Today I published a review that I had previously written at PF/TYM. I noticed that it's possible to put a link to the original review page at the bottom of the review. Since I know that M@x is all about SEO, I added a rel="ugc" (user generated content). Is this allowed? Just because the software allows me to, doesn't necessarily mean I should be doing this  Here's the review in question: https://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=2933492" rel="nofollow - https://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=2933492

^ I didn't find the answer http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=78" rel="nofollow - here . Looks like links in reviews are not forbidden.  ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour) |

Well, today I submitted a review with a link and it was rejected. The only way to do it is to edit the review - there this check does not apply. I guess that M@x does not want links in reviews, so the edit review form should be fixed. Would be good to hear from M@x about this. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

| I would be wary about including hypertext links or hyperlinks in reviews if the feature to easily add that is not already there. I think that citing the source should be enough, and even a plain text url if you want. And traditionally M@x has liked original to this site reviews. |

I know, PA is all about SEO - all links must lead to PA. I'll remove the links. It's a shame, since I currently have about 30k links from TYM to PA  ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:
