You should use archive.org or archive.today links.

The best way to influence the Domain Authority metric is to improve your site’s overall SEO health, with a particular focus on the quality and quantity of external links pointing to your site.

You can use the Wayback machine addon to easily get archived links https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wayback-machine_new/.

And a bookmarklet for archive.today:

javascript:void(open('https://archive.today/?run=1&url='+encodeURIComponent(document.location)))

FYI, if you’re worried about archive.today going down and references being lost, you can manually leave in the original URL by adding https://archive.ph/o/ in front of any URL, after you archive it. IE: https://archive.ph/o/https://sh.itjust.works/post/26060585 will redirect to the archived page, if it exists.

    There’s no guarantee crawlers will actually honor “no follow” though. Google’s reached enshittification and is intentionally making search worse, so people spend more time searching and viewing ads. Also no follow is to prevent spammers posting links in online forms and message boards, like posting links on Reddit to an external scam/spam domain. Linking TO a major site like Reddit is less likely to be spam.
