Nofollow all blogger labels links or Category tags

We will nofollow the labels that appear below your post titles and also the labels appearing in your TAG Cloud.

Lets start correcting things:

1. Go To Blogger > Design > Edit HTML
2. Backup your template
3. Check the "Expand widget templates" box
4. Search for this,

<a expr:href='data:label.url' rel='tag'>

     5.   Replace it with this,

<a expr:href='data:label.url' rel='tag,nofollow'>

You have now successfully protected your links in the post labels from panda effect. Now lets correct the Label Cloud Links also.

UPDATE: This part is optional because this widget is located on the sidebar and not directly in your post body where actual crawling takes place. So even if you skip it there is no issue.

      6.    Search for this,

<a expr:dir='data:blog.languageDirection' expr:href='data:label.url'><data:label.name/></a>

 

      7.  Replace it with this code,

<a expr:dir='data:blog.languageDirection' expr:href='data:label.url' rel='nofollow'><data:label.name/></a>

      8.   Save and you are all set!

How to know if you have done all steps correctly?

Simply highlight a label link or cloud link on your blog and then right click and choose "view selection source". You will find you label links having the rel="nofollow" tag attach to it like this,

[a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWnTXg05VfNXd2p99Q8023MlaBebE9BmDoN42tsZVmvzKvzWxH4ZgoOY9jqpWiLmxjmVa_bZLYh24S6kukXjCR_clZaFFQGcfIpTMlCa4Job8mCLBNltzbptoQ72GpYZXq9jN7zFgiki4/s1600-h/image%25255B5%25255D.png"][/a]

and for label cloud it will look like this,

I hope your blogs may grow even more and may stay protected from tech errors. We added the nofollow tags to all MBT label links also and we will be updating you more on this. Please let me know if you needed any further assistance. Peace out! :)
