    You can try a firefox addon "Search Status". This will highlight no follow links.

    Seo Quake shows lists while Search Status shows links on-the-fly.

    I would recommend Search Status.

    Just search for the "nofollow" tag. If it is not there, then the links are dofollow.

    Some links can be dofollow when you search, in some forums the signature is nofollow and the text is dofollow

    You actually need to check for several things:
    - "nofollow" attribute in link tag (I believe this is what the plugins check);
    - "nofollow" in page meta tags;
    - "Disallow" in robots.txt for certain parts of the website;
    - link through a redirect script that is disallowed in robots.txt.

    Does anyone know about a plugin or other tool that checks for all of this?

    You can choose to use any of these plugins:

    - Affilorama SEO Toolbar (you'll just click the "link" symbol to see link attributes and are highlighted in a color scheme)
    - SearchStatus
    - NoDoFollow plugin

    All are firefox plugins.

    SEO Quake is a cool tool and it easily displays no follow links. and also many information like page info,page rank,alexa rank,inbound links,total rank,yahoo rank,etc
    Original source :How To Check If A Site Is Do-Follow Or No-Follow?

    There is also a Google Chrome add on known as Nofollow.crx it highlights all no follow links with red color

    Hi,

    I think installing SEOQuake or SEO4Firefox add-on for your browser would be the most effective way for your purpose.

    all the best,

    Install the Firfox Addon "SearchStatus". One you are done with this, right click on the SearchStatus Icon on the status bar of your browser and click on Highlight Nofollow Links. This would show all the Nofollow links surrounded in Pink.

    Hope this helps.
