    Hi,

    If I check this settings, does it mean that all my links including the text widgets in the sidebar and footer will have nofollow applied to it?

    Regards

    Hi Derk,

    I am not sure which plugin you use, but there are many ways to check if a link is no follow or not.

    You can right click on the link and click inspect element. If you see rel="nofollow" in the ahref tag of the link, then its nofollowed.

    I checked the link at your footer and it is not nofollow. Here is a photo.

    nofollow do follow link

    Hi Pavle,

    Under Genesis > SEO Settings, there is an option to apply nofollow to the homepage. I realized that my AdSense in the homepage are now showing a blank but individual posts are fine. Since it doesn't work as what I wanted, I have reverted back.

    Good.

    If you are going to nofollow your home page, you need to be either a genius... or an idiot.

    99% of the time, nofollowing a site's home page is a VERY BAD IDEA!!!
