No-follow attribute is a very powerful tag which is used to prevent page
rank juice flow from one blog to another. We write best quality articles
for our readers and link to internal posts for more information in
depth on a particular topic. Internal linking not only help to increase blog traffic but it also help to reduce blog bounce rate.
It help to make our blog posts search engine friendly and improve all
blog posts ranking by passing page rank juice from one post to another.
But sometime we need to link external sites in our blog posts for any
reference topic or another non important links like demo and download
links.Those links sculpt our valuable page rank juice from our post. To
prevent our blog page rank we should add nofollow attribute to external
links. In this tutorial I will tell you how you can make all external
