u gotta view the source of the page <a rel="nofollow" href=""> it means it nofollow link or u cansee if all the links on the page as no follow if in meta tag its <meta name="robots" content="index,nofollow">
would you like to share that addon.. im using webdeveloper. it doesnt highlight. have to do 3 clicks before its shows if its a nofollow..
If you don't want to install that add on you can also do it by modifying your userContent.css file (the stylesheet that Firefox provides that you can use to override any default web styles). See http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/seeing-nofollow-links/
haha. actually had that already installed. but didnt play with all its features. just the default. thanks anyways
Is this so you can post a comment on a website for example, with a link to your own URL, so that it helps PR?
Well, that's how it works, basically. You post something a website, a comment, review, anything and by adding your URL you are actually creating a backlink. The nofollow attribute isn't saluted by visitors of your site when it's asigned to their backlinks. That's why many forums do not practice it.
Try http://www.quirk.biz/searchstatus/ It highlights nofollow links, plus lots of other great features.
I've downloaded that extension, is there anything I have to do to enable it? I can see the page rank/alexa rank on my screen, which is new, but not sure if it highlights no follow links? Is there a way of testing?
Yeh, right click on the "@" next to the pagerank and make sure "Highligh nofollow links" is checked. ~Adam
Check whether: - The site's robots.txt if a certain folder has a nofollow attribute - Your site's anchor tag with rel=nofollow attribute
About robots.txt, this has ben bugging me, what if i install a link exchange script that automatically checks the links; could my bot determine if the exchange partner has blocked main bots (GoogleBot, Yahoo Slurp,etc) in its robots.txt ?
I would suggest checking it manually before you install a script. Robots.txt and nofollows are checked manually.
