A Joomla 2.5 Plugin to insert the rel="nofollow" attribute within outgoing links
  • Joomla 2.5
  • plg_metaNoFollow
  • joomla 2.5
We have successfully upgraded the Meta noFollow Plugin to work with Joomla 2.5. The "nofollow" is an HTML attribute value used to instruct some search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link target's ranking in the search engine's index.
It tells the search engines not to count this link in their search ranking calculations.
This could be of use for your own search engine ranking if you had pages with many outward bound links.

You can download it here - Download - The price is ?8.00.

How it works -


If the page is from a category enabled via the parameters the plugin is parsed unless the page id is specifically excluded. If you need all categories to have no-follow insert a    all   in the text area.

It also excludes any authors whose IDs are entered in the parameters.

It parses the page content for links.

It then inserts the rel="nofollow" attribute on any link that is not from the site, i.e. only external links.


N.B.  
As with ALL Joomla plugins this ONLY operates on content.
If you need the ability to make Menu items nofollow contact us for this solution.

Installation -


  • Install in the normal way via Extensions-->Install/Uninstall.
  • Enable the plugin via Extensions-->Plugin Manager.
  • Insert the category id of the articles you want to include the rel="nofollow" in. Insert  all  if all categories are included.
  • You can exclude particular articles by inserting their id in the 3rd text box.
  • You can exclude particular authors by inserting their id in the 4th text box.
  • Multiple id's should be comma separated, no spaces e.g. 3,4,5
  • You can choose whether the external links open in a new window i.e. include the target="_blank" parameter.
