Thread: Hide external links search engines

Hello,

I have some WP blogs with a lot of external links in every post.
The first few months after the start they rank fine in Google, but after that sunrise boost most of my pages are de-indexed.
SE traffic from Google drops 90%.

I'm starting to change little things on my new blogs to find out if i can avoid this or keep traffic loses to a minimum.


I was thinking of rewriting all external links so that they will be redirects instead of plain links and possibly avoid being marked as a linkfarm.

Any thoughts or comments on this idea or on external links and how they influance ranking.

What if you put all of your links inside Javascript? - google cannot index it so it would not see any links but most of your users would still see and be able to use them. That is assuming you already tried nofollow.

Already tried the nofollow attribute, but that's still an external link it just doesn't pass on pagerank. I'm gonna try some javascript testlinks on my local server to see how it works and looks.
