YE Backlinks gone?!?!

[Dylan Phelan]

The other day I noticed that all my backlinks from this website have disappeared. I use to pick up quite a few from YE.

Has anyone else experienced this?

It seems that this has been happening since the forum was re-launched... the signature link weren't changed to a NOFOLLOW attribute were they?

All YE links have been nofollowed after the re-design, so yeh, they will no long pass link juice. Might've been added due to the growing number of crappy links on the site

Im disappointed with the choice to goto No-follow ????

[Dylan Phelan]

Yeah that is rather disappointing to hear.

The should have considered something like allowing a maximum of four links in the signature, and put stricter controls in place for links in posts. Or maybe just make the links in posts Nofollow...

I run a business related site, so I was picking up quite a few relevant backlinks which is great for SEO.

Can any of the Mods confirm that the links are now NOFOLLOW - and if so; any plans to change this???

Hello MODS!

Any of you care to clear this up??

I'm picking up YE backlinks in webmaster tools, but all the ones that were showing when checked from the Google toolbar have been dropped....?!?!
