      Hi

      I have question weather to block in Robots.txt or through No followed tags.

      Links that are part of a Dynamic Tab control that generates the tabs based on CMS content. These are internal links on the page which show content within a tab control.

      Would it stop these errors appearing in the Google report if we added a rel="nofollow" tag to the <a>tag, for example:</a>

      <a></a>

      <a></a>VIEW FROM SEATS?

      Is it better to use No followed tags or block it in Robots.txt?

      Thanks

      Cee

        A nofollow is a good idea moving forward. That will stop it from happening again.

        If you do the robots.txt, they can still index, just with no information on the page.

        If I were you, I'd add the nofollow.

        • I currently have a client that has multiple domains for multiple brands that share the same IP Address. Will link juice be passed along to the different sites when they link to one another or will it simply be considered internal linking?
