Crawlability.com without rel=nofollow value

Hello,

I believe that link does not come nofollowed.

Well the link was placed there because that is our copyright. As for it not being nofollowed, it might be stated that it must be followable somewhere. I will flag this for someone with more information.

Hello,

rel=nofollow is added to the link in vBSEO copyright on all pages except for homepage.
You can also select a non-linked copyright option manually in config_vbseo.php file.

This is what I should say smart decision
I really liked this idea of yours,

Should definetly spare some time looking @ all vbseo configs

This was a decision made a long time ago (in the early days) and should probably be revised.

Two things: at the time, it was divulged/discussed with the community, and an unlinked option was also made available.

That said, you are right, if it's rel=nofollowed, it should be sitewide or none at all. I've posted an update request to get this straightened.

On another note, I can assure you Google is much smarter today than it was in 2006, and techniques such as PR sculpting, linked copyright URLs, etc. have no bearing on rankings.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, it will be rectified.

There are MANY options that are not available within the user interface, but are through a direct file edit.

This was done for several reasons, but mainly, to keep novice users from possibly selecting a bad option that would bring their site down, etc.

In the includes/config_vbseo.php file, towards the bottom, you will find a block similar to this:

Code:

 // ****** COPYRIGHT NOTICE ******
    // As per the License Agreement (www.crawlability.com/vbseo/license/), you may NOT remove (or modify) the
    // copyright notice. Select one of the copyright notices to be displayed in each page enhanced by vBSEO:

    // 3. Search Engine Optimization by vBSEO 3.3.2
    // 4. SEO by vBSEO 3.3.2

    //
    //
    // When this option is set to '0', the system auto-selects a copyright notice for you. Setting this
    // option to a value from '1' to '10' will display the copyright notice of your preference.
    define('VBSEO_COPYRIGHT',           X);

Where X is a value 1-10. options 5-10 are not linked and will bypass the rel=nofollow attribute problem until we have a new solution to replace the current.

Hi Marcos,

Can you please provide a URL to a page where it is nofollowed?
