How do I add a rel=me in the body of a Google Sites page?

Question

Does Google Sites support rel="me" on links? I'm finding with straight HTML it strips it right out and replaces it with rel="nofollow". The same thing occurs if I try rel="nofollow me".

Is there any way to get the rel attribute to work with Google Sites?

Answer 1

Google Sites automatically adds rel="nofollow" to all external links. There is no way to override or remove this - Google Support Post.

Internal links (links to pages within your own site) are no affected by this - you can add rel="me" to internal links and it won't be stripped out / replaced.
