I thought Digg was NoFollow...

I was on Digg just now and I have my "SEO for Firefox" enabled (highlights links in red if they are nofollow) and I didn't see any nofollow links. I then looked at the code - no rel=[external] nofollow - anyone know if Digg is still NF or is it now DF?

 

its nofollow... it used to be dofollow previously

 

I am almost certain that it is DoFollow.

 

I just checked their source code and it doesn't have either. Not sure if they can hide it within JavaScript, but plain HTML markup has no DoFollor or NoFollow attributes.

Pretty sure Digg IS DoFollow, though.

 

Even if its NoFollow, who cares, because Digg Stories are in Google's Serps within few hours.

 

I'm 99% sure that the nofollow has to be hard coded into the link

 

Best answer in this thread.

Why is everyone speculating? It took me less time to do a quick check than replying to this post. A random link on the main page contained this attribute:

rel="d1v4T9"

Code (markup):

and a random story page had the following rel attribute:

rel="dc:source d1v0xi"

Code (markup):

Call me blind but I really don't see a nofollow tag anywhere it counts.

PS. dofollow is not a valid rel attribute (according to Google, since it's their invention anyway). A link is called dofollow when it doesn't contain a nofollow rel attribute. Before Google invented this all links were dofollow, or just called links.

 

Why do people keep saying that? There's not a shred of evidence. Digg has never been nofollow.

 

Anyone able to offer one answer on this?

 

Digg.com is Dofollow.

 

Thanks for clearing this up..
