No Follow tag on Drupal Modules
dailypress - June 24, 2009 - 18:49
I have the Most Popular module installed and was wondering how I can change this and any module in general so the links are "no follow"
thanks in advance,

I installed the module but my blocks still dont show the no follow links. hmmm...

please link to the module you are using. I can't find a "most popular" module
here is the
here is the link:
http://drupal.org/project/buzzworthy
however, I also wanted to use the nofollow module for my other modules that prints out links such as : Most Recent Link, Most Popular Links and .... so am I getting the hint of having to change EACH individual Module and play around with the Code?
im not very familiar with coding...!

nofollow.module as far as I understand if some user added content, something to limt link spamming. I don't know that it's meant to be used on your own site links. By doing so, your own site links won't be able to be scanning by good search bots.
if you don't want to be listed in google or other search engines, only good bots follow good rules, I'd use robots.txt in your drupal root and DENY access to those paths.
I DO want to be listed in
I DO want to be listed in Google and other search engines. The reason why I would like to add the nofollow to the internal links is SEO.
I do NOT want to dilute the link value on every page when the "most popular link" is not necessarily the most relevant link for that particular page.
In other words: I installed the "most popular links" module (link listed above) which basically links to the top 5 most visited pages. This "block" full of links appears on ALL pages. And in order to stop diluting the internal link value for each page, I would like to add a nofollow tag to these links for all pages.
Also another concern is adding the nofollow tag to one of my Primary Menu Links. Out of the 5 Main Menu links, one of them is irrelevant to my website. For example I have listed:
1- Home
2- Photos
3- Videos
4 - Music
5- Help Feed Children - which basically links to a non-profit organization and since it opens a new window and links to an external site that has nothing to do with my entertainment website I would like to add a nofollow tag to this link as well.
now how would I go about that?

I don't see anything in the contrib area that would do this. (Could have missed it)
if not there, writing a custom.module to intertact with menu links may be the only way forward.
I"d check in IRC #drupal-support and see if anyone in there has answers.
