You can prevent crawlers from following links by using the "nofollow" attribute in the HTML link tag. The "nofollow" attribute is used to indicate to search engines that the hyperlink should not influence the ranking of the linked page. For example, a link with the "nofollow" attribute would be written as follows:

1
<a href="http://www.example.com" rel="nofollow">Example Link</a>


By using the "nofollow" attribute, you can control which links are followed and indexed by search engines, and which are not.
