Making External Links NoFollow
Jan 22, 2010
AutoBlogged post templates give you much flexibility in controlling how it creates posts in WordPress. If you want to configure all external links in your posts to use the nofollow tag, you can do this through your post template.
By default, AutoBlogged uses the following post template:
<p>%excerpt%</p> %if:video%<p>%video%</p>%endif:video% %if:thumbnail%<p>%thumbnail%</p>%endif:thumbnail% [Read more here|Read the original here|Read more from the original source| Continued here|Read more|More here|View original post here|More|See more here|See original here|Originally posted here|Here is the original post|See the original post|The rest is here|Read the rest here|See the rest here|Go here to read the rest|Go here to see the original|See the original post here |Read the original post|Original post|Read the original|Link|Excerpt from| View post|Visit link|Follow this link|Continue reading here|See the article here|Read this article|Read more]:[<br />| ] <a target="_blank" href="%link%" title="%title%">%title%</a>
To give all external links the nofollow tag, simply change the last line of the post template to the following:
<a target="_blank" href="%link%" title="%title%" rel="nofollow">%title%</a>
Note that there are a number of WordPress plugins that also allow to control nofollow tags across your entire blog.
