If you've been led to believe it is a "waste of time" to post a comment on a blog/website that is No Follow, then you have been misled. These links, while not as useful as a Do Follow link, are far from useless - assuming the site you are posting them on is worth posting a comment to, whether its Do Follow or not.

How do you think it looks to G if you have nothing but Do Follow links to your website? Certainly not natural, and natural is the name of the game these days.

At any rate, to answer your question, you can use the free Firefox extension called NoDoFollow to see which links are Do Follow, and which are ones not.

It is not working with Firefox 4.

Google the nodofollow 1.5 for the latest version.

by the way nofollow links are red and dofollow links are blue when using this add-on.

Right simple answer and easy but.
Dofollow link is crawled by the search engine spider and count as a high quality backlink rather than nofollow link is not counted as a back link because is not indexed by search engine spider.

Couldnt agree more spyder its an Im myth that no follow means no use, you want your backlinks to look as natural as possible and like you said it would be totally unnatural to have no no follow links

Simply the answer is that in no follow you will not get PR juice of the site but in Do follow you will get the same up to some proportion as well as traffic and SERPS. No follow and do follow are required for any site you are doing blog commenting and any seo techniques . You can use the Firefox extension to check about do follow or no follow in any blog or site.

I use the search status and the alex add-on. They are both killer!

If you are having trouble using the add-ons, make sure your add-on toolbar is on. You can use this short cut "Ctrl+/". Hope that helps. Love both of these add-ons btw guys

Well, "easy" way is to check the source code of the webpage (If there is already a link there). Then you can see in the link itself if it has a nofollow attribute attached.

It isn't for me: I make money from them.

When I can leave value-adding comments on relevant blogs, I get targeted traffic from them, without even having to do the targeting myself. And that means opt-ins and sales.

The time-consuming part of "blog-commenting", for me, is identifying blogs relevant enough to my niche for their traffic and backlinks to be worth anything to me. Once I've found one, I'm certainly not going to fail to make a relevant, value-adding comment on it, if I can, just because its backlinks are allegedly "nofollow".

I have the Firefox one-click toy to differentiate between them (the version 6.0 one seems to have installed itself in my Firefox now: it wasn't available when I first downloaded version 6.0) but I don't even check them - simply not relevant to me.

Many search engines seem to ignore "NoDoFollow" anyway.

Many people believe that Google doesn't discount "nofollow" as much as it sometimes claims: it's ambiguous at best.

There are many threads here explaining/discussing do-follow/no-follow links, if you're open to having a little re-think about them: this one might start you off, and then there's more here, here, here, here, here, and so on.

First off, there is no such thing as "DoFollow", there is only the absence of "NoFollow". Sure, you can put 'rel="DoFollow"' in your link code. You could also put 'rel="CousinHerman"' in the code, and it would mean just as much.

Second, there are server level ways of implementing NoFollow that no browser plugin will find, so relying on that is iffy at best.

Last, go back and read Alexa's post again. Read some of the threads she's provided links for.

Blog commenting isn't just about links. It's about humans. Most of the humans I know aren't going to be impressed with a comment on a travel blog by "GetABigger Wang" with a one-line 'good post' comment and a link to a boner pill affiliate page.

My nofollow links bring more traffic to my website than my dofollow!

To find dofollow links you can use software that highlights them. I use SEO for firefox myself it highlights them red I think. You could also go to the specific webpage right click and go to view page source, all you have to do then is perform a search. Type in "nofollow" to the search box and if its found its a nofollow blog/forum.

Go after both dofollow and nofollow. As the rest have already told you there is value in both.

  While I completely agree with the comments above saying you should not dismiss nofollow links, if you still want to find 'dofollow' links another way to find them is to search for comment management plugins that remove the nofollow attribute.
  
  So for example you could search for people using the nofollow free plugin by Googling
  
  intitle:keyword phrase "nofollow free"
  
  where the keyword phrase is relevant to your niche.
  
  SEO Quake can also indicate whether a link is nofollow or not.

If you guys mentioned "no dofollow" is not so important, well, I have to agree with you guys. You have made your point there, it's not about "dofollow" or "no dofollow" or what so ever, the most important thing is the real traffic from the real human beings. But the thing is when we do blog commenting on relevant blogs, how we are going to impress them so that they will visit our blog without forcing them too??

