Partner Site In Bound Links

[Aqabatech]

We have a staffing agency client that uses a 3rd party site (with different URL) to display open jobs for web viewers to see.  However we are getting a bunch of backlinks from this site from the footer because it is set up as a White Label... Should I add a rel=nofollow to the links in the footer? Disavow the links from the site? Do nothing?  I am not really sure.

Thanks!

Hi, it is just one site then I don't think it is going to have an impact on your site, especially with the links being in the footer, unless you are talking about lots of them.

If you did want to do anything then yes, just add a nofollow to the footer link. If the footer link is contained in a common block of code that is included on all the site's pages then it's a simple change to do. But there is no need to do a disavow.

I hope that helps,
Peter

Thanks for the response Peter,

The issue for us is more in the quantity of traffic... Out of 10,500 links, 10,100 of the links are from the portal site.  I am afraid the quantity will come off as spammy.

I think I will just do a nofollow.

Thanks again Peter!

Yes, with that many links I think that is the best thing to do. Peter
