How to find nofollow tags?

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by MrPoloShirt, Nov 16, 2006.

    1. Do you just open the source of a page and if there isn't "nofollow" next to links, that means there aren't any nofollow tags on that page/forum?

    2. Are there such thing as nofollow tags that are undetectable by from viewing the source? Like a server side nofollow tag? Or a built in nofollow tag?

    Anything else I need to know about nofollow tags, specifically about ones in forums? Any good links anyone knows of?

    Thanks.

    Yeah,use the plugin for FF called SearchStatus..
    After it's installed,right click and choose "Highlight Nofollow Links"..Then all the nofollow links will be in red.

    You don't have to install an extension to do this. Here's another method:

    Go to the following directory:

    C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[random string].default\chrome\

    Then change the name of userContent-example.css to:

    userContent.css


    Open the file up in any text editor (such as notepad), and copy and paste the following code:

    a[rel~=”nofollow”] {
    color: red!important;
    text-decoration: line-through!important;
    }
    Code (markup):
    This will highlight any nofollow links by showing them as red with a strikethrough.

    Use backlinkwatch.com

    Once you see all your backlinks to the side at the end, it shows if it is nofollow.

    whenever I use to find out that if the link is with or without "nofollow", then I just right click on the link and click properties in firefox and it just tell me if the link is with "nofollow" or not. You don't need to install any extension.

    urm,

    just view the source code of the page and find "nofollow"
    simple and effective. :)