Don't try to force them to go to your blog. Don't comment with the sole intent of drawing visitors.

Do write something worth reading. Do join the conversation.

It's not all that much different than contributing to forum threads. Add value.

Okay, now that I've got the general stuff out there, here's a specific...

Don't try to link to your home page, unless it's the most relevant page to your comment. Link to a post relevant to the conversation.

Let's say you have a cooking blog, and I'm commenting on a post about secret recipes for pasta sauce (every Mama has one).

I might comment that, if I'm making Bolognese (tomato and meat sauce), I can change the sauce by varying the mixture of the meat used in the sauce, and provide a link to a post on blending meats for pasta sauce.

Of course, that page has a very prominent opt-in box, and a CTA drawing attention to it before and after the post...

The side benefit is that other bloggers may very well decide to respond to you on their blogs, linking to your post as they do so. These organic links are the very best kind, drawing both link juice and visitors, while also building your brand and authority.

Granted, doing things this way is more work than just dumping 'nice post' on a bunch of blogs you picked because they used or didn't use a 'nofollow' tag. But when the stars align and everything works, the results can be sick.

I use SearchStatus for Firefox. It will highlight the NoFollow links and has lots of other cool feature, such as showing the robots.txt of the site, etc.

It also provides a nice PR and Alexa ranking icon in your status bar. It's great for quickly checking PR of sites, especially now that Google stopped supporting Google Toolbar for Firefox 4 and above.

That said, NoFollow shouldn't prevent you from commenting at all.

Highlight a backlink (keyword/url) then right click you mouse, then select inspect element or view source. if you see this "rel="nofollow" then it is no follow.. if you are familiar with it, you can easily judge a site if it is nofollow, NOBODY'S COMMENTING. lol..

Use SEOquake and set it to put a line through nofollow.

That said, nofollow links are far from useless. They have several benefits, including passing "link juice" to several search engines other than Google, diversifying your link portfolio, and maybe even passing some juice via Google.

Seomoz indicates that there's a higher correlation for rankings with nofollow links than dofollow, even. Not that correlation=causation, but it's something to look into. The most likely scenario IMO is that large, authority sites don't focus as much on "SEO" and therefore acquire more nofollow links which increases the correlation.

But who knows?

JohnMcCabe 8 years ago

Using any browser plugin or viewing source code will only work if the page in question puts the meta information in the header or individual links.

If the no-follow is implemented at the server level, you'll never be able to tell the rule is there.

How is it done?

One way would be to write a rule in the robots.txt file disallowing any link to a domain other than the site's own domain.

Originally created as a way to manage the flow of link juice in one's own site, NoFollow became a way to discourage spammers looking only for link juice. Many experts believe that whether a link is NoFollow or not has little to no effect on its power to influence rankings.

Some even suggest that focusing only on "DoFollow" links (since people insist on using this erroneous term) may be more harmful to small sites than large ones, as large, authoritative sites will tend to attract more NoFollow links naturally.

  If the no-follow is implemented at the server level, you'll never be able to tell the rule is there.
  
  How is it done?
  
  One way would be to write a rule in the robots.txt file disallowing any link to a domain other than the site's own domain.
  
  Originally created as a way to manage the flow of link juice in one's own site, NoFollow became a way to discourage spammers looking only for link juice. Many experts believe that whether a link is NoFollow or not has little to no effect on its power to influence rankings.
  
  Some even suggest that focusing only on "DoFollow" links (since people insist on using this erroneous term) may be more harmful to small sites than large ones, as large, authoritative sites will tend to attract more NoFollow links naturally.
  
  Thanks

I've read conflicting articles and whether to dofollow or nofollow external links on your website. One argument is use of dofollow dilute your link juice that goes to your other pages on your own site. However I believe I read an article by Matt Cutts many months ago where he recommended using dofollow.

An example is a link to the Better Business Bureau BBB. You know it is already indexed in Google, so why send any link juice to them. But you want customers to see you are a member and be able to click the link to verify you.

Or another example may be a link to a the official brand site so customers can get more information about a product or get warranty service. Dofollow or nofollow?

