No follow on class - is it correct?
-
Quetstion,
Due to some recent SEO issues on our website on an audit, we found that a potential risk could be all the semi-sitewide links derived from a buy now pay later provider's code in our source code.
Our developer implemented Rel= no follow in the following context... <p class="afterpay-paragraph" style="display:block; margin-top:0.3rem;" rel="nofollow"></p class="afterpay-paragraph" style="display:block;>
Is what the developer has done, adding it as a class correct? and will it work correctly for SEO? or should i tell the developer to go back and include the no follow code instead as href="https://www.afterpay.com/terms" rel="nofollow"> and add the same to each external .png link too?

Hi,
Your developer hasn't added it as a class, he has added the attribute to the paragraph tag, however, it still isn't right.
The "rel" attribute can only be used with a or link tags. It does not cascade down, i.e. you can't put it higher up to cover all child tags, which is what I think the developer is trying to do.
As you've suggested, he needs to go back and change it.

The correct way to go from PHP site to HTML site?
I have a website fully coded in PHP and I am doing a re-design over to an HTML site. I searched through the Q&A and there were some conflicting answers. Some said you will need to 301 all the pages. Others said to use the .htaccess to parse all the files as html. What is the correct way I should go about this? Thanks in advance!

How do you optimize for keyword phrases that don't follow natural speech patters?
For instance, We have a phase "solar panels for home" that sends decent traffic to our site, but I'm sure we could be capturing more if any of our content was optimized better for it. But how do you optimize for a phrase that makes you sound like a robot if you use it verbatim?

Should "contact" and "Privacy Policy" pages be no-followed?
I have a few pages like the contact and privacy policy page that I could really care less about as far as whether people visit them, or whether the search engines index them. They also don't have any sort of unique content on them... pretty much duplicates of what you'd probably find on hundreds of other websites. Would it be logical then to just nofollow those pages? I just don't know if maybe there's something hidden that I'm not thinking of. For example, maybe Google wants to see that your website has a privacy policy, and by excluding it, you're actually hurting yourself.
