URL Only Has Nofollow Incoming Internal Links
- December 7, 2025
- Indexation, Internal Linking
Quick Reference
Element Code: IN-007
Issue: All internal links to this page have rel="nofollow"
Impact: No PageRank flows to this page from internal links
Fix: Remove nofollow from internal links if page should receive link equity
Detection: Screaming Frog, Sitebulb
What Is This Issue?
When all internal links to a page are nofollowed, no PageRank transfers from your other pages. This isolates the page from your site's internal authority flow.
Why This Matters for Your Website
Internal links distribute authority throughout your site. Blocking all link equity to a page handicaps its ranking potential.
How to Fix This Issue
- Find linking pages: Identify where internal links originate
- Remove nofollow: Unless there is a specific reason to keep them
- Verify: Check that followed links now exist
Tools for Detection
- Screaming Frog: Shows all inlinks and their attributes
TL;DR (The Simple Version)
All internal links pointing to this page have nofollow. This blocks PageRank flow. Remove nofollow from internal links unless you have a specific reason not to.
