The article indicates they were asking for attribution in the form of an anchor tag.
rel="noindex" has value, as would "UGC"
Likewise the page would could have noindex as top level meta field.
But I think you got what I was getting at anyway.
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoI don't think noindex on a backlink will really do anything. But yeah sponsored, UGC, and nofollow all do the same to Google Noindexing the page with the backlink doesn't mean it won't be crawled, it just means it probably won't be indexed so I don't think that will do anything either
- nkozyra 5y ago> it just means it probably won't be indexed so I don't think that will do anything either Of course it would do something, it just wouldn't be the best way to do it. The goal is not to prevent Google from getting to that site, it's to prevent the backlink value of the anchor tag from a good PageRank site. Either way it all seems like you're trying to find a weird quibble here. I was simply presenting two ways to devalue linking as a thought exercise. They would both work.
