what is nofollow and follow links?

Hi im just wondering how i will know if a link is follow or nofollow link?
will i be able to see it in the HTML tag?

 

yes i have a similar question please answer

 

You can either view the page source or use the firefox extension dynashox suggested. I use that extension. Much easier and quicker than viewing the page source everytime.

If you use the view page source option you need to look for rel="nofollow" or rel="dofollow". nofollow will tell the search engine bots to disregard the links it might find on page so that the site doesn't provide any linkjuice

 

they say that dofollow is not written on the page

 

Links with nofollow attribute does not allow pass PR to your particular link.
Dofollow no need to write on the page.
Still if you want to find nofollow links on website, install seoquake it will shows details whether the link is nofollow or not.

 

A nofollow link will have a rel='nofollow' attribute in the tag

Example

<a href="http://www.google.com" [COLOR="Red"][B]rel="nofollow"[/B][/COLOR]>This is a link text</a>

Code (markup):

 

If you want to get backlinks for SEO purposes, you must leave the nofollow.

 

I am using SEOQuake - add-on for Firefox to determine the links which are no-follow. It works great

 

Here is an article on my blog that explains how to check no follow links in either IE or Firefox. I have been using the script for a while and it works great.

 

Thanks every one

 

Thanks for this great plugin!

 

It works, but SEOQuake set to linethrough the nofollow is much better.

 

is there an easy for all that!!

 

Try to install SearchStatus tool. This will check if the site is nofollow or not.

 

what exactly that tool does? is there a way to search blogs with dofollow?
