Nofollow Links

Nofollow links contain the rel="nofollow" HTML attribute that instructs search engines not to pass authority (PageRank) to the linked website, though they may still provide referral traffic and other SEO benefits.

Why Nofollow Links Matters

While nofollow links don't directly boost rankings, they contribute to natural link profiles, drive referral traffic, and can lead to followed links. A healthy mix of followed and nofollow links appears more natural to search engines.
