: Overriding nofollow rules with meta tag I'm using a blog that automatically nofollows links in spite of manually dofollowing links in the HTML code. so I decided to put this code: <meta name="robots"
I'm using a blog that automatically nofollows links in spite of manually dofollowing links in the HTML code. so I decided to put this code:
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow,noodp,noydir"/>
in the head of the blog to enable following for my link.
My question is that will that code override each link's rel="nofollow" rule and let search engine crawl and count those links for SEO?

Search engines crawlers follow the most restrictive rule. If you use nofollow in your meta tag, no link will be followed. If you use follow in your meta tag, all links will be followed except those with rel="nofollow".
So answer to your question is no, meta tag with follow doesn't override individual rel="nofollow".
