Nofollow links in Signature

I posted a thread here a few days ago and many of you suggested using nofollow tags.

Let's use a vbulletin forum like DP for example. Imagine you want to make the user signatures (just the user signature part) of this vbulletin forum nofollow. What are the steps involved?
Is there a code or anything to add and where to add it. thanks for your support.

 

You mean how to make your links nofollow when your posting? You do this,

[*nofollow=http://example.com]anchor[/url]*]

Code (markup):

or

[*nofollow]http://example.com[/url]*]

Code (markup):

(remove the * marks)

I want to know about no follow link.

 

It's good or bad when use it?

 

Its good, if we don't want to pass link juice and don't want to spread PR!

 

I agree with you....

 

No.

He wants to make signatures in his forum "nofollow".

 

If its not so good then why do many sites are not using this no follow tag

 

Some people don't like their websites associated with digital point, but like the traffic it can pass to them.

 

If you are planing to use nofollow tag in your own forums signature, then don't expect a lot of webmasters to get into it.. unless it's a high traffic forums

 

I think he wants to configure his vBulletin to use nofollow?!

This should do the trick: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=93780

 

To make the signature part of your forum nofollow, you should find the PHP source code to the signature part and make it check whether there are links in it, if it returns true, you make it add a "rel=nofollow" attribute to any link in it. Doing so would require you to know PHP and how to use it.

Now for the necessity of doing so: You may have a website of of PR 5 and you may have people spamming your forums and making use of their signature links to get backlinks from your forum. So basically putting Nofollow on your links makes google understand you do not personally give any importance t-o those links. You do not want people advertising unnecessarily on your forum now would you?

 

Yeah, putting Nofollow is the best way to keep spamming away from forums or blogs!

 

Look up vBSEO conditional signatures. That has everything you want

 

if you have a vb account, then go to vb.org and you should be able to get eveything you need. I know there is an option somewhere
