Adding links to press articles mentioning my business without compromising SEO

[robin255]

Hi, I have been doing a load of PR and press for my business and have secured some amazing mentions and backlinks from national newspapers and magazines, including the Times, the Telegraph, the Independent, the Mail Online, OK, Sky News and The Sun. I now want to add these press links to my website in a new press section, however I don't want this to affect my newly acquired domain authority and also look like a reciprocal link. I'm terrified it will affect my SEO and undo all the hard work I have done acquiring these mentions and backlinks. How should I go about doing this?

Don't over think it, if they add value to your readers and show credibility to the brand then it won't matter about any of the other stuff, linking out to relevent sources isnt a crime and can sometimes help.

Thanks, I'll try not to overthink it too much. Should I make them do not follow links at least? Any other tips?

You’re overthinking it. Adding a press section with links to these articles won’t hurt your SEO as long as you’re not doing dofollow links everywhere. Just use nofollow or even just mention the publications without linking directly. It’s a good trust signal for visitors, and Google won’t see it as reciprocal linking unless there’s an unnatural pattern.
