Nofollow Links

The nofollow is set in the HTTP header when the link is clicked. No need for it to be in the HTML (rel=”nofollow”) You can use any HTTP header analyzer to see it.

I used this tool https://varvy.com/tools/linkcount/ and my link doesn’t show as nofollow. I created a new link, made sure it was checked as nofollow and it still doesn’t show up.

I then check other blogs using the above tool on pages I know they have affiliate links on and this tool shows the link as nofollow.

I used https://web-sniffer.net/to look in the header as well and didn’t see anything about it being nofollow. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Can you create a dummy link to share here so I can test it?

Here is one I just created: https://www.moneysmartguides.com/rump

I confirmed that the nofollow box was checked.

Thanks!

I’m seeing it in the response header.
X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow

That’s good to hear. Can you check an old one I set up as dofollow and have since marked it as nofollow? I just want to make sure the old ones I set up and since changed to nofollow show as well.

Here is an example: https://www.moneysmartguides.com/msg-ready-for-zero (it is no longer valid but I still have it in my dashboard and just changed it to nofollow.

Thanks!

Thanks for your help. See that now. I was putting the post URL in the web sniffer tool, not the pretty link. All good now.
