Here is what a basic link looks like:
<a href="http://www.amazon.com" target="_blank">Visit Amazon</a>
This link points to amazon.com and will open in a new browser window when someone clicks the words 'Visit Amazon'.
So, if someone clicks that links, amazon.com will get the link credit.
Now let's add our NoFollow code.
Here is the same link, with our NoFollow code:<a href="http://www.amazon.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Visit Amazon</a>
- All I did was add rel="nofollow" within the link with a space before and after the code.
- Be sure to add the space before and after or else you will get an error.
- The position of the code isn't important, but I prefer to place it right after the URL
Just to make sure you understand what is happening, let's quickly break down this link
- href="http://www.amazon.com" ==> This is the link you are pointing to
- rel="nofollow" ==> This is telling Google not to follow the link and factor the pagerank
target="_blank"
==> This make the link open in a new browser window

I think the target="_blank" disappeared from the text...I'm just seeing an "add this: "