Thanks

Ok. To clear up a few things:

1. Nofollow links are not ignored. There are several benefits to them (this is from the perspective of the site getting the backlink). Having a mixture of nofollow and dofollow backlinks pointing to your site make your link profile look more natural. Plus, not every search engine's crawlers use the nofollow attribute at all.

2. You do NOT need to use dofollow on every internal link. Pages such as your privacy policy or others that you have no interest in ranking should be issued a nofollow tag.

Start by taking off your "gotta keep all the juice for my site" hat for a moment...

What Matt Cutts is really telling you is very simple. If you believe a site is "worthy" of your vote of confidence then leave it as a follow link. If it is an affiliate link, or other site you do not want to promote, then "no follow" tag it.

Here is the way you should think about this. What is going to improve the overall value of the internet for you and your readers? Do that. In your example of the Better Business Bureau, I would leave it as a follow link. They are relevant, authoritative, and valuable to my readers. If it was an affiliate link to Clickbank or Amazon I would no-follow it, since the actual page does not provide overall value.

You can bet in the long run by following the advice in my last paragraph you are going to increase your relevance to Google and avoid more of their algorithm tweaks than trying to focus on always eking out one more tiny ounce of link juice.

  You can put as many "rel=dofollow" tags as you want, anywhere you want. It doesn't mean anything, because there is no such thing as a "dofollow link."
  
  "Follow" is the default value, it does not have to be declared. In the absence of a "rel=nofollow" tag, spiders will follow links. There is some evidence that other search engines, and even Google at times, will follow the link anyway.
  
  With that being the case, Barry's advice above makes the most sense. Only use the nofollow tag, and then only on links you do not wish to endorse to the spiders.

Nice said, but as i think Google looking for quality more, so every one should take care of quality and nothing else. if your link will be live at high PR (less OBL) page with No-follow attribute then it will be better to post your link at link at Do-Follow page with low PR and lot of obl out be there.

No follow links don't affect rankings, absolutely not (Google says). Infact it makes your page more SEO friendly as it makes the spiders/bots job more easier to index your site and filter out links.

After all, if a page is not worth indexing, why not tell the bots?

If you do enough searching then you'll notice that it's heavily debated. My personal opinion? I obviously prefer "dofollow," but I'm not going to turn down a nofollow link. At the very least it's going to help your diversity. And other engines don't seem to be as clear on their stance.

A hyperlink can have two tags: nofollow or dofollow. NoFollow tells the search engines to not continue to the website or give it credit for a link. Reversely, DoFollow tags give your website credit for the link. All of the links we obtain are DoFollow

DoFollow is simply an internet slang term given to web pages or sites that are not utilizing "NoFollow." NoFollow is a hyperlink value that tells search engines not to pass on any credibility or influence to an outbound link. Originally created to help the blogging community reduce the number of inserted links into a "comment" area of a blog page, the attribute is typically standard in blog comments. It helps overwhelmed webmasters disallow spammers from gaining any kind of advantage by inserting an unwanted link on a popular page.

  Google came up with nofollow to combat spammed links
  in unmoderated ways, like comments.
  
  Recently, they have even told adsense users to
  not put adsense next to spammed comments.
  
  Now, what constitutes a spammed comment?
  A link? Gibberish? I don't know, so I will not
  put adsense on pages that allow comments.
  
  Oh wait! I stopped allowing comments ages ago...
  they were all spam. Including a zillion that had no
  links...
  
  The point is, if one thought logically, what does
  "nofollow" actually mean? SPAM or untrusted
  link.
  
  So, one has to wonder what google thinks of
  a site that has nofollow links. Are they
  acknowledging that they are allowing spam?
  That the links on their site are not to be trusted?
  
  Big, huge, authoritative blogs and sites, like yahoo,
  fully use nofollow with no problem. Joe Blow's
  site cannot be that lucky.
  
  Ask yourself, what is the point of a nofollow link?
  
  Why was it invented?
  
  Google does not ignore the nollow links. They have
  nothing to do with actually not following them, so the
  name is a misnomer. They have nothing to do with
  being indexed either.
  
  So why would one go after nofollow links, or even put
  them on their site?
  
