Invisible nofollow tags?

Is there a way of invisibly adding rel="nofollow" tags to the links on your website?

Or would anybody always be able to see them if they went to "view source" on IE or Firefox?

 

Not sure, I am not a coder but there might be a possibility to add them in a css stylsheet. You should ask in the coder, designer or developer section

 

No, it's not possible!

 

of course not!
naughty idea..

 

Lol, it wasn't something I was planning to do. It was just so that I know for sure when a site is using nofollow tags. This lets me be sure that the links that are pointing towards my site are being factored into SERPs and such.

Thanks for the replies!

 

I am a pro at this stuff, even I cant do it, no one can

 

Yeah, it's definitely NOT possible to hide them without server-side scripts (cloaking). But there is an easy way to check for nofollow tags on a page - I made a bookmarklet you can add to your browser's toolbar - it's on the tools page of my blog. Click the link titled "Show Nofollow Links", then drag to your browser's links toolbar. Then proceed to the page you want to check and click the bookmark. It will highlight anything with "nofollow" in red. If it's not lit up, it's a clean link. (There are some similar ones out there, but mine's a little better because most of the other ones miss some nofollow links.)

 

Neat tool webgeek but confused on how to add it to my browser. I tried to drag and it did nothing.

 

I think you could serve one page to the user and another to the SEs but that would be considered cloaking

 

yes its possible.

You can make a script,if the agent is google you can add the nofollow ,if not it will return null

 

That's true, but that's really low...

 

You can also: right-click it and choose Bookmark This Link.

 

Ok, you are talking about Firefox, I was using IE. Thanks

 

It works in both - It's "Add to Favorites" in IE.

 

@WebGeek182, I did not say that I actually approve of Cloaking (as a matter of fact I don't)

 

No worries. I was just stating my opinion.

( I secretly do approve of cloaking. JK. )

 

I got it, thanks and neat tool. I bookmarked you page and will check for other stuff. Thanks again !

 

Thanks! Glad you like.

 

you can make the nofollow tags invisible. it's an intrestimg idea
