I've actually searched on how to do this but I get results for adding nofollow tag on text. I tried to use that same way for an image but it doesn't seem to work for me. Can anyone fill in the gap for me and show me an example?

    The image tag, <img> doesn't use the rel attribute, this only applies for <a> and <link> tags.

    "Just add the rel=""nofollow"" to any 'a herf' tag, No matter if it's image or link.
    Each 'a herf' tag that has NF rel won't pass any PR flow to the links."

      Makes no sense.OP asked about adding nofollow to text.

      Just proves that 99.999% of you are clueless as to what nofollow is, how the webpages are done, and how the internet works.

      It's not for text or images. So of course it's going to be found on google, or examples, or any other such nonsense.

    I agree with Tim3, you place inside the anchor link your image like this:

    <a href="http://youhtml.com" rel="nofollow" alt="yourtags" title="youttitle"><img src="http://img.com"></a>

    Are you trying to get an image not to be followed or a link that takes you to a page when an image is clicked nofollowed? You cannot nofollow an image. You can, however, nofollow an image link and the people, above, have provided answers for how to do that.

      Yes, basically I was embedding a link into a picture. So when someone clicks on the image they are redirected to another website. The image was a site wide image and didn't want it to seem spammy to Google and get the landing page penalized.

        So it is a regular link with an image in it you are trying to NoFollow, so use your link nofollow code.

    Hi trade4861, to get what you want look at you settings of your website or your blog. Often the website or blog e.g. is set already to "nofollow". If this is not in your case then the only working solution is: <a href="http://www.example.com" rel="nofollow" alt="TAGEXAMPLE" title="Title"><img src="http://image.jpg"></a> Check it and try. If you have any else questions Let me know.

    You have to add it to the <a href> code. There is no such tag as nofollow for images. Nofollow has to do with links.

    The HTML nofollow link doesn't change whether it's anchor-text or an image.



    Nofollow a text link:

    Code:
    <a href="http://domain.com" rel="nofollow">This is some anchor text.</a>


    Nofollow an image link:

    Code:
    <a href="http://domain.com" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://domain.com/images/my-image-1.jpg" alt="This is an image"></a>
