Hi,

Have found a few websites that I think might be of use having a link of sorts on... but how do i know if they're nofollow or not?

Other than checking the source code, is there an easy way to find out?

Thanks for any advice

  • I use the no-do-follow plugin for firefox, google nodofollow plugin.

    Hope this helps.

    • I also have a sneaky suspicion that nofollow links work.

      It doesn't make sense for Google to not follow them. If they want to stop spammy sites, etc with links to dodgy web sites then how can they afford to not follow nofollow links?

      It would destroy the quality of the index.

  • Use the SEO Quake firefox addon/plugin. When activated, it will put a strike-through all no-follow links on the page.
  • I also second the SEO Quake firefox addon. It doesn't add any time to your work and focusing on dofollow links definitely makes sense and should make a difference. I'm not saying that you shouldn't bother with nofollows, but this plugin just makes life easier.

  • Nofollow is often ignored.Nofollow links with well chosen anchor text can pass link juice.Blog commenting on nofollow blogs is still an effective way to increase search engine rank for a term.Thoughtful and interesting blog comments will always bring human visitors.
  • Just build links is my advice.
  • Simply right click the link and see the selection source. There you'll see if it's do follow or not. This works only for anchor text with link. But for URL only, you can always download seo quake, a useful seo tool, for free.
  • I say just simply ignore whether the backlink is follow or no follow and just build links. It makes your link building look more natural and you get some more organic traffic from people who click the links, not just search engine traffic.
  • Oh dear, not all this again.

    Who cares. I haven't bothered checking follow or no follow and it all works out with minimal effort. The no-follow Boogie Monster won't get you if you have them. Don't buy into one way or system, just do some research and find out how to actually do "it" yourself and see for yourself what works and what doesn't work. "It" meaning your SEO job.

    Imagine what a little research will get you. If you are serious about making money then you should be willing to do your own homework. It's not going to take years, don't let the "experts" fool you. People rarely learn without doing, so start now and save yourself some money and headaches.

    • Bingo!! If you want to make money in it, then learn it! It is the only way that you will know what works.

      And if you don't want to take time to learn it, ask yourself this question - am I doing this because I like doing it or because I want to make money? Some people say they can make money doing something they don't like. I have a hard time with that.
  • If you want a sure getting a backlinks you must consider do follow and no follow links, me as link builder I rather choose do follow because they are really effective for backlinks.
  • no follow links have actually given some of my sites better rankings weird as that may sound.

    There are many ways to see if the link is nf or df. Easiest would be extensions for your browsers. If you have safari,just grab Yoast's css sheet and you will see the nf links highlighted
  • Well if you are using firefox, NoDofollow addon will help you, otherwise, just right click the link and click the properties, if it says external, it's confirmed DoFollow. If it's nofollow it says nofollow or external nofollow. Hope this will help. Try it out. Thank you
  • I use SEO for Firefox plugin from SeoTools.
  • This type of link does not improve the link target search engine ranking.Google, Yahoo, and MSN all include nofollow links in site backlink counts.Google webmaster tools record of backlinks includes nofollow links even though they are absent using the link operator.

    Within your domain any page that does not need to be indexed can be linked using rel=nofollow.

    • "nofollow" has nothing to do with indexing.
      That's not what it's for. It is to not pass PR juice on.

      For things you don't want indexed, use "noindex"
      or tweak your robots.txt.
