This little hack will edit all the URLs within posts and signatures and add a rel="nofollow" attribute to them.

This will do a number of things. First and most notably, it will reduce spammers because search engines will no longer follow these links. It will also stop your pagerank from leeking onto other sites. Also, some people say that adding nofollow to your URLs will increase your Pagerank. This is more of a matter of opinion, make up your own mind about it

I have a quick question. Does anyone know if this mod will conflict with vbAnonymizor? Since both mods edit the links, I'm assuming there might be some conflicts.

It should be ok, however Ive not looked at the code of vbAnonymizor. So I can't guarantee anything. Its worth a try though.

Is it possible to only change links in posts and leave signatures alone? I like to allow some usergroups to get a benefit of the page rank but leave the spammers out.

Go into the plugin manager and edit the plugin named: add rel=nofollow" to urls

Then delete this line:

PHP Code:


			
$this->post['signature'] = str_replace('target=', 'rel="nofollow" target=', $this->post['signature']);

Save it and it will only change the URLs in posts and not signatures

Well, it does some how, many spams user posting to forum to get backlinks.
If we notify them that this forum is Nofollow. They may give up. :d

Thanks, downloaded and installed.

I liked this idea so I added an option to decide if you want to edit the signatures in vBulletin options.

Thanks

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
