8 ay boyunca bana ayda 3.000 dolar talep eden bir SEO uzmanı tuttum, ancak herhangi bir sonuç görmedim. Web sitemin karşılaştığı teknik sorunları çözemedi. SEO araçlarım tarafından bildirilen ana hatalardan biri, ‘Sepete Ekle’ bağlantılarının bir ‘nofollow’ özniteliği ile engellenmesidir. Bu sorun 3.299 sayfada mevcuttur. Şimdi çaresiz ve bir sonraki adımda ne yapacağımı belirsiz hissediyorum

You shouldn’t really ever use nofollow on internal links, but having it on the “add-to-cart” button really isn’t a big deal. It’s not holding your site back.
If some tool is telling you this is a serious issue, I would ignore it.
And to be fair, that isn’t an SEO’s job to fix either. That is for your web developer to fix.
I have no idea what else they are or aren’t doing for you. They might be doing a great job. They might be doing a terrible job. No way to know from what you shared.
Why would you want dofollow on “add to cart” links anyway? That part is NOT something I’d go “fix” as I do not believe it needs “fixing”.
” I now feel helpless and uncertain about what to do next” <– go learn basics of SEO.
The “I haven’t seen any results” after 8 months is far bigger problem, at $3k/mth. Do you have access to GA4/GSC and can you look at past 8 months and see what changes, if any, there are in impressions, ctr, keywords bringing people to your site.
If over 8 months nothing changed there, then I’d blame your SEO expert. But if it did, and it increased, then he did his job, and rest is not his problem.
OP, your type of posts are something that look lot better if you take screenshots of your GSC data, or however you track your analytics, and you can erase/cover name of your site, but we’d need to see what exactly is going on to judge whether you got your money’s worth or not.
Dude they should be no follow. 3k a month could be a lot or a little depending on how many leads he’s generating and the ticket price.
I am charging 12k per month for a high ticket small business. Took revenues up a million dollars in a year. They netted 350k on that.
Ask for a report of what he has done. Assess your sales for 2-3 years prior and then with the addition of him.
No offense. It doesn’t sound like you know much about seo, so you gotta look at the numbers as a business owner. Feel free to ask any questions, happy to help.
Ouch. How did it go on for 8 months though?
It sounds like a publishing error – but who cares if the pages have nofollow? This isn’t an error that likely to hold you up and in the greater scheme of things I can’t see it being important.
What metrics did they setup and did any of those improve?
You’re not a great manager if you come here after 8 months with 1 issue that isn’t an issue.
It’s not a ‘main’ issue and if you don’t understand that you’re not capable of hiring the right guy.
Your entire checkout process should be blocked via robots.txt and on page tags. The tags are just incase a spider finds itself on the page. Think about it this way, any page you want indexed, you want users to enter your site on. Keep in mind that tools will lump all pages together, so while for the majority of your pages, being blocked is bad, your checkout process is not. Those tools don’t know they’re check out pages and just flag them for you to verify. A LOT of tools are like this. Do not worry about getting 100% score on an automated crawl, but your expert should be educating you about this.
You’re probably being scammed. Of course **”Add to Cart”** pages should be `nofollow`, cart pages are built on the fly and are transient, meaning they cease to exist the moment the checkout is completed or the session times out. But you mention 3,299 pages, so you either mean PRODUCT pages or you have some kind of issue were transient pages are not cleared.
If you want, send me your link via PM and I can take a quick look on that specific case, but if they really are cart pages, then they should definitely be `nofollow` , bar none. Also, which SEO tool reports that and how does a link look like? Depending on that, you can accurately identify the technical issue. It’s trivial, I know, but since you say they spent 8 months and still didn’t find the “trivial” stuff…
Any other concerns should be discussed with your company, but either they’re scamming you or they have no idea, hence why you see no results. I’d ask for a very detailed report and if tings are fishy, then ask for your money back or sue them.
How did you manage to let this go on for so long?
Obviously I don’t have the full details, but with $3k per month there should be results a lot faster than 8 months. The add to cart thing is not an issue here, the real issue is you’ve spent a bunch of money without any results – ditch the expert and get a new one.
