# Nofollow Links

_Note: As of March 23, 2021 I’ve closed the Nofollow Links plugin. It had some use, but since the links panel wasn’t enabled by default in WordPress anymore, I decided to put it to rest._

This is a plugin designed to allow you to append nofollow to the rel attribute of selected links in your blogroll.

It does not conflict with the link relationships (XFN) specified when you edit a link. It will just be appended to the end of the rel attribute when it’s displayed.

[Download Nofollow Links WordPress Plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nofollow-links/nofollow-links.zip)
