Nofollow Attribute

1: A meta tag that tells search engines not to follow one specific outbound link when a website doesn’t want to pass authority to another webpage or because it’s a paid link.

The nofollow attribute looks like this:

<a href=”http://www.example.com/” rel=”nofollow”>Anchor text goes here</a>
