How Does it Work?

In the Core dna platform, marketers can utilize the content editor to access the link configuration panel. This panel provides intuitive options for assigning attributes to each external link. This not only reinforces consistency across the site but also ensures that users interact with external content in a manner that aligns with overarching business goals.

Practical Use Case: A marketing team launching a promotional campaign in partnership with another brand can use external link configuration to seamlessly track referrals and ensure that all campaign links adhere to specific standards (e.g., including "nofollow" to maintain brand SEO integrity).

Implementation Example

When a digital marketer needs to add a link to a third-party review, they can use the settings panel within the text editor provided by Core dna. By setting the target to "_blank," the link opens in a new tab, keeping the user's original browsing session intact. Furthermore, by adding a "nofollow" attribute, the marketer tells search engines not to pass any authority to the linked page, thus optimizing their site's SEO strategy.
