    Who's making the link nofollow?

    I'm working on the home page for a site and I can't figure out what's making a type of link nofollowed. The site is skippinghearts.com, and it's the center column (the "more..." link). I'm having a hard time tracking down whether that is nofollowed by vbseo, vbulletin's software or the portal script vbadvanced.

    Can someone here tell which it might be? Or maybe eliminate vbseo as the culprit?

    Essentially this is vBadvanced news module, but I'm using it to pull a feed from a Wordpress installation in a subfolder of the same domain. I've whitelisted the folder in vbseo, but I don't know if I would even need to do that.

    I'm kinda stumped.

    Ok, I figured it out, sort of. It's vbseo, and specifically it's the "Add rel="nofollow" to ALL Dynamic Pages" option that's causing it.

    Is there a way to selectively disable this feature?

    you may be able to add that link in the whitelist
    I'm not sure if it'll do link specific

    Thanks for the reply -

    I've tried every permutation of external white list url to get it to not nofollow the links, but they won't work. Plus, it seems vbseo (correctly) recognizes the link as an internal one, so that could be why the external white list doesn't work.
