Description

This small mod let's you control how URLs should be processed in your forum.

Adding rel="nofollow" to links in your forum will help improve your sites overall pagerank by reducing pagerank leak due to link to external sites added by your members.

This mod lets you do this for all URLs posted by your members.

In addition, you can control whether URLs should open in a new window, or should open in the same window the user is on.

Installation
  • Download and extract .zip
  • Upload product xml ( Admin CP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products > Import Product )
  • Configure your internal domains from vBulletin Options > NuHIT URL Settings
  • Click Mark as Installed, and you get this cool image for your signature



Features
  • No vBulletin core files modified.
  • No new files to add.
  • Add rel=nofollow only to external links.
  • Allow internal URLs to open in current window.
  • Support multiple domains for internal URLs (e.g. forums.vbulletin.org,wiki.vbulletin.org)
  • Easy to use and manage from vBulletin's Admin CP

Hi, did you enter your internal domains in the Admin CP > vBulletin Options > NuHIT URL Settings?

Also, are you testing with new posts, or with existing posts. Read the FAQ on existing posts.

Thanks.

Guys,

In the universe of pages the page-rank average is a constant: 1, 100 or K....
Incoming links increase your page-rank and all agree... but since average of all page-ranks is a constant, clearly outgoing links will decrease your page-rank.

That may be true in theory. However, in the real world:

1. how many billions upon billions of pages and links go into that universe of pages?

2. how much influence is 1 link, 100 links, 1000 links, or even 10,000 links going to have on that average?

3. can you point me to a single page, just one, anywhere, where you can discern even a miniscule negative effect of outgoing links?

Hint: The answer to question 3 is "No", just to save you the trouble.

As I said, PR bleed/leakage is a myth. Period.

nofollow was a Google creation from early 2005 that was supported by both MSN and Yahoo. It was designed to stop the search bots from following links that weren?t necessarily endorsed by the owner of the site it was on. It had a mixed welcome, but was incorporated by many of the major players in blogging. Google implies this is a link spamming issue mostly relevant to blogs. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/...ment-spam.html

Whether or not having lots of outgoing links to sites with unrelated subject matter is a factor in search results is unknown (for years I have heard links to sites with unrelated subject matter was 'bad'), but from reading around a bit most sites are abandoning the tag. Then again, Wikipedia now uses the rel="nofollow" tags on all outgoing links.

We all have our own SEO theories, but since none of us know the actual algorithms used, no matter what we do we're guessing.

Personally I don't use the tag, but that's just my position.

The rel="nofollow" tag was designed to reduce link spamming, especially blog comment spamming.

It really hasn't been successful in achieving that goal. It never had "reducing PR leak" as a goal because "PR leak" doesn't exist.

I don't have to know the details of Google's algorithms to know that it's a myth. Neither does anyone else.

But all of this is off-topic. My intent was not to initiate a multi-page debate but just to alert the author to the error in the claim he was making for a mod that otherwise may be useful for many forum owners.

Installed but it's not working for me. What should I enter in Internal Domains? Which format is right?
