I am aware that nofollow links are specifically enforced so that search engine bots do not follow that link.
The reality is that this link attracts visitors and my theory is that a link, even if it has a nofollow for Google, for example, still has value, even if it is 1% compared to one without the nofollow.
Apart from this, what are the following values for the rel attribute for because I don't see reliable information about it (the one that catches my attention is external
).
I've only seen info here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_rel.asp
But it doesn't explain if there are differences in SEO issues or browser behaviors.
I have created several links to https://japanpanda.com/ being nofollow (On other pages) and I have not seen any changes except improvements in referals.
