All Internal Inlinks Are Nofollow

What This Means

Every internal link pointing to this page has a rel="nofollow" attribute on the linking <a> element. The page has internal links, but all of them are nofollowed — passing no equity from the linking pages.

Why It Matters for SEO

Internal nofollow links on every inlink to a page effectively isolate it from the site's internal link equity flow. A page that should rank — because it is important content — but receives no internal equity because all its links are nofollowed will be at a disadvantage relative to its potential.

This often occurs when a navigation element that links to important pages uses nofollow (incorrectly), or when a content type has a nofollow applied globally in a template.

What the Platform Checks

The platform builds an inlink map for each crawled page and checks the rel attribute of all inbound internal links. Fires when every inbound link carries nofollow.

How to Fix It

• Identify which linking pages or templates are applying nofollow to these links.
• Remove nofollow from internal links to important content pages — nofollow should be used only on external links you do not want to endorse or on links you genuinely want to exclude from equity flow.
• Review your CMS navigation template and any link components that may be globally applying nofollow.