  Let's see, google spies your link in a nofollow. Does
  this mean someone thought your link was spam?
  Untrusted?
  
  There is no reason to get a nofollow link, unless it
  helps you get boatloads of targeted traffic from people
  clicking on the link.
  
  Nofollow was invented for one reason and one reason
  only. SPAM.

For people doing SEO, "do follow" and "no follow" are of course not unfamiliar. Dofollow and nofollow are the link attributes attached to a link on any website to assist the search engine about its quality. Webmasters use this service heavily to tell search engines whether the link posted on their website is a reliable one or not. It helps the search engine to determine if the website wishes to link their page to the mentioned link, so that the visitors could have more information about their desired topic.

A nofollow tag has the following format (HTML code) rel="nofollow">text link</a>. The nofollow tag indicates to Google (and other) spiders to not follow the link to its intended place. Thus, making such links value-less from an SEO point of view. The only intended audience for these links are human visitors who cannot tell the difference between a followed link and a nofollowed link (because the code is hidden in the back-end).

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no friggin attribute "dofollow." Before passing oneself
off as an expert, get a grip on reality.

Of course, many, many people think there is a dofollow because
some people overuse the term. Quite meaningless, actually,
there is no dofollow and you can't force google to do anything,
nofollow or no nofollow. I detest the term dofollow. Complete
bogus term.

And as stated, nofollow has nothing to do about indexing or
following the link.

Yup! Nofollow links don't hurt, but logically speaking...

Here's another caveat. Boy I'm on a roll with this one.
Little known.....webmasters have been trying to avoid
any penalties for paid links or link trading by putting
the nofollow with them, not realizing that's not what
it's for. So again, google sees a nofollow link either
on your page or attached to your url...is that a tip off
it's a paid link?

I never put any nofollow on any of the links I sell.

Ok,

Here's my 10 cents on it.

I have been trialling (across 300 sites) over time link building from nofollow link building.

Google are pretty clear that they do not index pages or pass pagerank to pages if they are no follow.

You can see this here - rel="nofollow" - Webmaster Tools Help

There are other search engines that will index, but I know I don't care about the other ones as this is where all the traffic comes from for my clients sites.

I have found if I am using nofollow with an attempt to rank clients site for a specific keyword that I have zero success. This is why it's important to source keyword related backlinks with the attribute isn't "no-follow" or "External no-follow".

But this isn't a lock off to the total argument.

What I also noticed is google are still using backlinks from social sites and high cred sites in order to determine the authority of a given site, which is the reason that social media is playing a bigger role in SEO.

So although no-follow will not directly assist in ranking for a keyword (especially since Google will not directly acknowledge that link), it will still assist with the overall SEO process as long as you are using a variety of link building techniques.

I would love to hear others thoughts on this.

Thanks

Having nofollow links on your website won’t harm your SEO as such, but it will affect the flow of link juice through your website, not limited to the pages for which you have nofollow links pointed.

SEOs used nofollow links to prevent Google from indexing pages that they deemed irrelevant for SEO, such as terms and conditions pages, disclaimer pages, contact pages etc – by excluding these pages from being followed by Google they were able to ‘sculpt’ their PageRank, ensuring that more important pages were treated as such by Google.

Google’s recent change to the way it treats nofollow links means that adding the nofollow attribute to a link no longer tells Google to ignore and apportion the link juice equally to other pages linked from the same page; it instead drops the link juice to the page that has been linked with a nofollow link.

The way to get round this is to structure your website better, rather than relying on being able to just nofollow links to pages which you do not want indexed.

So, in short, having nofollow links on your site doesn’t hurt it as such, but you’re not helping your other pages to garner more link juice in the way they used to before Google made its change.

If you will find free ones thay probably will be spammed already.
If you will to pay for a list of do follow links, you can get good quality, but also few people know about it.

Best method: do the research by yourself
- try to use special Google operators like: "allintext:leave a comment" or any other related to placing a comment term but keep "allintext:"

That's pretty much all there is to it. There's a few free tools floating around, I believe. But the best thing to do is do the research yourself. Though I'd add that Scrapebox is incredibly helpful here because it can automate most of the work on a massive scale.

