Recommendation For PHPLB Owners
Humm (Digital Point Member) recently pointed a very important thing which is of great deal of importance for all PHPLinkBid Directory owners. Please note what he has to say and this is not to be taken lightly 
This is very important and you should fix this issue so that all the sites listed in your directory gets the maximum returns.
Recently there have been many bidding web directories coming up and most of them are using script from phplinkbid.
The script is easy to modify, redesign, etc but I would like to bring notice to Bidding Web Directory Owners that their link detail page (the page where you increase the bids which acts like a detail page) give out a “nofollow” link to the link owner.
Kindly edit your link.tpl file and edit the following line:
<div class=“link-date”><a href=“{link_url}” rel=“nofollow”>{link_url}</a></div>
And replace it by:
<div class=“link-date”><a href=“{link_url}”>{link_url}</a></div>
Humm is a member at DP and owns the bidding directory: Dollar Link.
His contributions are greatly appreciated.
Note: This is the case in the default template that comes out with phplinkbid script. Most of the templates available for phpLB have been taken care of. However we suggest that you do check your link.tpl file. Great Thanks
Please take note that if you remove the nofollow, then someone can buy a link, never place a bid, and link back to their details page. They will not be listed in the directory, but they can get a free outgoing link.
This will be updated in v1.2 by removing the nofollow once a bid is placed.
