    Guys

    I want to know how I can check before posting at any blog/forum/site if that is dofollow or nofollow?

    I posted on many forums but later came to know those forums were nofollow and I don't want to waste my time again.

    GCS

    You can use SearchStatus Firefox plugin for that. It gives lot of valuable information other than dofollow/nofollow status.

    On the site view the page source. Use the find ability, ctrl f, and search for any of these:

    rel="nofollow"
    rel="external"
    rel='nofollow'
    rel='external'

    If you find any of those, it is nofollow. If you don't it is dofollow.

    I also use SearchStatus, free program, that highlights the nofollow links when I'm viewing a page. The followed links have no highlights.

    If you use firefox, try searchstatus addon. After installation, on the bottom right, right click and choose highlight nofollow links.

    Any nofollow will turn pink.

    There ya go, good luck :)
