URLs opening in same window

[allkary]

Do you think it can be the seo mod? It is a premium I paid for 

[Arantor]

It looks like it might be related to the SEO mod looking at it.

If you've paid for it, I'd ask the author about it.

[Kindred]

What seo mod did you use?


And Arantor...   Oops... I had it reversed.

[allkary]

It's the SMF Seo Premium Pack http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3082

Thanks for your support, I'll go asking the author.   

[Arantor]

Good luck getting support.

[allkary]

Mh, you don't seem to be encouraging 
Anyway, I have problems with the pretty urls function too of that mod...

[Arantor]

That's because I've seen people have trouble getting support out of the author

[allkary]

Well, I was expecting a premium mod to work the way it should on a brand new installation (it costs 50$!) and this is not really comforting 

[Arantor]

Honestly, the best thing right now is to try and take it up with the author and see where that gets you. You might be lucky, but I'd suggest not to get your hopes up.

[allkary]

 I'll try to get a paypal refund if he doesn't solve my problem.
Thanks a lot for your support! 

[Arantor]

I'd like to think you'll get satisfaction but I've seen a few nasty cases in the past

Go for it

*Ninja quotes Interrobang VERY much and had a very bad argue with the mod author as well*
but anyway kindly bug him until he fixes it or either you get a refund (very much unlikely)

[allkary]

Ok I turned off the SEO mod and all links just open the way they should. I've addeed a nofollow mod and everything seems to be fine.
Except sometimes when opening threads I get a 404 error which disappear when pressing ctrl+F5. Is it a caching issue or something?

[Kindred]

just out of curiosity, which nofollow mod did you add?

[allkary]

I's from the same Seo pack's author, NoFollow All Links v1.2.1

[Kindred]

right....   so, if you nofollow ALL links, then you are actually going to HURT your SEO.

[allkary]

I did not find any updated plugin that allow me to nofollow just external links, so I had to use this one atm. If you can suggest me a better nofollow plugin, I'll be glad to try it 

[Arantor]

We're recommending not using nofollow...

[allkary]

That's not a good choice for me as I don't want to pass page rank to poor websites. I understand your need of getting backlinks, and if that's the reason I can provide one from my main site, no problem. But I don't want to follow all links my users could add to their posts.

[Arantor]

No, it's nothing to do with us getting backlinks at all.

If you don't trust external links, you yourself receive a penalty in so doing. Both inbound and outbound links are relevant for ranking purposes and you not linking to other sources actually has a habit of penalising you for being untrustworthy yourself and has been the case for some time now.
