Internal Nofollow Inlinks Only

What This Means

Pages that only have rel=”nofollow” links to them from other pages. Links marked with nofollow link attributes will generally not be followed by search engines, so this can impact discovery and indexing of a page.

What Triggers This Issue

This issue is triggered when pages only have links marked with rel=”nofollow” pointing to them from other pages within the website. For example

if the following page: https://www.getasky.com/meet-the-team/ Was linked to from only one page: https://www.getasky.com/about/ Using the following link: <a href="https://www.getasky.com/meet-the-team/" rel="nofollow" >Meet The Team</a>

How To Fix

Review the use of rel=”nofollow” on internal links to pages. These might be valid to URLs that ideally wouldn’t be crawled, or they could be by mistake. Remove the nofollow link attribute to important URLs you wish to be crawled, indexed and receive PageRank.
