rel="nofollow"The attribute is to solve this problem. It is an HTML attribute used to inform search engines not to track the link and not to pass any "link juice" to the target website.This allows the website to provide external reference links while maintaining control over its own SEO resources and avoiding potential risks that may arise from linking to untrusted or irrelevant content.
