    Just right click the page and open source code of page in a txt editor and look for rel=''nofollow'' in the h ref tag and if its not there then its dofollow

    If your using Firefox, Install a plugin like SearchStatus. With just a click and point it can tell you if the page has no follow links and which ones are nofollow and which are do-follow.


    If your using Internet Exploder, try this:

    Open Page source by hitting view and page source. Then CTRL + F and type nofollow . If it finds a nofollow tag. Thats your answer. If it doesn't Then assume the link is dofollow.

    That should let you know what kind of links the site has on it.

    Hope that helps m8,

    One of the most easiest ways to do this if you are going to search the source code - especailly in notepad is to go to Edit in the Menu and select Find - then type in follow and click on Match Case.

    This way you can flick through the code finding nofollow or follow links.

    Well, nofollow links look like this:
    <a href="" rel="nofollow"></a>
    HTML:
    While dofollow links do not have the nofollow part:
    <a href=""></a>
    HTML:

    Hi Buddy,

    Just install this Mozilla add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5687/
    Here, red colors refer "no follow", blue colors refer "dofollow" links.

    thanks,

    Check the properties of link in source code you will get the status of link.If the link will no follow that will show "no follow" in properties.

    I like to use Firefox's no do follow plugin....if its red I move on if its blue (a do-follow) I poke around.
    Relatively quick and easy.
