It looks like there are 'nofollow' tags on all the links, and on Premium profiles it says 'View My Website' which gives no anchor text or help for Search Engines.

Will this always be like that or will MND eventually change it to 'follow' for links?

I was really looking forward to a 'follow' tag

Yes, Premium Members will have the nofollow removed in certain areas of the webiste, such as parts of the profile - directory listing.  The anchor text will not be customizable but it will absolutely help in the search engines.

you probably know that Anchor text can almost be more important than the link.

Nobody searches 'View my website' on Google, and it will only be a small help due to MND authority site.

Will signatures have live links?

Nobody searches 'View my website' on Google,

Since you said "nobody" searches View my website, I thought I would.  It's interesting to see that most of the first page results are real estate sites.  =)

There have to be certain restrictions on what we allow or this site will turn into an text link free-for-all.  It will be link spam from one end to the other. 

There will be opportunties for text link advertising for those who are interested.

Thanks.  I'm flattered. =)

It would be nice to be able to do the text link as mentioned, it does open the door to advertising spamming though... It would also be nice to be able to change font, color, etc... in the signatures

When you open the door to the anchor text changes and color changes this site will become very unprofessional looking. I wouldn't do it!

Wow- Bob Hill mortgage #1 on Google. Bob Hill refinance #2. I must have one of the most common names in the US. I guess SEO isn't some stupid tech boom buzz word afterall! That is robust! LOL

now if only people searched for 'bob hill mortgage' then you'll be on to something...

LOL- Just when my ego got a boost......you had to slap me back to reality.