Will a link with the nofollow attribute give you any boost in backlink benefit power/juice for your search engine rankings with Google?
Code:

<a href="signin.php" rel="nofollow">sign in</a>
Not according to Google. Beats me why anyone is still debating this point

Google Webmaster Tools Help

Are you spreading links around just to get a search engine benefit? Save your money and time. The auto-blog-commenters just add to the spam deluge on Auto-Approve blogs. And because serious quality blogs are mostly manual Admin Approval, why do it?

The good news is... commenting manually on Non-Auto-Approve high quality blogs with a quality comment can get you a lot of value...

Will a link with the nofollow attribute bring your website some traffic?

Surely it can. The I-want-to-know-more-human-click kinda traffic. Careful placement for blog comments can bring you lots of genuine buyer traffic too if you use a good overal strategy

Targeted Traffic interested in the topic on the blog post and interested in your post

Secret Sauce Tip for Quality Traffic from NoFollow Blog Comments

High quality blogs gets quality traffic. Visitors who most likely interested readers who love to read quality comments. Most high quality blogs with manual comment approval do not allow Links inside the comment.

UserName Links - However they will allow a nofollow attribute link in the user name, but trying to use "diet secrets" as a user name won't get you approved too often.

But most manual approved comments will allow your real Username to include your noFollow link
Code:

<a href="http://www.MyLovelySite.com/diet-secrets" rel="nofollow">Sam McReady</a>
Truth is, those user name links rarely get clicked. No traffic without a click.

But what is almost always allowed is a citation in the comment

citation - this is just your website domain name without it being a link. example: domain.com

"...so after all that, eventually I lost 312 lbs using a simple fruit diet plan with my regular exercise program using only a deskchair. I wrote it all out in a PDF and anyone is welcome to download a complimentary copy at MyLovelySite.com"

So how does a No-Link at all NoFollow comment get you any Targetd Traffic?

Even the village idiot seems to know that copy-pasting MyLovelySite.com into Google will get him there by showing your website at the First Place seach results for MyLovelySite.com. And the high percentage of comment readers who will google your are very targeted high-value visitors for you.

Try this method and... go look in your site analytics after awhile... it will show you visits from Referring Domains where you don't have backlinks. No link to click on but there are on your website because they googled the citation

The same thing works even better in forum posts. Stay on target with relevant comments and posts and the high quality traffic will come. And these domain citations are about as permanent as you can get.

Regards,
Jan Gregory

EDIT: I see that this Thread was split between backlinking concerns and with webmasters"Does having noFollow links on my own website hurt SEO?"

Using the noFollow attribute within links on your own website will not effect your search engine rankings one bit. Nada effect on your site, except with your internal linkages... its for guiding the SE robots through your site pages. The original intention was to allow webmasters to stop the bots going to privacy, contact and other non-content pages.

Google expanded the value in the organic algorithms to remove all link juice from external links. Its a freebie for them to combat link spam. That's why they did this.

  Well I think you have got the answer now how to display the nofollow and the dofollow links. If you have not then I can give you two options...
  
  1) Nodofollow Addon for firefox
  Here Nofollow links are red and dofollow links are blue, when the addon is activated by right clicking and selecting the nodofollow option.
  
  2) Seo for Firefox
  Here Nofollow links are crossed with a line in between the text and dofollow links are kept as they appear in normal way. To activate this addon just click on the SQ maked spot on top of browser near the search box of the browser.
  
  And speaking about no follow and dofollow links they are both the same almost, only nofollow links are not crawled by the Google spider, but they do give you traffic. So building of nofollow and dofollow both are equally important to your website. And I also have read an article where Matt Cutts say that- "A link is a link no matter it is dofollow or nofollow."

Yes, no link value if you get any link from no-follow attributes. You can check simply from view-source of that page, just find no-follow. Besides you can install Add-ons 'search status' and activate 'Highlights no-follow links' but this add-ons only work in Firefox.

Do-follow blogs or do-follow backlinks are very important as google gives weightage, which helps to improve the ranking. No-follow links are not consider by google. No-follow links are not harmful to your site. In other search engine point of view these type of links are same value as do-follow.

