Miscellaneous Hacks - Add rel="nofollow" Attribute To URLs - Reduce Spam - Increase Pagerank

Please rate and mark as Installed

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

Please how to have nofollow sigs and dofollow post links?

--> / AdminCP / Plugins & Products / Plugin Manager / add rel=nofollow" to urls / Edit

And replace plugin code by:

$this->post['message'] = str_replace('target=', 'target=', $this->post['message']);
if($vbulletin->options[reldofollowsig] == 'Yes'){
$this->post['signature'] = str_replace('target=', 'rel="nofollow" target=', $this->post['signature']);
}

that will not add nofollow to post links. Do only on your risk, but in my case worked

Replace the contents of the plugin, add rel=nofollow" to urls with this:

//$this->post['message'] = str_replace('target=', 'rel="nofollow" target=', $this->post['message']);
if($vbulletin->options[reldofollowsig] == 'Yes'){
$this->post['signature'] = str_replace('target=', 'rel="nofollow" target=', $this->post['signature']);
}
