    Gary lllyes from Google said that Google supports nofollow attribute on HTML link tags after several days of analysis.

    It helps Google when you mention rel= “alternate nofollow, “which prohibits google from using the href attribute link. If you do not specify the “nofollow” attribute URL, it will be used as a weightless link by Google.

    Garry mentioned, many tools that can extract URLs for analysis, e.g. Googlebot can perform some essential extraction, rendering can do advanced extraction, HTML parser is capable of extracting. That’s why it took him some time to answer this question, Garry said.
