Hello my favorite developers in the planet!!

I am more than likely messing something up so I thought maybe I should ask you.

This has been happening from the beginning but I always thought Google Analytics would report these urts as 404s because they didn’t exist:
http://hispanic-marketing.com/4d-projection-mapping-campaigns/www.nuformer.com

Well, after much research on the Google side I went to the original page: http://hispanic-marketing.com/4d-projection-mapping-campaigns/ and searched for nuformer and then right clicked to copy the link and there it was!!! The link should have been http://www.nuformer.com but it shows as part of my site. Of course, nobody would ever find it as it doesn’t exist.

Where am I going wrong?

Thank you for your help!!!

Warmly,

Havi

Hey havi!

I’m not entirely sure what you are trying to do or what the problem is, could you try to explain a bit further please?

Best regards,
Rikard

Of course, Rikard!

Let’s see. Is there a way to add a no index to links to external pages on the site? What happens is that the urls formed get indexed by Google and then are displayed on Google Webmasters as page not found / 404s.

Example:

http://hispanic-marketing.com/4d-projection-mapping-campaigns/

for every link to an external page a new url is indexed:

http://hispanic-marketing.com/4d-projection-mapping-campaigns/www.nuformer.com (you can see the url if you right click on the words http://www.nuformer.com and do a copy link, and you will see that the link is not http://www.nuformer.com as I would expect it to be but http://hispanic-marketing.com/4d-projection-mapping-campaigns/www.nuformer.com which is a non-existent page and invalid link)

Have I set something incorrectly? How can I stop these urls from being indexed? or from being formed?

(Internal links are no problem because the page does exist and the url is correct)

I begun removing the external links but then I cannot link out to anybody and that’s not good for attribution or SEO purposes.

Please let me know if I explained it better this time.

Thank you so much!!

Warmly,

Havi

Hey!

It’s not really a theme question. I did some searching and came across this which will help, https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/webmasters/Aq7jie2Ktog.

If you have more questions regarding google webmaster tools then I would just post them in there. They will be able to help you out better.

Cheers!

Thank you Elliott!!! :)

So, all I have to do is go to the html and add a rel=”no index” on the external links only, right?

That’s simple enough!! :)

I could even add a nofollow if need be.

You are the best!!

Warmly,

Havi
