensure that you are consistent with how you enter domains (e.g., including or excluding "www" or using HTTPS vs. HTTP).

    If the problem persists, 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!
