HTML: rel attribute rel="nofollow": Use this attribute if you’re linking to a resource you don’t want to lend your site’s reputation to. For example, if you link to a spammy site as an example of what not to do, you would want to use this value to keep from contributing to the site’s search engine visibility. rel="alternate": If your site has more than one version – such as a translation into a different language – use this value to identify the linked resource as an alternate version of the current page. rel="bookmark": This value is used to identify a URL formulation that is permanent and may be used for bookmarking. rel="help": Identify a linked resource as a help file for the current page with this value. rel="license": Use this attribute when linking to a recognized copyright license. rel="next": If the current document exists in a series of documents, use this value when linking to the next document in the series. rel="prev": If the current document exists in a series of documents, use this value when linking to the previous document in the series. rel="noreferrer": If you want to link to an external website but avoid letting the destination website know who the referrer is, use this value.
