      Firstly, I understand what this percentage is. It's the ratio of external links that are "follow" -> compared to the links that are "no-follow".

      Four questions:

      1. This is definitely not accurate! I have loads of no-follow links

      2. Does anyone have ideas or techniques to add more healthy no-follow links?

      3. Am I completely misunderstanding this?

      4. Will this high score negatively affect my ranking?

      I could definitely use some help. Thanks so much in advance.

      I don't think my website address should help, but if you need it for context, it's estatediamondjewely.com.
