Are the links in posts and profiles in webmaster forums Dofollow or Nofollow?

Are the links in posts and profiles in webmaster forums Dofollow or Nofollow? What do you say about it? and how do you check it ?

Thanks

 

It depends on forums.. You can check that using nodofollow add on

 

If your running firefox:

1) Highlight the URL/anchor-text

2) Right-click on the highlighted anchor-text, & select "View Selection Source"

I don't see a nofollow, so it looks like your sig is being followed:

<div class="signaturecontainer"><font color="Red"><b>START GETTING TARGETED CUSTOMERS QUICKLY!</b></font> <b><font color="RED"> $27 ONLY !</font></b> <a href="http://www.sagawebs.com" target="_blank">DOWNLOAD NOW</a></div>

Code (markup):

 

To save yourself to so much stress, just install plug ins that can detect which links are do follow and those who are not.

 

Thank you so much everyone, btw, where the plugin is for firefox?

 

or you can just use the seomoz toolbar

 

Most links are do follow on forums. Sometimes webmasters will be uptight and put no follow in the signature link field, but the links within the posts themselves are 99 times out of a 100 do follow. Another tricky thing is finding popular forums that allow sig links related to your niche. Best of luck,
