added adding always among automatically bit building com common email engines entirely extra generate generated goal google info isn junkie link links listing listings marketplace option page pages particular problem product provided sales scripts search shop site sites sort tag turned website

Why does e-junkie automatically add a "no follow" tag to the links i provided in my e junkie listing?

My goal is to generate some extra sales through e-junkies website.

But it couldn't hurt to get some inbound links.

The "no follow" tag destroys any SEO value of the link?

This is a bit disappointing and anyone who knows even a little bit of SEO would be upset.

Hope to hear back soon.

We do realize the potential SEO value of links in E-junkie Shops and Marketplace; unfortunately, black-hat SEO hackers also realized this and were abusing Shop/Marketplace listings as "link farms" to Google-bomb keywords linking to other sites, so we had to start adding the rel="nofollow" attribute to all links added in such listings.

Search engines, and Google in particular, frown upon black-hat SEO "tricks" such as Google-bombing and link-farming to boost page ranking in search results, and they are aggressive about blacklisting any sites they perceive to be link farms or otherwise involved in black-hat SEO activity, so we had to curtail that sort of activity on our site to prevent all E-junkie.com pages from vanishing off the face of Google and other search engines entirely.

I've been dealing with the same problem on my forums. We eventually turned them off but I understand that isn't an option here.

I am a long time supporter of e-junkie and I would never use it to perpetuate black hat SEO tricks.

A better description of my goal is, a small business owner doing his own organic link building campaign. White hat always.

Is there a work around? Or can we apply for an exception? I would love an e-junkie inbound (follow) link.

Marketplace/Shop product listings are all generated from scripts shared in common among all our clientele, so it is not possible to make an exception for any one client in how those scripts function.
