    nofollow

    I have enabled "nofollow" from the vbSEO control panel. However, I have some links in the footer file that I would want spiders to follow to. Is it possible to prevent "nofollow" for certain urls?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    you can manually add rel="novbseo" to these links to avoid adding "nofollow" attribute.

    Forgot to mention that you should also manually enable this option in config_vbseo.php file:
    PHP Code:
        define('VBSEO_ALLOW_REL_NOVBSEO',   1);

    Hmmm.... still didn't work. Actually, now NONE of the links at aacircle.com.au/forums contain "nofollow". Am editting only the footer template.

    Have setup:
    define('VBSEO_ALLOW_REL_NOVBSEO', 1);

    and inserted into the footer for a specific link:
    <a rel="novbseo" href="http://www.

    As I see, currently none of the footer links have "nofollow", but some of the links on the page still are "nofollowed", which is ok.
    Could you please provide examples of links?

    Sure.

    In ESL Forums - teaching jobs, TEFL courses and more, for the footer I have placed:

    Code:
    <a href="http://www.aacircle.com.au/learn-chinese-software.htm">Learn Chinese</a> |
    <a rel="novbseo" href="http://www.animeonline.net">Japanese Anime Online</a>
    If you look at the source code, you will see:

    Code:
    <a href="http://www.aacircle.com.au/learn-chinese-software.htm">Learn Chinese</a> |
    <a  href="http://www.animeonline.net">Japanese Anime Online</a>
    Notice how there is a space inserted in the source just before href where the novbseo code was inserted?

    Thanks Oleg.

    The first link is not nofollow'ed because it is an internal one (same domain).
    rel="novbseo" is automatically removed from the second link by vBSEO.
