    Hi,

    My Sig Link and that of others where I place it was always "Follow" now it is "No-Follow". Change in the Algorithm?

    My site has NO Spam, NO Ads, Not Stuffed, NO Banners etc... A site correctly crawed by DP in the first place place my links as "Follow" and yet with NO changes on my site www.freeuknumbers.com yet DP now determines it to be spam & consequently "No-Follow", really?!

    Signatures of regular members became nofollow some time ago.

    Hi,

    I'm aware of that, however it has also happened to a premium member who also has my Sig Link?

    LOL how does that post help at all? Did you even read the first post? - There were "NO" changes to the site and DP approved it as a "follow" link, then all of a sudden it becomes "no-follow", no changes my end "again", so why has DP changed the status of my site to be SPAM, the only logical explanation is that the Algorithm has changed that Shawn is using.

    So back to my initial question please...

    I was referring to the post I quoted and the fact that premium members can still have their sigs flagged as spam. You sounded like you were wondering why a premium members sig was showing up as no-follow.

    My Sig Link has been on a premium account for a long time and it has always been "follow" but when I just recently checked it had changed to "no-follow" without any change at either end (the text in the link & the website). So how can this be possible? Like I said only 1 or possibly 2 explanations...

    1. A change in the Algorithm to determine if a site is SPAM - which you can see its not & DP saw it was not for a long time...
    2. Manual Intervention - someone has set my site in the system as SPAM.

    There can't be any other explanations and furthermore WHY has my site been flagged as SPAM when clearly it is not!

    Additionally an argument could be made that considering SPAM is not allowed on this forum and is a ban-able offence then how can linking to it be allowed without a ban?
