No-Follow Links

Usually you want search engines to keep track of every single link your sites get... but what if you have a link you don't want search engines to follow? For instance, what if you don't want search engines to trace links to your websites from forums, auction sites, or "bad neighborhoods"? Creating a snubbed Url with UrlSnub allows you to create no-follow links, which search engines can't use. When a search engine spider tries to follow a short Url generated through UrlSnub, the spider is directed to UrlSnub's page, not to your target page. This is a safe, convenient (in fact, automatic) way to protect your links from search engines.

No-Follow Links Are Useful For...

• Preventing search engines from noticing-and revealing to your competition-that your website is for sale on an auction site.
• Posting on forums without revealing your site's identity to search engines.
• Avoiding penalties for linking to "bad neighborhoods."
• Adding a second layer of protection when you cloak your affiliate links.
• Keeping your website's Url and name off popular forums, which prevents you from having to compete in the SERPs with web pages that may rank higher than your site does.

The programming that makes UrlSnub's no-follow links possible is completely invisible to human visitors. When a real person clicks on your short Url, they are delivered to your site-no detours, no delays. UrlSnub's no-follow links are also far safer than using the rel="nofollow" tag, which is rarely obeyed completely by the major search engines. UrlSnub prevents all search engines from following your links, with no exceptions. Not only are UrlSnub's no-follow links more elegant than HTML "nofollow" tags, they're safer.

Creating no-follow links through UrlSnub is not only safe, it's also free. Whether you create a short Url as a member or as a casual visitor, all services are free of charge.
