All of us very well know what’s the value of nofollow on our blogs. It is actually a tool that can help us tell Google that a particular link should not be considered by it. But now you will ask me what’s the need of telling that to Google. Well, I will tell you That. For example you write paid articles, for advertisers from PayperPost or Smorty or others, If Google gets to know this, it will surely have a negative effect on your ranking
. So what can be done: if you want to write paid posts and also want no compromise with your ranking. Then
Then there is only one solution, and that is to add nofollow attribute to the links of advertisers. There are many other examples where you can add nofollow like when you are having reciprocal links. Having reciprocal links with dofollow can surely damage your ranking. So how to add nofollow
.
- First, decide which links you want to add with nofollow.
- In the HTML section( or the code of your blog) find the link, it should look something like this:
<a href=”http://www.blogoninja.com”>Blog-o-Ninja</a> - In this code just add rel=”nofollow” so that the code looks like this:
<a href=”http://blogoninja.com” rel=”nofollow”>Blog-o-Ninja</a>
That’s it; whichever link you think Google should not consider, just edit its link the example above. Its that simple. And then you can rest assured that no link on your blog will harm your blog.![]()

I didn’t think that payperpost allowed you to add the no follow attribute to their links?

Very informative, so does the link become clickable or not?

Of course the link will be well clickable but the only thing is if you add nofollow to it, then it will not be considered by google.
