    Hi, I know this is not a typical Genesis question, but I still hope that anyone can advise as I couldn't find a clear answer yet.

    I write blog posts about construction projects in which I mention participants, adding a follow link to their websites. So each blog post has about 4 outbound (dofollow) links.

    But this results in the corresponding category page now having over 200 outbound links, and I understand this is too much.

    How should I solve this? Adding a nofollow to all outbound links on category pages (sitewide)?

    I hope one of you can point me in the right direction, I have been looking everywhere but couldn't find an answer yet.

    That would be best answered in a General WordPress forum or an SEO forum/group. But if you can share a category page that presents this, it would be helpful for us to see exactly what you are working with.

    Thank you for your reply. I think I found a (simple) solution.

    My category pages showed the complete posts. But this way the outbound links of each post accumulated on the category pages.
    So I changed the content archives to only show excerpts now. This way their links (which are only in the last paragraph) don't show anymore on category pages.

    Yes, excerpts is better so you can get the click-through from the visitors. You should also have the RSS feed set to excerpts as well.
