Are these no follow tags?

    <meta name="description" content="" />
    <meta name="keywords" content="" />
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
    <meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en" />
    <meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />

    Or something else? I am still not 100% sure how to detect a no-follow tag.

    Thanks!

    The site I am considering exchanging links with has the meta tags above. If these are not no follow tags, I guess it would be okay to do the exchange.

    Do a Google search for the url and see if any result is returned. If it is, the page's indexed. After he placed ur link, check if the link has the rel="nofollow" tag mentioned above. :)

    What you posted above is meta robots tag and "allows" search engines to index and follow links present on that page.

    The above are "meta tags" in the <head> section of a page, all are normal to use and will not be harmful to you.

    Kniveswood's first post gave you the HTML example of what to look for.


    To detect a nofollow link, view the web page and then <view source>. Run a find on the code for "nofollow" or then run a find on you URL and see if the nofollow as Kniveswood showed is within you link. If it is dump them and move on.
