SEMRush - Outgoing internal links contain nofollow attribute

[kennylacosta]

Hey all, I see this warning on SEMRush for 2 weeks, but I manually checked my internal links by inspecting the source but there is no "nofollow" attribute on my internal links. This also has appeared on my other website at the same time, though I didn't change anything. Should I ignore this?

How about in the pages' meta robots tag - is there a nofollow attribute there?

No, there is no nofollow attribute.

How about the robots http header? Are these sites provided by a third party or do you have full control of them?

I have full control of the websites. As I said before, I have not added the nofollow attribute. Also, my other website gives the same issue on SEMRush. Could it related about SEMRush?

If there is no reference to nofollow in either your meta tags, anchor tags or http headers, then yes I would say it is likely a SEMRush issue. You should raise it with their support and see if they can shine any light on it.

Can it be the comment section? I have nofollow attribute on it but I dont know if it is counted as an internal link.
