I know that viewing the source, and searching "Follow" on the notepad, with hopes that nofollow doesnt show up will tell you if the blog is do-follow.... However, this blog: http://www.inman.com/blog No-Follow comes up in notepad... however SEO Spyglass tells me I have a backlink coming from there, as well as there are tons of brokers posting anchor text links on there.... can anyone tell if this is actually do-follow? Thanks!
The links in the comment are dofollow.... but they arent to your website, it's to the member profiles because you have to signup to post. Someone did post a link inside the comment text which is nofollow. Here's a quick way to see if a link is nofollow or not if you have firefox: How to Easily Spot NoFollow Links Also, if you are interested in commenting on dofollow blogs, here's a dofollow blogs search engine.
Search status doesn't properly show ones that are "external nofollow", thereby sometimes not always being accurate.
