    Hi

    Thanks for a great plugin. It really is the best on offer in the WP repository.

    I am developing a new site that will have multiple ticker feeds from your plugin.

    Any chance that google would penalize/blacklist my site in their rankings because of my multiple links to their financial api?

    Kind Regards

    Max

    Dear Max,

    Thank you for contacting us.
    Unfortunately, I don’t have such info to provide, but as plugin fetch data in background (through server), API requests should not impact SEO.

    Not sure about front-end because bybdefault each quote is linked to financial Google page for that symbol, but you can disable linking and only show data w/o back links to Google Finance.

    Kind regards,
    Aleksandar

    Hey Alek

    Thanks for your prompt reply.

    I have set your tickers up in two locations.

    1. On a dedicated page. I am using the SEO framework plugin so I can set no follow attributes there to stop Google following links back to their own site… 🙂 (I assume this will still work given that the links are generated by your shortcode?)

    2. In a footer widget of my theme. Unfortunately there, there is not any option to select No Follow.

    Is it possible to put a NO FOLLOW attribute into your Shortcode to stop Googlebot following back to their on site. If yes, how is this done.

    If not, is this something you could perhaps add to your plugin in the future.

    Thanks again for a great plugin.

    Kind Regards

    Max

    Hey Alex

    Thanks very much for incorporating my suggestion into you plugin.

    I have installed your update.

    However, I am unclear. I cannot see any option to select no follow in your UI or in your shortcode settings.

    Is the no follow rel now hard coded on all links in the back end of your plugin. (and so I do not need to do anything else/extra?)

    Thanks again for your valuable assistance.

    Kind Regards

    Max

    Hi Max,

    You are right, nofollow is hardcoded for google finance links. There is no need to enable anything in plugin settings nor shortcode.

    Zero effort for SEO benefit 😉

    Cheers,
    Aleksandar

    Thanks Aleksandar

    Any chance you could point me to what lines in your code that add the no follow (for my own learning/knowledge)?

    Thanks again for a great plugin and for your lightning fast fix to my issue.

    Kind Regards
