Internal Nofollow Outlinks
What This Means
Pages that use rel=”nofollow” on internal outlinks. Links with nofollow link attributes will typically not be followed by search engines. This could inhibit the crawling and indexing of pages that have rel=”nofollow” links to them. Remember that the linked pages may be found through other means, such as other followed links or XML Sitemaps etc.
What Triggers This Issue
This issue is triggered when pages use the rel=”nofollow” attribute on internal outlinks. For example
if the following page: https://www.getasky.com/ Had an internal outlink such as: <a href="https://www.getasky.com/login/" rel="nofollow" >Login</a>How To Fix
Review the use of rel=”nofollow” on internal links. 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.
