Links are 'no follow'

[UKBL]

I've been advised by someone that all the links in my directory are 'no follow'. Pretty useless for a paying member. :mad:

All of the directory is set to 'follow' in the Admin CP so what's going on? Is it no-follow or not? :confused:

Just checked the one in your 'Pet Walking & Sitting Services' category to see, but there's certainly not any nofollow tags there.

browselinks.php
<a href="showlink.php?do=goto&amp;l=13&amp;linkurl=http://www.waggytailsdogwalkers.co.uk/" target="_blank">View Site</a>

showlink.php
<a href="showlink.php?do=goto&amp;l=13&amp;linkurl=http://www.waggytailsdogwalkers.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.waggytailsdogwalkers.co.uk/</a>

This is a Directory entry:

<strong><a rel="nofollow" href="showlink.php?l=21">Name here</a></strong><br />

The actual link to the website works but search engines alledgedly can't get there because the link that leads it to location of the URL is no follow.

:confused:

I do see this in the browselinks.php page around the title of the link:
<a rel="nofollow" id="linkbit_3" href="showlink.php?l=3&amp;catid=28">

The rel="nofollow" tag is not in the default vba_links_linkbit template though, so that looks like something you've added, or possibly something from vBSEO.

Hmm. Fixing this is gonna hurt. :eek: Can anyone clue me in as to what to change? :)
