View Full Version : NoFollow Attribute In Links For Image Maps?

Does the nofollow attribute work with image-map links? This question is becoming a little hard for me to answer. As I mentioned in a previous post I'm trying to clean up the PR on many of our client sites and found within one site a global image with an imagemap associated with it.

Of course in a regular link it is simple to add rel="nofollow" but does this work and apply for image maps as well?

I found that validation to XML/RDFa strict doesn't like image maps and I'm sure there's a fix for each of the validation issues associated with this but that's not the problem right now.

The problem is the no-follow attribute and whether it will stop pagerank from flowing.

All ideas and help are appreciated always.

Nofollow will work with any link.

OK so this will definitely work then...


<area shape="rect" coords="44,82,171,128" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.site.com" target="_blank">

I'm hoping...
