Google Search Console is showing inbound links while they were supposed to be "nofollow" inbount links.

It's my understanding that in Google Seach Console, under the "Links" section for a specific verified domain property, I will find (all?) the inbound links to said domain that Google has indexed.

​

Which in general it's true: I found in that list the expected number of inbound links, in my company's GSC, and in my clients' GSCs. (We're a web agency)

​

Note now that it's the agency policy to put a NOFOLLOW link to our main website, for branding reasons.

Also, we recently (8-12 weeks ago) released for couple of clients of ours, two different ecommerce websites, with thousands of pages each.

​

We're now seeing that under our own GSC "Links" section that we have several thousands of inbound links from said websites, even though they are NOFOLLOW.

​

The "offending" websites are correctly setup, and in their GSCs there's also a sitemap, with the expected number of links being crawled/indexed by Google almost everyday.

​

So, is my assumption wrong? What else should I be checking?

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