Debate over Do- follow and No-follow is never ending but what we should understand is the balance we need to maintain in our website while doing link building. Do follow help to get a good back links on a website but more of it will make search engine suspicious about your SEO practices. Thus no follow is also essential as it keep our link building strategies balanced and helps to get good ranking over the long run.

Your question is how to know that the website is Nofollow or Dofollow.

If you are using fire fox then install Addon "search status " with help of this you can easily know. Other option is you can see source code also for finding Nofollow tag.

Don't avoid no follow links completely. Both do follow and no follow links are important in the search engine optimization.

Not sure if anyone said this already-dont want to look through every single post-but SEO Moz does a great job of showing do follow and no follow. However, you should also know that no follow links are still valuable. For example, take a no follow link you found from seo moz and see if it shows up in webmaster tools. (it will show up) so next time you think no follow doesnt mean anything-it has some relevance.

{{ DiscussionBoard.errors[7280993].message }}

To determine do follow links is quite simple. All you need to know is to scan through the source code of the page you are trying to check ( right click on the page and then go to 'page source') Alternatively, you can also find the source code on the 'view' menu. If you find 'nofollow' then, it's obvious that page is programmed to be have 'no follow' links.

{{ DiscussionBoard.errors[7341212].message }}

Its very simple. Go to the source page and find "nofollow". If it is present then that link is nofollow. But don't completely avoid nofollow links. They are very useful in generating traffic to your website.

First of all , I want tell you one thing that if you doing blog commenting in " do follow" then it will be really very tough. That you have to check manually as well. For that you should use firefox and add "add on" , for that you can easily judge the particular blogs or website weather it is do follow or no follow.
I even found one thing that you can search " Do follow blog" in Google search like Do follow blogs search Engine. I didn't try yet, but I think you should try it as well.

As nofollow blog still be helpful to get the more traffic to the site and due to more traffic with the quality content , you will get more people engage with you and this engagement indirectly be affected to the pagerank. So do not avoid nofollow blog just because they do not pass on the pagerank value.

Yes, so many websites/blogs are there that allow users to post comments. Most of them are nofollow also for spam protection issue. Posting your valuable comments over there can help you really to get number of good visitors to your website.

Nofollow links don't pass pagerank (and that about it) - it doesn't mean that they are not good links to have or that they are completely invisible to Google.

I would definitely do with a mixture of both, especially if the site is an authority in your niche and you are looking to establish thematic relevance.

Aside from Google, Yahoo & Bing don't respect the nofollow attribute, AFAIK, so while they may not account for much traffic, they should not be completely ignored. And if the links have the potential to generate direct traffic, then that is important as well.

IMO, There's reason at all not to include nofollow links in your backlink portfolio.

At the very least they'll give you some diversity.

Never doubt the power of a nofollow link. The search engines rules and ways of determining if you are relevant or not change all the time. So if it is not too time consuming creating the diversity does not sound so bad in the grand scheme of things.

Some people rank for the moment and some rank forever. I like to keep an eye on the long term more than the short term.

While I agree with the general sentiment on this thread that no follow links are not something you should avoid just because they're no follow. Developing your online presence on relevant, quality blogs and other sites can be a great part of marketing. Actually, it's really one of the more enjoyable parts of the whole process...getting to know other like-minded individuals.

That being said, SEOmoz provides a great page ranking tool that has a neat feature you can just turn off and on at will. It will highlight all do follow or no follow links on every page as you go. It saves a lot of time and you know right away what to expect on that site. It may be part of the Pro version only, though.

If want to know link or website is Dofollow or not, open the site select link, right click on it, select option view source. It will be open in html rag. If it has a attribute of rel="nofollow" in <a> tag then it is nofollow link. And another way to check it is Nofollow link also display in pink background.

There is a free tool that will help you do this very, very easily. It is called SEO for Firefox. Go here to download it now: SEO for Firefox Extension: Free SEO Toolbar Firefox Browser Plugin (Note: be sure to have Mozilla Firefox installed first)

Then, once it is installed on your Firefox browser, right click on the SEO icon in the lower right hand corner of your screen, and select "Highlight NoFollow Links". Now, when you want to leave your anchor text backlink on a web page, you will be able to check if the backlink that you leave will be DoFollow or NoFollow (highlighted in Red).

