Recently there have been many bidding web directories coming up and most of them are using script from phplinkbid. The script is easy to modify, redesign, etc but I would like to bring notice to Bidding Web Directory Owners that their link detail page (the page where you increase the bids which acts like a detail page) give out a "nofollow" link to the link owner. Kindly edit your link.tpl file and edit the following line: <div class="link-date"><a href="{link_url}" rel="nofollow">{link_url}</a></div> PHP: edit as: <div class="link-date"><a href="{link_url}">{link_url}</a></div> PHP: I am working on my own bidding site giving it a unique look and experimenting with the codes when I came across this nofollow tag being used. And as far as I have seen nearly "all" Bidding Web Directory Owners are sending out nofollow links in detail pages.
Thanks for heads up Sunny. I will inform few of my friends about it Happy to know that you are making your templates
Hey thanks for this, though I did not know that and will investigate and replace the code. Green Rep.
Hello.. Im not at home,... but will do this as soon as i get home as i HATE no follow being used on me let alone using it on another for no reason... will change shortly..thx for the heads up! thx malcolm
Does everyone use PHPLinkBid? I know we built a totally different solution for Chris... I just am wondering what others are using.
Yeah, I noticed and removed those from my directory (Top Ten Link Bids) last night when I was modifiying it to have deep links. That's a stupid place to have a no-follow. Scott.
Nice catch Sunny!!!! Thanks for the heads up! Also awaiting your own bidding site with the unique look
Attention link bidding owners! I have bought my link on the following bidding directories which have not yet fixed the tag. I strongly encourage the owners of these to fix the link.php file. http://bidd.info http://bid4link.com/ http://www.biddingwebdirectory.com/ http://www.frogengine.net/ http://www.prdir.org/ http://www.linkbidders.com/ http://www.bidthelinks.com/ http://www.3wlead.com/ http://www.linktous.org/ I hope all of these are SE friendly. Then the owners should fix the tag. I appreciate your time for fixing it.
Get one at my RealWD Keywords this problem is fixed over there P.S. wow, i don't believe I am such as spammer...
Thanks, I've fixed it in Hold your Links and on Bestbid Free phplinkbid template! Thanks Sunny.. Saad
