RM does not recognize if outbound link is NOT nofollow

    Hi, I have the following outbound-link

    GTM

    On the page under RM > General RM complains that this link is a nofollow one – which is obviously not. Why is that and what can I do about it?

    Thanks

    Oliver

    Hi Reinelle,
    sorry for that.
    Here is the html-link

    <p class=”gb-headline gb-headline-5958be9e gb-headline-text”>Richten Sie Ihr GTM-Konto hier ein.</p>

    and as you can see there is no nofollow ref included. Nevertheless RM complains it IS nofollow.
    Can you help?

    Sorry, it seemed that I could not sent the whole link. I try again:

    Sorry for all that. Finally here is a screenshot of the link (see the blue marker)

    Hello,

    Thank you for sharing the screenshot.

    If you have enabled the nofollow external link feature in Rank Math > General Settings > Links, then the Rank Math content analysis will prompt that as not yet set to nofollow since the nofollow external links feature adds the tag when the page loads on a browser, and not while editing the page.

    Since the search engines test the live version of your site, then the content analysis function for that specific test can be safely ignored in this case. The external link is already set as nofollow as you have shared in your screenshot.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.

    Hello,
    you were right. The “nofollow external link”-feature was enabled. I disabled it and now is no complaint from RM anymore. Thanks a lot for your time and help.
    Cheers Oliver
