NoFollow support is a new feature in the release of Confluence 1.4. |
As part of the effort to combat the spamming of wikis and blogs (Confluence being both), Google came up with some markup which instructs search-engines not to follow links. By removing the main benefit of wiki-spamming it's hoped that the practice will stop being cost-effective and eventually die out.
By default, all URLs inserted in a page (or in comments) will be given the nofollow tag. Inter-page links (i.e. Documentation Home) or shortcut links (i.e. CONF-2622@JIRA) will not be tagged.
The site administrator can turn the feature off in General Configuration.
