Hello Readers,
This post will tell you why and how to make the entire labels link in your
blogger blog nofollow. You must be familiar with the term nofollow. I have
posted about it in my earlier posts. nofollow and dofollow links plays very
important role in blogging. But in this post we will be talking about applying
nofollow attribute to the labels in your blog. You must have heard about the
Google Panda. Google Panda is a strict algorithm by Google which can make your
blogging life worse if your blog does not qualify the quality norms of this
Algorithm.
If your blog
contains too many labels or duplicate/irrelevant content, you can be the next
target of this algorithm. By ensuring the quality of your blog content you can
avoid the ill effects of this algorithm. It is good to put 5-6 unique and
relevant labels with your blog post, but if you use them in access it would
degrade your blog's quality. The ill effects of Google Panda includes drop in
the traffic which will be very harmful to any blog. So we will make all the
labels in blogger blog nofollow to avoid such effects.
