Why to add a "nofollow" tag

If you write a sponsored post and use an affiliate link, Google considers that as a paid link. Every time link to that company’s website, you run the risk of being dropped from the Google search engine results pages. That's why you add a "nofollow" tag to that link.

Why to add a "target blank" tag

You add a target blank tag, when a link on your website leads your visitor to another website. If you don't add a target black, you will probably loose your customer.

When I am adding the No Follow to pretty links, should I also check the Forward Parameters?

To be honest Gordon, I don't know what that does, so I keep it open

Thank you :-)

Thanks for sharing Loes.

Does that include links to WA Loes?

All my WA links are pretty links Gordon with a nofollow
All affiliate links are recognisable for the search engines from the ?aid=

Thanks Loes :-)
