How Do You Determine If a Blog is DoFollow?

    Before I've been using an add-on for Firefox that can determine if a blog is DoFollow, but somehow with the new version of Firefox4, the add-on was no longer supported.

    Anyone know of any other tools that you can use to determine if a blog is DoFollow?

    You view the source to make sure there isn't a rel="nofollow" in the link code.

    You should select on the existing comment on the blog and view source to find if there is nofollow tag or not.

    I use SEO plugins, including showing nofollow links.

    SeoQuake is best.

    Plugin is not working for FF4 anymore...

    How do you do this with SeoQuake?

    the most simple means is to use a FF ad-on that is no-do-follow supported

    hello, what i do is go to "view source" then do edit - find to find the link, if it has no follow code beside it then it is a nofollow link. I tried using a firefox seo tool but it wasnt as good. Need to do it the long way, i think.

    I use Firebug addon. So I just right click the links and click Inspect Element to see the html source code. Easy and fast.

    Even I use the technique of viewing the source code. But I think that using firefox addon is a better option.

    The SEO Quake plug-in for FF will help - but sometimes it doesn't show accurate info!

    Simply right click anywhere on page -> view source -> press ctrl + f and look for rel='nofollow' - if you see URL field in the comment embedded in it then it's no-follow, simple :)
