To avoid SPAM injection in listings, it will be nice to be able to add "no-follow" tag to all outgoing links from the listing details.

Most spammers know that no-follow tag does not pass any Page Rank juice, so they won’t post any spam listings.

In addition, it will be beneficial to add no-follow based on listing prior review.
For instance, some listing may be follow and some no-follow.

Hello Petnax,
Great idea, we will think about it and try to add this feature to one of the next software version updates.

In addition, it will be beneficial to add no-follow based on listing prior review.
For instance, some listing may be follow and some no-follow.
Do you have an idea how to allow users post links with no-follow? add this option to the listings plans?

WordPress.org uses a similar plug-in for no-follow links. However; they are using this plugin for comments section of the website, where spammers leaving comments with links to bad neighborhoods.

In our case, it can be done in two ways:

1. No-follow attribute added automatically by the system, each time user add a links or website URL to listing details.
a. Add no-follow to all outgoing links located on listing details;
b. Add no-follow based on results provided by Bad Neighborhood at http://www.bad-neighborhood.com/text-link-tool.htm

2. No-follow can be added manually by Administrator during listing review.


It will be nice if you will include both options, so we have the ability to give a credit to our GOOD users and block spammers.


>> add this option to the listings plans?
Personally, I won’t recommend adding this option as a listings plan, in order to get paid for it; because, it considering selling links and against Google Guidelines.
