      Hey guys,

      Is it possible in anyway to nofollow links via search console (not disavow) but just nofollow external links pointing to your site?

      Cheers.

        Hi Brian Nash,

        Don´t think this funcionality exist.  Can you explain why you would like to nofollow instead of disavow?

          Hi Brian,

          The external website could put a "nofollow" on their link to your website, but you can't do anything like this from your side. So if you want the links on the external website not to be followed by Google the only thing you can do is:

          1. ask the webmaster of the external website to remove the link to your site
          2. use the disavow tool

          Cheers,

          Cesare

            Disavow backlinks

            First, you’ll need to download a list of links to your site. Next, you’ll create a file containing only the links you want to disavow, and upload this to Google.

            Download links to your site

            1. Choose the site you want on the Search Console home page.
            2. On the Dashboard, click Search Traffic, and then click Links to Your Site.
            3. Under Who links the most, click More.
            4. Click Download more sample links. If you click Download latest links, you'll see dates as well.

            Note: When looking at the links to your site in Search Console, you may want to verify both the www and the non-www version of your domain in your Search Console account. To Google, these are entirely different sites.

            Upload a list of links to disavow

            1. Go to the disavow links tool page.
            2. Select your website.
            3. Click Disavow links.
            4. Click Choose file.
