I actually just talked with BBB.org ( Greater Baltimore Area ) about this backlink issues, since we found a few competitors who had " FOLLOW " backlinks while we did not, all this while we paid their yearly subscription. After asking why this was, the BBB.org ( Greater Baltimore Area ) Informed us that this practice of follow links for backlinks was going bye bye.

**They told us that all follow backlinks will be changed to NOFOLLOW links shortly.  **

As for the when the listings would be changed, that was answered " Whenever the webadmins of that area get to it ". So seems they were giving one group of customers one treatment while giving another the run around.

I don't think BBB.org will be around much longer after this major tidbit is implemented, since the overall site doesn't do much more than act as a verified source and google and plenty of others do this for free.

Spend your money on something with a better ROI, in my opinion.
