  Is it possible to add a no follow plug in to WordPress.com? If so, how do I go about that? Thank you

  Hi @fifiharris01,

  WordPress.com doesn’t allow plugins for security reasons. Plugins are for self-hosted blogs using the software from WordPress.org.

  Are you referring to a no follow plugin for links or for followers? We can find a workaround depending of what you meant with that :)

  Hello Stefaniamattana: I’m trying to add an affiliate link to my blog from Amazon. I have WordPress.com. I’m learned last night that I should have a no follow plug in. I’m basically clueless about plugins so any information will be huge to me.
  Thank you, Fifi

  Hello Fifi,

  As I said, you can’t install any plugin here on WordPress.com, however there’s another way to create no follow link.

  On your post editor, click on the Text tab. It’ll show you all your content in a HTML version. Form here you can modify your affiliate links and turn them into a no follow links.

  Once you find the link, you have to modify it this way:
  <a href="your amazon link" rel="nofollow">your text here</a>

  Let me know if you manage to change that, otherwise I can help you out with that :)
