I use firefox with seo quake plugin, the plugin will show a line through all links that are no follow.
It is the easiest way, if you want the manual way, see the source code, if you see this code <a href="http://myweb.net"[COLOR="Red"] rel="nofollow"[/COLOR]> Code (markup): its mean nofollow link. doFollow links is there is NO [COLOR="Red"]rel="nofollow"[/COLOR] Code (markup): I hope you understand what I mean
Yes, the manual source code lookup is all we do at the moment. Is there no plugin that we can use for IE, similar to Firefox?
Install SEO for FireFox tool; look for some outcoming link within the blog; if it turn red, its a no-follow one.
I have been using Search Status Adds on and it easily helps me which of those backlinks are nofollow..
if you don't see this tag in the source page of the webpage: <a href="http://xyz.com" rel="nofollow">: Means the blog is do follow. Thanks
Danz, Dofollow means the link will be crawled and indexed by google. Nofollow won't be indexed in google or in its search results. But, either dofollow or nofollow, both will get indexed in other search engine like yahoo. So dofollow is only visible for google's eye. The more dofollow backlinks you have from higher PR site, it will help you to increase your page rank. I think I have explained it all here. Also, you can check the link is dofollow or nofollow by right click on the link and click properties. If you could find "nofollow" or "external nofollow" means the link is nofollow. If there is no such words, then it is dofollow.
Check the comment, see if it got "nofollow", otherwise, it is dofollow. It has become a rare resource day by day.
The thing is that people choose to disable do-follow after being a do-follow for some time simply because people are violating the privilege. I have a list of do-follow blogs but after a while when I check again, most of them have revert back to no-follow.
