How to add nofollow to wordpress blogroll links
So I recently discovered that my site had dropped for PageRank 5 to a PageRank 3. I looked into it, and I still have lots of links coming to my site. It appears that I was penalized by Google, and it seems to be because I had some paid links on my homepage. So, I decided to add rel="nofollow" to the links. The only problem is that when you try to do this with the Blogroll editor in WordPress, there is no nofollow option. So I had to add one.
If you wish to do the same, it's quite easy. Just find the /wp-admin/edit-link-form.php file, create a backup copy of it, and modify it. Look for lines 113 and 114, which should look like:
And add this code before it:
You'll now be able to edit your blogroll links and add rel="nofollow" to any you wish.
