backlinks in longs posts.

I think it would be a great idea to have an option to include backlinks in long posts.

- I know many people copy and paste content all the time from my site and never give credits. This will help in situations like that. Obviously they can easily remove the link, but it does raise the chances of these links being created.

there is a thread here on vb.org that does something like this: Hidden Back Links - vBulletin.org Forum

However I am just not sure if this would be perceived as bad from googles side. I would much prefer to have a default vbseo feature that does this properly

Hiding content will even cause your site get blacklist by search engines. It is pretty dangerous and i warn everyone not to use that hack.

yeah that is what I though. Hopefully vbseo will make a version that will not hide the content, make it visible but have it work in a similiar way so we can still get the benefits.

The best thing to do would be to use a right click trigger, like oncontextmenu = appendstring();
and appendstring() { doeument.getElementById("thepostid").appendChild = "some text with a link"; }
or something to that effect.

so, they highlight, right click -> copy. what gets copied includes the link back.

I guess this is kinda similar to stuff like imageshak that append a 'footer' to the images.

yeah good one. this would be great for seo.
