    Hi DP

    I was just surfing the forum I noticed 1 thing is that the day when DP added nofollow attributes to signature, the very next I didn't got any useful posts. Since I am regular user of DP. Some times there is discussions on movie on any other topics which in neither related to Internet nor SEO.

    They have been nofollow long before you became a member. So for you, it's always been that way.

    There are many different topics in the general forum, hence why it is called general. (I assume this is where you looked and saw the topics unrelated to SEO/movies.) Look in the SEO section - sure, the posts might be kind of stupid, but they are vaguely related to SEO (or spamming).

    Not only are the links nofollow, but also hidden (for signatures) except from registered users. So, Googlebot will not see and crawl these links. Links in posts are also nofollow. The only exception is Premium Members; some of their signature links are not nofollow.
