    I am not sure if this is a stupid question, but I am sure I don't know the answer.
    How do you know whether a blog is DoFollow or not, when they don't display it somewhere on their sidebar? Is their some tip to find out?

    :eek: Thanks!

    View the source code. Nofollow links have inside the anchor tag this: rel="nofollow".

    Technically there is no dofollow tag but it's the term used when a nofollow tag doesn't exist.

    <a href="http://www.link.com" rel="nofollow">Link</a>

    You can download the SearchStaus add-on for Firefox which highlights NoFollow links. Also has some other good features.

    First, ya find a post that has comments on it. Find a commenter that included a link in their name then right-click the link and choose properties.

    The little popup will show all the links properties, and if the link is "nofollow" that will be identified under the "Relation:" heading.
