This is WITHOUT FIREFOX. I read that there is an add on for firefox, but I use IE8. Any easy way to tell? I have been checking the source code but was wondering if there is an easier way.
Dude! You need to get Firefox! There are so many great add-ons for SEOs! Keep IE8 too if you really need to but I'd recommend getting FF too!
Like what? what add ons are there available. Can you give me a few examples and a brief description of what they do?
YOu may check this previous thread...it has helped me a lot. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=963074
Quirk SearchStatus addon for FF: http://www.quirk.biz/searchstatus/ Once installed, right click the "q" and click "Highlight Nofollow Links" They will then show up with a pink colored backing on all web pages without having to do anything.
Also keep in mind that and only Google care "nofollow" tags.. Nofollow links work perfectly good with other search engines such as Yahoo and Bing.
Has something changed? Google, Yahoo, MSN Unite On Support For Nofollow Attribute For Links http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/050118-204728
I don't know whether it works for IE8 or not,but in Firefox i check the link by- right click>properties. If i shows Nofollow or External Nofollow then it is Nofollow otherwise Dofollow.
Don't forget that Google looks at the nature of your inbound links, and it is absolutely natural to have a mixture of "NoFollow" and "DoFollow" so I suggest that you DO NOT dismiss "NoFollow" entirely
Firefox is best in SEO.. You should make use of this browser as all the necessary SEO plugins are available in firefox.. One useful firefox plugin to determine if a link is do follow or not, use the "No Follow plugin".. It will highlight do follow links with green and no follow links would be highlighted with red.. Pretty easy..
I have tried using seoquake plugin but still do not understand how to identify if a blog is do follow or not.
