Can Webflow provide an option in the editor to easily add the "nofollow" tag to external links in blog posts and articles?

Yes, Webflow does provide an option in the editor to easily add the "nofollow" tag to external links in blog posts and articles. Adding the "nofollow" attribute to a link tells search engines not to consider that link when calculating the ranking of the linked page. This can be useful when you want to prevent passing link juice to certain external websites or if you want to avoid potential penalties for participating in link schemes.

To add the "nofollow" tag to an external link in Webflow, follow these steps:

1. Open the Webflow Designer and navigate to the page where you want to add the link.
2. Select the text or element that you want to turn into a link.
3. Click the link icon in the toolbar or right-click on the selected element and choose "Link."
4. In the link settings panel that appears, enter the URL of the external website you want to link to.
5. Toggle the "Open link in new tab" option if desired.
6. To add the "nofollow" tag, click on the gear icon next to the URL input field.
7. In the advanced settings, you'll find an option labeled "No follow." Enable this option.
8. Click "Apply" to save the changes.

By following these steps, the "nofollow" tag will be automatically added to the external link in your blog post or article. This helps ensure that search engines understand your intention to not pass link juice to that specific external website.

It's worth noting that adding the "nofollow" attribute should be done carefully and selectively. Overusing this tag or applying it to all external links on your site may send a negative signal to search engines. It's generally recommended to reserve the "nofollow" attribute for situations where you may be concerned about the credibility or relevance of the linked external websites.
