Best Nofollow Practice Facing +500 instances of affiliate links

[Dan-Louis]

Hi.

I have a set of affiliate links on my website. That's 50 unique links in total. They are placed in a separate folder /go/, and are all nofollowed.

My website has 100 pages. When doing a site audit I get a report with 50 affiliate links pr. page x100. That's a huge report.

Is this really necessary? I can ofc. choose to ignore the automated reports, but I can't help but to think that there must be an easier way to keep track of it?

Like, if Link 1-50 is located in /go/, they should automatically be nofollowed, regardless of where they are located on the root/sub domain.

Bonus question: The format of the link is https://exampledomain.com/go/brandname

I am wondering if I should add that "/" at the end of it. If yes, why? If no, why?

Hi Dan

You could just add a no follow to teh /go folder in robots.txt. Then they will just be ignored.

Thank you, Nigel Carr!

My first reaction looking at your answer was "No, wait.. you got it wrong", then I realized the beauty of it's simplicity. You're right. Simple does it

Have a good weekend!
