Software To Detect NoFollow

GuerrillaIM · 10-09-2009, 10:08 PM

Does anyone know of any software that I can feed in a large list of links and it will go to each link and parse the code and tell me if any nofollow links exist?

I could really use this to make my life easier. If it gave a percentage of dofollow links vs nofollow links on each page also that would be incredible.

I'm on verge of getting the app made but I just get the nagging feeling I am sure someone must have done this already. I'd rather just get the app from some where rather than face hassle of making it.

Cheers

I don't know of any commercial software that wil do this, but you can find the base code that will do this in almost any PHP programming book.

It would take minor mods to get it to do what you want..

I don't know if thsi posts helps, but I guess is "don't pay too much" if you'r gonna get this made for you.

Its a very simple script to make.

Take care

I just spent sleepless night and coded the app myself using C#.

App takes input file of URLs and then outputs a list of the ones that don't have a nofollow link on them.

However, after running it I realise its big flaw. If the blog has no comments on it then it will think it is a dofollow blog. I fear I now must make this software more complicated by working out how to detect pages with comments and check them.

Maybe you've already implemented this, but are you only checking external links for nofollow or all links.

Internal links maybe nofololow for "SEO Shaping" (ie having a nofollow on a link that leads to a contact us page, or privacy page), whilst the comment links might be dofollow. Which is what the OP wanted.

Let us know how you get along with the script..

Take care

There are softwares like Comment Kahuna in a market which gives you Dofollow Blog list, But Can't Judge whether The Blog comment are closed or active.

Thaks for link Lumbardi, I have seen them and they have limited scope.

Bruce - right now it just checks for existence but this is due to me not liking making regex. I will go back over it and make the regex a bit more beefy after I have solved problem of no comment links on page to check
