    Question about no follow in urls

    Is this just a google thing? Cause I see Yahoo trying to reply to my threads and send private messages... I thought that this was supposed to be stopped without a robots.txt if you had vbseo installed? Am I missing something? I removed my robots.txt and I saw yahoo start going into these areas.

    Relnofollow ALL Dynamic Pages
    Enable this option to prevent search engines from following ALL dynamic links. Some examples are: 'Post Reply' links, 'Quote' links and 'Quick Reply' or 'Search' links. These pages have non-relevant (or "noise") content which should not be indexed by search engines , resulting in better SEO.
    This is set to Yes but I still see Yahoo trying trying to send Private Messages and replying to threads

    @BrentWilson:

    It is still a good idea to keep robots.txt in place along with the rel=nofollow features where possible.

    Can you point me to a good robots.txt to supplement vbseo?
