Hello Readers, in this article i will tell you how to make
all the external links on your blogger blog nofollow using Jquery. If you are
blogging for a while now you must be aware of the importance of nofollow
external links. This is very useful trick for every Blogger. Applying
"external no-follow" tag to all the external links on your blog will
help you improve your SEO and prevent page sculpting. Too many External links
on your blog may degrade the SEO as well as Google page ranks. Sometimes people
just spam on your Blog with their links in the comment section or you add some
social icons/widgets to your blogs that has external links, in that case this
little trick will help you.
Why to no-follow external links?
By adding no-follow attribute to all the external links on
your blog will tell the search engines to skip those hyperlinks and the search
engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo will not crawl them. It will help your blog
getting better crawl rate and will prevent your Google page ranks from
sculpting.
How it helps in SEO?
Well, when you mention an external link on your blog it
allows the link juice to flow from your blog to the external WebPages. Too many
external links will degrade your site SEO and marking them as no-follow will
prevent the link juice to flow to the external WebPages. Sometimes you just
forget to mark an external link no follow and you accidently allow the search
engines to crawl that web page. Search engines will leave your site and start
crawling those external links; it will surely affect your site SEO.
