J-BusinessDirectory - No Follow links

How can I set all links in the business directory where it says "website" to be "no follow links"?

Hi,

This is for style 5 business display:

path: /ROOT/components/com_jbusinessdirectory/views/companies/tmpl/default_style_5.php

<a itemprop="url" class="website" title="<?php echo $this->company->name?> Website" target="_blank" onclick="increaseWebsiteClicks(<?php echo $company->id ?>)" href="<?php echo $company->website ?>">

replace it with this:

<a itemprop="url" class="website" title="<?php echo $this->company->name?> Website" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onclick="increaseWebsiteClicks(<?php echo $company->id ?>)" href="<?php echo $company->website ?>">

The code responsible for website link it's almost the same ... search for it and add rel="nofollow" after the target="_blank" tag. Here you will find the styles: /ROOT/components/com_jbusinessdirectory/views/companies/tmpl/

This is not an official answer.

Hi, 

Slim is correct. You would need to update your website links to have the attribute  rel="nofollow" set as per the given example. 

I am looking forward for a possibility to set this in every company entry. You should not waste your linkjuice on site that you dont want to share.

For example: You can set the follow link as a point in the payed packages. E.g for the free plan your link is nofollow, for a paid plan the link is follow, or maybe for the very well paid plan the link is follow from the homepage. This feature should be included in every good directory because the goal of a lot of companys to register on your plattform is getting a link to its homepage for seo.

Exactly Martin. We want to be able to decide which clients we want to send link juice to. That way you could tier the pricing based on the SEO benefit to the customer. Some may want to pay just for a listing others may want a listing with the added SEO benefit of a do follow link. We plan to turn this off site wide but for our SEO clients we will put a do follow link in the business description. One of our domains is really powerful so it would make the price too expensive for the smaller businesses that just want to be in the directory for the exposure.

To add to your ideas it would be great if it did not even have to be set by package but you can click it on or off on the business listing itself so regardless of the package you could choose if their link is a do follow or not.
