    I set 'No' to the setting 'Add rel="nofollow" to ALL Dynamic Pages' and that fixed the problem. So Article, Category, and Section pages are considered Dynamic Pages?

    Is it possible to exclude these types of pages from this setting so that the 'Post Reply' links, 'Quote' links and 'Quick Reply' or 'Search' links are still set to nofollow?

    Que? Why is CMS articles not championed as the "kings" of content? I mean, google wants a mainpage on your site in order for them to be crawling, and following your site. And vbseo isn't helping it in this aspect?

    Something I might be missing. o_O

    Hello,

    looks like you have CMS URL rewrites disabled in vBSEO CP, so they still have ?r=xxx part appended and are treated as dynamic pages as a result. You should either enable vBSEO rewrite option or disable "nofollows for dynamic pages".
