What is Nofollow Link?

Definition

A nofollow link uses rel="nofollow" to tell search engines not to associate the two pages through that link.

Also known as:rel nofollowsponsored link

Label links honestly

Paid links should use rel="sponsored", and user-submitted links can use rel="ugc". These links can still bring real visitors, so they are not worthless simply because of the attribute.
