How do I easily no-follow my affiliate links?

[whiteonlySEO]

Hi, I am in the process of setting up an affiliate marketing campaign for my site. I have done a bit of research and understand that it is safest in terms of SEO to add no-follow to the links from the affiliate sites. What is the easiest and simplest way to implement this?

This can be done by adding rel="nofollow" to the link's HTML code. See example below-

Before: Some Link

**After: **rel="nofollow">Some Link

Depending on what kind of website you have they may give you a checkbox or ask if you "want Google to follow this link". However adding the rel="nofollow" in the HTML code is probably the most universally applicable way to nofollow a link.

You can also specify no follow in the meta data, but you have to be careful with it.

You can make the whole page nofollow by dropping this in your header:

<code><metaname="robots"content="nofollow"></metaname="robots"content="nofollow"></code>
