    Nofollow?

    I have the nofollow feature enabled...

    But I manually edited my footer template with some links that I'd like to disable it on.... What's the best way of going about this since it seems like vBSEO automatically includes them in when I am viewing the page source.

    You can add these domains into the whitelist section of vbseoCP.

    Hi,

    You can manually add the rel="follow" to the links in the HTML source of the custom page, if you also add rel="novbseo" to the links this will stop vBSEO processing that link and will not add the nofollow.

    you also need to enable VBSEO_ALLOW_REL_NOVBSEO option

    In vBSEO 3.2.2 and earlier you need to edit config_vbseo.php file and add:
    define('VBSEO_ALLOW_REL_NOVBSEO', 1);
    In vBSEO 3.5 and on you need to edit vbseo/resources/xml/config.xml, find
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <settings>
    add after
    <setting>
    <name>VBSEO_ALLOW_REL_NOVBSEO</name>
    <value>1</value>
    </setting>
    Ceri

    Edit: the rel="novbseo" should be at the start of the link so you would create

    <a rel="novbseo" href="http://domain.com/page.html" rel="follow">Anchor Text</a>
    Alternatively if you want all links to that domain to not have the rel="nofollow" you can whitelist it like Brian suggests, But this will then be for all links to that domain and not for each one as you specify.

    Thank you, simple enough.
