Outbound links are hyperlinks that point from your website to another website. While they can be beneficial for SEO, linking to problematic or low-quality sites can harm your site’s credibility and rankings. Here’s how to manage outbound links on Shopify and WooCommerce:

  2. Go to Online Store > Themes.
  3. Click Actions > Edit Code.
  4. In the Layout section, open the theme.liquid file.
  5. Search for outbound links using the tags.
  6. Review each link to ensure it points to a reputable site. Remove or update any links that point to problematic topics.
  7. Save your changes.

WooCommerce (WordPress)

  1. Log in to your WordPress admin panel.
  2. Go to Appearance > Theme Editor.
  3. In the right-hand sidebar, select the theme file where your outbound links are likely located (e.g., header.php, footer.php, or single-product.php).
  4. Search for outbound links using the tags.
  5. Review each link to ensure it points to a reputable site. Remove or update any links that point to problematic topics.
  6. Click Update File to save your changes.

By regularly auditing and managing your outbound links, you can maintain the credibility and SEO health of your eCommerce site.
