Remove The Blogger Nofollow Attribute Tag

Have you heard of the “nofollow” attribute that webmasters are using to stop links on websites from being followed. This can mean that a link can be clicked on to go to your site, however it will not register as a backlink with the large search engines. There is a lot of debate about this subject and we will not get into that now. You can read “what is a dofollow link” if you need more information.

Here’s how to remove the blogger nofollow attribute tag:

1. Open your Blog dashboard
2. Choose The Template tab
