Two-Step External Links for Link Weight Retention
Developer Last Online: Jun 2015
Two-Step External Links
Thought up by Chris Beasley, coded by Chris Bowyer, copyright Jalic Inc. 2009. Compatibility Tested on 3.7.x and 3.8.x, may work on older versions as well. Description With Google's recent change to nofollow calculations using nofollow on your user submitted external links will still harm your site by depriving your internal links of PageRank. (See here.) Forums that had installed nofollow on signature or other such user contributed links thinking they were controlling this are in fact no longer doing so. One solution is a two-step linking process presenting a disclaimer on a redirect page (filled with your internal links) to mitigate link weight loss. For a full explanation of benefits and the math behind them see the official page (a wordpress plugin is also available there). Two-Step External Linking This method is also useful for sites needing a disclaimer before sending people to third party user contributed websites for legal or liability reasons. Using this plugin can reduce the amount of pagerank sent through user contributed signature and other links by over 90%, for every post or thread on your forum. It also allows you to keep using nofollow to indicate to search engines that if the link is to a bad neighborhood you are not at fault, while not wasting link weight on the nofollow link. Settings The settings are located in vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> All the way at the bottom. You can do the following: 1. Create a white list of domains or urls exempt from redirecting. 2. Decide to apply "nofollow" to the external link that shows on the redirect page or not. 3. Turn on two-step linking for signature links. 4. Turn on two-step linking for post/profile visitor message/blog links. 5. Turn on two-step linking for user profile/memberlist links. 6. Define your redirect warning disclaimer paragraph. 7. Decide to use an additional automated meta-redirect or not, and the second delay. Statistics New Files: 1 File Edits: 2 Products to Install: 1 Readme included Additional Uses Because the actual redirect page is fairly independent of vbulletin and easy to access, you can run any other external links from any software on your site through it simply with the format of example.com/forums/externalredirect.php?url=http://www.externalexample.com. So if you're able to edit your CMS or otherwise manually format your links as such, they will be run through the redirect as well. Support I'll do my best to provide support in this thread only for people who have it installed.

Search for "meta refresh" on google. It's a simple meta tag that will redirect after some seconds.

There is a setting in admin to put your own site (internal links) or any other site in a whitelist to not be redirected. |

The redirect isn't what saves your weight, it is the intermediate page that sends most of it back through your site via your menu. |
