Do-follow or No-follw? How to check???

Hi all!
I was just wondering about how to check a website for do-follow or no-follow links.
For instance I found a PR5+ site & I want a backlink from that one. But I don’t know whether this backlink would be no-follow or do-follow?
Is there any way to check?

 

1) Check in the /robots.txt file for "Disallow".
2) Look for "rel="nofollow" " in the anchor code itself and in the meta tags.
3) Use any nofollow tool for FireFox (just Google "nofollow tool for FireFox)
4) Same as #3 for any web browser.

 

simply right click, view source and see whether on anchor links, rel="nofollow" exists, then its no follow, otherwise(if no such attribute exists), its dofollow..

Regards

 

Check out this similar thread - Do follow for a clear answer.

Otherwise if you want to check manually, just open the page --> highlight that link --> Press right click on your mouse --> choose "view source" --> see if that link has rel="nofollow" attached or not.

 

Use Seo Book SEO plugin: http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/seo-for-firefox.html its a best option.

 

You can checkout manually by pressing ctrl+f and write dofollow then you can find it easily.

 

the aboved peson have offered some good methods.

 

There are several plugins like seoquake etc. the work both for Firefox and CHrome. Easiest way to check!

 

The Mozilla plugins are great to use but even if nothing is installed on your browser, you can always simply check the links status by reviewing the websites scripts sheets.

 

You can use the Mozilla Firefox add-on: NoDoFollow.
Install it and everytime you right-click, you will see an option: NoDoFollow. Click it, and all links will be highlighted.
Blue represents dofollow while red is no follow.

 

Using seoquake or seo4firefox add-on for Firefox would be helpful for this purpose.

BTW, nofollow backlinks would still be helpful for SERP purpose, IMO.

Have a nice day,

 

download SEO quirk add on if you are using Mozila and check the option "highlight no follow links"...

Thanks!

 

I like seo4firefox because it dont just highlight no follow links but displays a site's pr as well.

 

NoDoFollow mozilla plugin.

Or check manually: Source: meta tags and link relation (rel=nofollow ..for example)


Thanks

 

simple looks for rel="nofollow" or rel="external"

 

I use SeoQuake for Chrome and it draws a strikethrough on links that are nofollow. I'm loving it

 

I have used NoDoFollow with great success. I would definitely recommend that. The no follow option on the SEOBook toolbar works nicely as well. Definitely recommend using a tool or you will spend a lot of extra time looking at source code!

 

I think you can also check by viewing the source of the page and searching for the tag "rel" do-follow or no-follow.

 

There is NO "dofollow" link attribute!

 

If no attribute, it`s do follow.

But if meta is something like INDEX,NOFOLLOW or NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW, link isn`t do follow.
