Integrating with WordPress
Joost de Valk who is WordPress marketing and communication expert and founder of Yoast has made it known that the new link attributes will be integrated into WordPress during their next release.
Conclusion
Google updates on nofollow and the other new link attributes should be taken seriously. Even if webmasters have not begun to see the effects of these changes, it is important that you should update your website in line with the new information.
Whenever Google crawls your website, they should meet these changes already effected while we all wait to begin to see the effects of the changes on websites. If Google says these changes will help them understand what is on your site better, then you should not waste any time taking up the changes.
As already said, all previous pieces of content on your site will not be affected by the changes but you should take them up with any new content on your site henceforth
Using Google Search Console, I sometimes see only a 'picture' from my posts listed with a separate URL that I have never intentionally created.
For example https://healthywealthyhappyandwise.com/happiness-can-be-found-in-the-smallest-things/
This link listed in google takes me to my website and shows only the picture and not the whole article.
This is not good for customer experience as they will click away believing that I'm only showing a picture. The URL does not even indicate which of my articles the picture is included in.
When I create my articles, I add pictures using either the WA site content editor or the WP 'New Post' editor. The only information I add is an 'alt tag.'
What am I doing wrong when adding pictures to my articles that make them show in google searches with a separate URL?
And if I cannot prevent this from happening, how can I ensure that the query leads to the complete article instead of just to the one picture?
Any information is appreciated.
Kind regards,
Andrew

I am getting the images ranked with the url and they do not look nice if someone clicks on them.
If I understand your training correctly, I have to mark the images as nofollow? Do you know if there is a way to change the permalink of these images or I have to delete and upload them again so they do not rank like this. Thank you. Marisa
Should I now do the following - is this correct?
Add rel="nofollow" to link
ADD THIS TO AFFILIATE LINKS IE AMAZON OR CLICKBANK?
Add rel="sponsored" to link
ADD THIS TO GUEST POSTS?
Add rel="UGC" to link
ADD THIS TO... I DON´T GET THIS ONE!
Thanks for your clarification.

As for all your training, this one is very informative. But it also is very confusing (for such a newbie as I am).
For example, you said, "UGC Attribute denotes User Generated Content and it's the attribute for UGC such as forum posts, guest posts, and blog comments". How and where should I place this attribute? It would be really helpful if you provide some examples.
Thank you,