NoFollow is not always a bad thing, sites like Yahoo Answers and YouTube give back nofollow links that have no affect on your rankings, but you can still greatly benefit from them. I agree with most here, use Firefox with SEO extension nofollow add on.

This is the best idea to get backlinks from other highly rated pages.Even all the backlink generator or seller pages you found over the internet follow this technique to sell backlinks.But the main thing is that you have to find out whether the blog you are commenting is do-follow or not since backlinks from commenting are possible if only the blog allows do-follow.And for this you have the do little tricks.those are easy but need some effort too.

Officially Matt Cutts says that no follow do not count in passing on page rank and link juice so no it would not help. Now, is this true? probably so but I believe that having no follow as well is a natural part so to look more natural it would help with some no follow as well.

I don't agree at all.

Just an example, what happens if your site goes "viral" and starts generating thousands of backlinks a day? Plenty of those are going to be nofollow. Google is not going to penalize you just because you've got nofollow links.

There is so much misinformation. Even google is pretty vague about what they do with them.

How does Google handle nofollowed links?

In general, we don't follow them. This means that Google does not transfer PageRank or anchor text across these links. Essentially, using nofollow causes us to drop the target links from our overall graph of the web. However, the target pages may still appear in our index if other sites link to them without using nofollow, or if the URLs are submitted to Google in a Sitemap. Also, it's important to note that other search engines may handle nofollow in slightly different ways.

In General??

Also a no-follow link on a page can be indexed or picked up by other sites, and in turn picked up by google. Take wikipedia for example (As mentioned previously), I have links that although no follow have then been picked up by othersites in their content which don't have the no-follow attribute on the link.

Either way, too much weight can be put on this and devalue your whole link building strategy. Perhaps google doesn't transfer pagerank or anchor text across these links and it is clear that google is aware that these links are there, but I doubt they are going to disclose how they use this information.

I have written Three Posts on my Blog about dofollow and no follow. There is some great tools that you can get for free to help you find do follow blogs.

All links are good though some carry a lot more weight with the search engines.

One other thing that you can look for is called Commentluv. This gives you a direct link to your last blog post on the site that you are commenting on.

I personaly have both the do follow and comment love on my blog. But then I believe that we should all be helping each other to succeed.

I hope this helps.

You will need to copy and paste, as I don't have enough posts yet to put in the links. lol

Well, they're still links. But I see your point. There's always a heavy debate on if "nofollow" backlinks actually do much of anything. I've stopped worrying about it and will take most any backlink I can get. Nofollow or dofollow. Obviously I'd much prefer dofollow links, but I won't turn others down.

Some nofollow links can still generate some traffic themselves. So they're not entirely useless.

This is so bad that you got all no-follow links and it is also true that no-follow links doesn't pass any link juice to other website. There are some websites that have good authority in Google and parsing no-follow links, but linking onto those websites may produce good traffic. Experts say that you should have the ratio of 3:7 link, i.e. 3 no-follow links and 7 do-follow links. If you got all do-follow links, Search Engine will consider it spam, might be you won't get what you want.

As per me nofollow has link power. Now you think in what way. Then nofollow links be helpful for driving traffic to your site though it can not pass on link juice for your site. But indireclty when you get traffic for your site, then with the particular link you get content also and if that content is from high pr and authorised then it definitely be helpful for your site ranking due to unique content for your visitor and this indirect way you can get better result of your site.

And it's one of my favorite ways to get high quality backlinks. A handful of PR1 or higher, dofollow backlinks is pretty powerful.

If you examine the page's source code (right click on most browsers) you should be able to see if existing links already have a rel=follow or rel=no follow thing. Sometimes you cannot see this if the site or blog is using complex javascript. But at any rate, just post your links, its never a total waste of time.

There are various ways to detect "Do Follow". Search with the term "Do Follow" or "No Follow" in their source code to check. In Firefox, there is an extension called 'SEOQUAKE' which can help you.

I have the following opinion about do follow and no follow link:-

1- Do follow links are extremely important as they pass trust and authority to your site.

2- No follow links are equally important as they tell search engines about the genuiness and popularity of your site.

There are many plug ins available in Firefox with the help of which you can check dofollow and nofollow links.

