rel="nofollow"
I am tring to use a rel="nofollow" tag to block some external links from being indexed and its not validating? I writing in xhtml trad. and placing it like this I have tried both <a href="http://www.site.com/page.html" rel="nofollow">Visit My Page</a>
and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.site.com/page.html" >Visit My Page</a> ??? is this an xhtml thing? |

As far as I am aware there is no "nofollow" tag recognized by the W3C standards. This tag was originally proposed (and is recognized) by Google as a way to reduce or at least not reward spam on blogs and wikis. But it is not an "official" tag and therefore will not pass strict validation.

If the "external links" are to sites you own, you could use try using robots.txt files on those sites to prevent indexing, instead of "nofollow."

O ok,
This is what I am tring to do. I dont know if this is right way of going about this or not. I want to block "some" external links. So that my site will show more internal, then external in certain places. Is this how it should be done? I am not wanting to set my whole site up like that just some pages in centain areas. |

O really, Maybe I should re-think my idea. That's why I asked the question here first. I dont want to block Page Ranks, and or whole pages. My thinking was I could block some external links and there for show the "SE" more internal links there by increasing the vaule to the page to the "SE" by showing more internal links. I wasnt sure how that was going to play out. So I thought I would ask. If some of you say this is black hat it really wasnt my intention since all links are really on the page. I dont know if that matters.
