Video of Internal Linking: Nofollow Links - 10-hour ecommerce SEO course in SEO Fundamentals course by Traian Neacsu channel, video No. 14 free certified online
The nofollow microformat is a Robot Exclusion Protocol that applies at the element level, and it prevents PageRank and anchor text signals from being passed on to the linked pages. The HTML element that nofollow applies to is the A element.
Some SEOs use the nofollow attribute believing it will prevent the indexation of the linked-to URL. Often, we find statements similar to “nofollow the admin, account, and checkout URLs to prevent these pages from being indexed”.
Such statements are not accurate because nofollow does not prevent crawling, nor indexing.