But, at the end of the day Google won't count them (no follows) for rankings so I wouldn't put much effort into no follows.

I'm not sure if I'd say they're equally important since they carry almost no weight. But if you're getting them from authority sites they can drive a pretty good amount of traffic themselves.

Gotta disagree here. I'd much rather have a tool instantly show the status of a link as opposed to having to dig through the source code.

Regardless if it's no-follow or not.... It's always good to mix them up as it helps to add link diversity to your backlink profile.

Before, those no-follow backlinks could actually bring up direct traffic... Especially if you make a QUALITY comment on a QUALITY Blog.

Just add the " nodofollow " addons for firefox. This will help to differentiate which is nofollow and dofollow. Otherwise right click the link --> properties. A pop-up window will show you the details of the links.

Right click the page and go to view source. Hit Ctrl+F and type in the link you are searching for. If you see a no follow tag (i.e. "rel="nofollow") then it is a nofollow link.

Ones check other comment link and if you are using firefox then just check page source(crt+u)... you may find <a href="nofollow" ......> so its nofollow link but keep doing it because now google also consider nofollow link for website popularity...

Dofollow blogs is important to get backlinks. Generally bloggers love to comment on dofollow blogs. They want to improve their sites backlinks by commenting on dofollow blogs.
But first you have to know the difinition of dofollow & nofollow.
Dofollow Blog:
A dofollow blog allows search engine spiders to crawl the site and follow the link. If you comment on a dofollow blog, a backlink will be created so search engine spiders will crawl your link back to your site & it brings SEO benefits for your site.

Nofollow Blog:
Nofollow blog is complete opposite of Dofollow blog. It doesn't allow search engine spiders to crawl site and follow the link. If you comment on a nofollow blog, search engine spiders will not crawl your link and will not follow your link back to your site & it brings no benefit on SEO for your site. So it is useless to comment on nofollow blogs.
If you build your site with wordpress you can easily make your site dofollow. You need to install a plugin - sem-dofollow.

This works OK. But you'll be excluding blogs that may still have comments as DoFollow, just other links as nofollow. All it takes is one instance of "nofollow" to exclude the URL.

I would say do follow or no follow does not make any difference. I won't consider it as a waste of time. People who come to read the blog often look at comments. If your comment stand out you will get traffic for free.
We spend time doing commenting then why not make use of it.

the simplest way to check if the blog site provides a nofloow link link is right click on on the blog page you want to comment, click on the "view source code tab and then when the source code opens up in a new tab press "ctrlF" and then enter the link you inserted in your blog comment and then you'll see whether your link is nofollow or dofollow.

To check Do-Follow site you have to install a firefox plugins, Named "noDoFollow"
Got to your firefox tools and click on add-ons, Search for the said Plagun and Install. Now Restart your browser.
Now go to any blog and click right button of your mouse and select "noDoFollow" now you will see every links are marked by light blue and red color.
Blues are Dofollow link and Reds are Nofollow.

I think you will underestand.
Best of Luck.

Use SEOquake plugin, available both in chrome and mozilla. Enable the plugin by clicking on it. When you'll load a webpage, for nofollow it'll create cutoff line in links. That means it is a nofollow site or where you want to add link.

No-follow are a MUST in any link bulding campaign. Personally I don't really care about follow or nofollow links just like I don't give a **** about keyword density, my general rule of thumb is look natural and you'll be good to go. Natural backlinks profile is probably the most important factor to look at if you want to avoid getting penalized in a few months by a Google update...

SEO Quake is a good one for firefox users. Nofollow backlinks are not useless as many people would make us belief. In no way, they can harm your site. Even though it's a debatable issue regarding SEO benefits, you can still get traffic if you have a link at any good site.

This sense is not true.For natural link building you have to built those do-follow/no-follow back link.i make it clear.matt cutts said google doesn't give any value of no-follow.and other thing is back link from social media affect ranking stuff.but maximum backlink from social media are no-follow.So how do you treat it?

Another lighter plugin than SEOQuake for Chrome lovers out there is, 'iSEO' - This also highlights and helps you check nofollow links instantly as well as OBL per page.

But from an SEO point-of-view, I think nofollow links are very valuable and they matter just as much as dofollow links do because it makes our campaign looks natural.
