    Hi,

    Yes all the links generated by the plugin are no follow.

    There are some templates that use javascript sourced from the Amazon website, I have no control over these links but I think these are also no follow.

    Hi Paul, thanks for getting back to me. I have read every relevant post on this board regarding nofollow and I read one where you said that the nofollow attribute should be next to the link in the html of the page / post where the link has been added. But when I look at a standard amazon text link that I have added in html view it does not show any no follow tag at all, just the shortcode. Is that right. Or are the no follow tags added at the end of the page load?

    Also, is there any way to add a link to images (on my own server) already in a post (Not being pulled from amazon). Been trying to make this work but the image keeps removing itself in exchange for the shortcode..

    Thanks

    Sorry Paul, don’t want to waste your time. Just found the answer to the first question by viewing page source in a browser. Nofollow tag is present. If you could just let me know about adding a link to a non api pulled image that would be much appreciated. Is there a shortcode for that. Cheers.

    Not entirely sure what you want but one way I think is something like this:

    Say your image URL is https://mysite.com/images/myimage.jpg

    Using the standard image template:

    [amazon asin=0123456789&template=image&image=https://mysite.com/images/myimage.jpg]

    Hope that helps,

    Thanks for that Paul. I could never get it to work though, so just stuck with text links instead.

    I’ve just started a new site so have been exploring the standard templates more with your plugin, and after checking the page source when I insert both Wishlist and Multinational templates there is one link pointing to Amazon that isn’t nofollow. It’s right at the bottom of each block of template code and is an image source (img src=”https://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?..). It’s literally 1 pixel in size. Is this a potential issue that will affect a site with say 100 posts all containing this linkback to Amazon? Thanks.
