How to qualify outgoing links on your site for Google

For some links on your site you can specify Google, what is your connection with this page. To do this, use one of the following values of the Rel attribute in the tag <a>.

For ordinary links that you want Google to process without any clarification, you do not need to add a REL attribute. For example:

My favorite horse is Palomino.

For other links, use one or more of the following values:

Rel = "Sponsted" for your site in Google

Mark the links that are advertising or paid placements (the so -called paid links), using the SponSored value. Learn more about Google's position about paid links.

Note: The Nofollow attribute for such links was recommended to wound, and it is still a permissible way to designate them, although Sponsored is preferable.

Value REL = "UGC" for your site in Google

We recommend marking links generated by users (UGC), such as comments and messages on the forums, UGC value.

If you want to celebrate and encourage reliable participants, you can remove this attribute from links posted by participants who stably leave high -quality comments or content. Find out how to prevent spam generated by users on your site and platform.

Value REL = "Nofollow" for your site in Google

Use the Nofollow value when other values are not suitable, and you do not want Google to associate your site C or indexes the page to which the link leads. For internal links on your site, use the Disallow rule in the Robots.txt file.

Using several REL values for your Google site

You can specify several values of the REL, sharing them with a gap or a comma. Examples:

I love Appenzeller cheese.

I hate Blue cheese.

Links marked with these attributes of REL will usually not be tracked. However, remember that related pages can be found in other ways, for example, through site cards or links from other sites, and therefore they can still be indexed. These REL attributes are used only in tags <a>, which Google can process, with the exception of nofollow, which is also available as the Robots meta-tag.

If you need to prevent the link to the page of your Google website, use the Disallow rule in the Robots.txt file.

In order not to index the page, allow indexing, but use the noindex meta-right.
