Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about external link checking.
An external link (also called an outbound link) is a hyperlink that points to a different domain than the page it appears on. For example, a link from yoursite.com to wikipedia.org is an external link.
A dofollow link passes link equity (SEO value) to the destination page. A nofollow link has a rel="nofollow" attribute that tells search engines not to follow or pass equity through it. By default, all links are dofollow unless marked otherwise.
Auditing external links helps ensure you are not linking to low-quality or harmful sites, that important links pass equity (dofollow), and that sponsored or affiliate links are properly marked with rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow" as required by search engine guidelines.
The rel="sponsored" attribute marks paid or affiliate links, while rel="ugc" marks user-generated content links (such as forum posts or comments). Both are treated similarly to nofollow by search engines but provide more specific context about the link relationship.
