|---|---|---|
| External dofollow | only trusted editorial | Untrusted dofollow leaks equity and trust. |
| Paid links | rel="sponsored" | Disclosure keeps affiliates penalty-safe. |
| User content | rel="ugc" | Comments and forum links stay quarantined. |
| Anchor text | every link has text | Empty links give crawlers no signal. |

Nofollow FAQs
When should a link be nofollow?
Use nofollow for untrusted links you don't want to vouch for, sponsored for paid or affiliate links, and ugc for user-generated content like comments. Editorial links you trust can stay dofollow.
Do sponsored links hurt rankings?
No — properly tagged sponsored links are the safe way to run affiliates and sponsorships. Undisclosed paid dofollow links are what risk a manual penalty.
Does this tool change my site?
No. It only scores pasted HTML in your browser. You apply the rel fixes in your own CMS or code afterward.
