    Dear Developer,

    I noticed that the affiliate links are considered local better wordpress external links, and I couldn’t find nofolow under the affiliate links, probably since they are considered local links.

    I believe there is a confusion over here. How the Better WordPress External Links plugin would consider the Affiliate links external if they are pointing to local distance?

    Besides, the nofollow option under affiliate links plugin settings is not adding nofollow to the affiliate links.

    Please help,

    Thank you,

  • Hi Imad,

    You’ll need to speak to the Better WordPress External Links plugin people about this.

    Please ensure you are inserting your affiliate links using the green “aff” button on your editor. This will add the proper nofollow. If you use the standard WP link tool it will not.

    Cheers,
    Josh

    Dear developer,

    Thank you so much for your reply. When I insert the Affiliate links using the affiliate button from the inside post, the link successfully holds nofollow, but when I use the affiliate links inside https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/seo-auto-links/ plugin, there is nofollow set for these links. It seems to me that nofollow feature can be set only if I use the green button from inside the post.

    I have noticed that you sell addons, and among them is the autolinker addon https://thirstyaffiliates.com/product/thirstyaffiliates-autolinker-addon will this plugin automatically set my affiliate links with nofollow?

    The plugin I use right now “SEO Autolinks” https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/seo-auto-links/ works perfectly as it should be and it got a feature to set external links at nofollow, but the affiliate links are considered local.

    I don’t want to set my affiliate links manually using the green button, hence, I want to use your autolinker, but I want to make sure that autolinker addon can allow me to set some or all affiliate links at nofollow.

    Besides, can I use the autolinker addon for local links as well instead of SEO AuoLinks plugin? of course the local links should be without nofollow.

    I am willing to buy the autolinker and the amazon related addons, but I want to clear my questions first.

    I look forward for your reply at your earliest convenience.

    Thank you so much for your time,

    Hi Imad,

    Re your questions:

    1. Yes, Autolinker will set all the proper attributes for nofollow, new window, etc.

    2. Yes, SEO Autolinks will consider these links local as they are local URLs with a redirect. You will have to follow up with them about this.

    Feel free to shoot any additional add-on questions through to our contact form on our website and we can help you out there 🙂 We can’t really talk about our premium products on these forums due to forum rules.

    Cheers,
    Josh
