LinkDiagnosis Says NoFollow But Browser Plugin Says Otherwise

Wes888 · 05-23-2011, 07:19 AM

I have two links that LinkDiagnosis says NoFollow but when I run my browser plugin, the links shows as DoFollow. Which one should I believe in?

Anyone interested to take a look, the urls are as follows:

There is no such thing as dofollow, so if it said "dofollow," it's
saying something that does not exist. One of my pet peaves,
"dofollow" insanity.

Are you talking about links in comments? The first site does
not even seem to allow links in comments.

The second site uses intensedebate, a javascript, so
there would be no backlinks anyway.

The unicorn word dofollow does not even make sense. If one
was to coin a word to mean no nofollow, it would logically
be "follow." But neither exists and you can't force google to
do anything.

Sorry. Every so often I feel the need to go off on the ridiculous
term, dofollow.
