Oh yes, in the same file, you need as well to find :

Code: Select all

   $ret = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])((www|ftp)\.[\w\#$%&~/.\-;:=,?@\[\]+]*)#is", "\\1<a href=\"http://\\2\" target=\"_blank\">\\2</a>", $ret);

And replace with :

Code: Select all

   // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
   $ret = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])((www|ftp)\.[\w\#$%&~/.\-;:=,?@\[\]+]*)#is", "\\1<a href=\"http://\\2\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">\\2</a>", $ret);
   // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END

This can be good as well : deter comment spam mod, which adds :

Code: Select all

rel="nofollow"

and is configurable to strip the tag for selected domains.

I really like this discussion. Because when you look @ the vbseo mod* you will see really a lot of the internal and external links are nofollow. They allsow use the nofollow so that the search engine does not spider some parts of the forum, like users, faq and that kind of stuf. I have heard it is a better way than using robots.txt.

* A mod for vbulletin with pretty urls and other seo optimizations.

Yahoo does not really take the nofollow tag into account, but does follow the robots.txt disallows.

I'm not 100% found of the nofollow tag, it can be handy, but the Internet would be a bit "sad" if no one would share a bit of his PageRank.
It's pretty normal to post link to pages we like, and this is the exact meaning of PageRank : try to find out what page are appreciated the most by real users.

So yes, it can really help out to fight against spam, but again, we cannot really treat everyone as a spammer, that would be going a bit too far IMHO.

I agree, but in vbseo it is allso used for letting the bots not go to unimportand pages like we put in the robots.txt. And someone said to me that with a nofollow tag is better than robots.txt, but maybe its better to use both.

The robots.txt is enough, but you can add nofollow as well on useless pages link among your site.

I just added the first mod that makes the links non clickable and it works a treat.

Thanks dcz

It worked on the first day, but a guy has just been in my forum and posted a live link with only one post

This mod will add the nofollow tag on bbcode links.

It's not that easy to disable bbcode links based on user posts.

So the active link you mentioned must have had the no-follow tag or ?

[ultimatehandyman]

Yes it had the no-follow tag, but when I originally changed the code at the start of this thread any links posted by new people were not clickable and so you had to copy and paste the url into the address bar. Then for some reason they were clickable- perhaps the poster added the url tags to it manually.

[dcz]

That's just the difference between raw url and url posted using bbcodes.
