If I leave a comment on a blog with a link to my blog how can I tell if the link I left is do-follow or no-follow? Is there a tool for this?

    Unless the site explicitly says so one way or the other, you probably can look at the source code and see if there tag is there.

    There is a firefox extension that can show the dofollow/nofollow attributes of the links on a page without viewing the source code.

    I think this is it:

    There's a few Firefox plugins that highlight any nofollow links.

    Probably the most common are SEOQuake and SEOBook (both come with a huge range of other useful SEO functions)

    You can just see the view source of the particular page and find your site whether it has a do-follow link of no-follow link. Simple

    You can find it in html source of the website and you can also upload any plugins to check nofollow and dofollow in your browser as well.

    There's a certain FireFox plugin that would specify if a blog is do follow/no follow. You can also look for the source code and find the tag.

    Check the page source of the blog then find a no follow code if it appears then it is a no follow or else a do follow blog.

    It's very easy to identify a link as do follow or no follow. To get the result you have extend the add ons named "NoDoFollow" in Mozilla. Now right click on blog page where you have posted your comment and select nodofollow and thus if you see the link as red color then it is no follow or if it appears as green color it's do follow.
