Duplicate Title - Magento Products / Kunena Forum - Nofollow vs. Follow
-
Hello Mozzers!
This is my first post so hopefully I can explain this in a way that is clear! I just signed up for my PRO membership and wanted to finally start hacking away at this companies site that I work for.
I ran my report and noticed my Crawl Diagnostics:
715 Dupliate Page Titles
I noticed that a lot those were coming from the customer login in magento. So I added the:
User-agent: *Disallow:/customer/ as mentioned in this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10742052/duplicate-content-issues-for-login-page
Any suggestions on that?
Also, We have a Kunena forum on our site and have noticed all of the nofollow links. People say I should change them to follow links, but other people say leave them or I will get penalized. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Nicholas,
Most SEO spammers won’t bother posting irrelevant/spammy links to blogs or forum posts if they know they will not get to publish a follow link. So a good questions would be to ask who is asking for these do follow links your loyal followers or spammers or people who just want a free link?

Hey Vadim,
Thanks for the response. We have loyal followers and dealers that are on our forums, so I don't think we would have a lot of spammers looking for a free links. Then again they have been nofollow so I'm not sure if that would be a problem later.
