    Currently, my website tags URL is set to “noindex,follow”, However I would like to make it “noindex,nofollow” for entire tag URL and pagination URLs.

    Please let me know how can i do that?

    Regards,
    Naveen

    Hi Naveen,

    You can nofollow all links on a page from the Yoast SEO meta box, in the Advanced Tab, as in this guide. Does this answer your question?

    We’re looking forward to hearing from you.

    Thank you Marius,

    Yes, that can be done for a specific page, however, I am looking to make nofollow for all the tag URLs.

    How can I do these changes for all tag or categories URLs?

    Hi @naveenkumarseo,

    Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, this is not possible. But why exactly do you want to nofollow these URLs?

    Nofollow tags are meant to be used when you want to add a link to a website that you do not want to be associated with (as per Google’s guidelines). It does not make sense to use it on your tag and category pages.

    For example, it would make sense to add the rel nofollow tag if you had a page where you would link to other websites who have paid to be listed. It does not make sense to use the nofollow tag on pages with internal links only.

    We hope to have cleared things up for you.
