Add nofollow link to login and register link

Question

Hi,

I am using SnowFlat theme. For guest user whenever they access any question, they get following at the bottom of the page:

Please log in or register to answer this question.

But the login and register links are not "nofollow" and due to this Google is indexing all login link for all post. How can I make it nofollow for SnowFlat theme?

Thanks,

Kailash

The easiest way is to use robots.txt. If you don't already have one make that file in your site root, and add

User-agent: *

Disallow: /login

Disallow: /register

(Remove the blank lines between them, I'm posting this on mobile and can't do it here.)

Thanks! As of now I have blocked it via robots.txt.
