But is using nofollow not going to cause a leaking of link juice that buttons would not?
There's no reason at all why input buttons will change the design of the site once styled with CSS.

Add to Cart Linkposted in Technical SEO
We have shopping cart links (<a href's,="" not="" input="" buttons)="" that="" link="" to="" a="" url="" along="" the="" lines="" of="" cart="" add="" 123&return="/product/123. </p"></a>
<a href's,="" not="" input="" buttons)="" that="" link="" to="" a="" url="" along="" the="" lines="" of="" cart="" add="" 123&return="/product/123. </p">The SEOMoz site crawls are flagging these as a massive number of 302 redirects and I also wonder what sort of effect this is having on linkjuice flowing around the site. </a>
<a href's,="" not="" input="" buttons)="" that="" link="" to="" a="" url="" along="" the="" lines="" of="" cart="" add="" 123&return="/product/123. </p">I can see several possible solutions:
- Make the links nofollow
- Make the links input buttons
- Block /cart/add with robots.txt
- Make the links 301 instead of 302
- Make the links javascript (probably worst care)
All of these would result in an identical outcome for the UX, but are very different solutions.
What would you suggest?</a>
