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

Thanks a lot for the product. I have installed the product, unfortunately nothing happened. Do I have to do anything other than importing the product?

Yep

in your AdminCP > Forum Options > rel="dofollow" Options >

Add rel="dofollow" to Signatures? (Choose yes)

If it doesn't work rebuild the links in your existing posts

you need to go to AdminCP > Maintenance > Update Counters > Rebuild Post Cache

Thanks Mongez. Actually 'DoFollow' means there should be no 'rel="nofollow"' attribute, right? I think

Code:

if($vbulletin->options[reldofollowsig] == 'Yes'){
// Ad nofollow

should be

Code:

if($vbulletin->options[reldofollowsig] != 'Yes'){
// Ad no follow

Because the option page says 'DoFollow' and not 'NoFollow'. Anyways, thanks a lot for the plugin. It saved me a lot of time and worries

So why is the spam on all my forums getting worse and I have had a no-follow mod in place for over a year now?

That mod (and yes it still works on 3.8) allows me to specify external URL's that are not do not get the nofollow attribute to (eg to my other sites if a link is posted to them). I see nothing in this current mod that allows this (I stand to be corrected if someone can point this out), so will stick to the other one.
