How Do I Know if A Blog is Do-Follow?
Filed Under Do-Follow Info
You may be wondering if your blog is setup to do-follow, by disabling the nofollow attribute. Or, you may want to comment on a blog but you aren’t sure whether they are do-follow or not.
If you have your own hosted Wordpress blog, and you have not installed a plugin to disable nofollow, then chances are very good that your blog is NOT do-follow.
If someone else installed your blog, or you just want to verify that your blog is nofollow, if you are wanting to determine if a blog is do-follow, there are a couple of ways to check.
Remember, do-follow blogs really refer to the comments left on the blog. So you need to check the comments on a post to determine if the blog is using the html nofollow attribute.
The easiest, and quickest way to check do-follow, is by using either the Firefox, or Flock browser and the SEO for Firefox extension.
If you’re not using the Firefox browser, or the Flock browser, I need to ask you why you’re not using one of those browsers? It’s probably just because Microsoft Internet Explorer was installed on your computer and you don’t know what your missing.
The Firefox and Flock browsers are much better than Internet Explorer (IE). If you are doing any sort of social marketing, you really need to check out the Flock browser.
If you are using IE, I’ll explain how to determine if a blog is do-follow or not later on. Right now, let’s talk about using Firefox and Flock.
If you don’t already have it, install the SEO for Firefox extension – get the extension here. It also works on the Flock browser.

After you have installed SEO for Firefox extension, you will see it at the bottom of your browser. You can turn the extension on and off, but clicking the SEO at the bottom of the browser – it toggles on and off.
Now, when the extension is turned on all nofollow links are highlighted with a red background.

So, when you go to a blog, or go to your blog, you can see whether a blog is nofollow or do-follow. Look for a post with comments already posted. Go to those comments, or to the blog post page. If none of your blog posts have comments, you will need to create a comment.
Scroll down to the comments. If you see red background on the comment name, the blog comments are nofollow.

If you are using Internet Explorer, go to a post with comments. When you are on the page with comments. right click your mouse and choose “View Source”. This will open the html code in note pad. Then select search and type in a term in one of the comments, to easily find a comment.
You will see something like the text below. Notice the rel=’external nofollow’, this indicates the blog is no-follow.
================================
<li class=”alt” id=”comment-10″>
<a href=’http://followlist.com’ rel=’external nofollow’ onclick=”javascript:urchinTracker(’/outbound/followlist.com?ref=/blog/’);”> Mike’s Do-Follow Blog List</a> on
June 16th, 2008 2:43 pm
<div class=”commenttext”>
<p>This is a test</p>
</div>
</li>
================================
If the blog were do-follow it would probably be rel=’external’. Notice the nofollow tag has been removed.
That’s how you determine if a blog is do-follow or not.
An easier way to find Do-Follow blogs related to your blog topic, would be to help me build the Do-Follow Blog Directory
If you have questions about dofollow versus nofollow blogs, leave comments and I will attempt to answer every one of them.

[...] I have a new blog dedicated to dofollow blogs, what dofollow blogs are, and how to identify dofollow blogs. [...]
I love the seo for Firefox plugin, but sometimes I will double check by checking the source of the code, using the shortcut ctrl + u (on Firefox), and then I use ctrl + f , which is the find function, and I find the the name that the person left for comments. I double check because sometimes the link url might be stuffed with alot of irrelevant code, and depending on that, it may make the link not worth as much.
Hi Mike,
Well, I guess you learn something new every day.
I’ve been using the SEO add on for quite a while, and never knew why things were lit up in red. Now I know.
Thanks for the tip!
Mike

I think the best and most effective way of finding out if a blog is dofollow is to look at the red strip that appears on the link with the SEO for firefox extension. Download SEO for firefox, it will make your life a lot easier, and a lot more fun.
@PPC Marketing Dublin,
I agree, the SEO Firefox extension is great for that.
If you are marketing on the internet, you really need to use Firefox, or Flock as your web browser. They are sooo much better than Internet Explorer.
I just learned about Flock a few months ago. It’s very similar to Firefox and you can use most of the Firefox extensions, but it’s built for social marketing.
Here is a blog post I did about Flock.
Do follow is a great way to get more comments on your blog.I comment on all related blogs to mine.People will visit if the comment is good enough.
Thanks for a nice informative article here. and if you do reply to the comments then I would like to know more about do-follow comments. I have recently been hearing more about do-follow comments and learning a few tricks I have also learned how to build do-follow blogs list (supposedly, don’t have proven knowledge) which have PR in minutes. I have submitted my site listed in “website” to 5 do-follow blog posts but I don’t see anything significant (change or something w.r.t. traffic/pr ??) to my blog. What do I track ?? and how ??
Can you tell me what is it actually for (do-follow blog comments) and why people are mad about getting comments posted to do-follow blogs. Why it is so important and how to check if something is happening or not.
I have posted my real email address and you can send me a reply there if you can and in return I will post your blog to 50 PR blogs (do-follow) if you wish, for free
I want to learn as much as possible about posting do-follow blog comments. That’s how I got to your blog through google.
Once again three cheers to your article
I use SearchStatus Firefox SEO Toolbar Extension to highlight Nofollow links. It has other quick utilities which I use on a frequent basis (backlink checking, indexed pages checking, whois information, etc.) Well worth a check, not that Aaron Wall’s SEO extension is bad. I think SearchStatus may be all that a blogger may need.
Excellent ,Thank you.

nice
I used that SEO extension and i really work with it now.
But i am getting again problems.
That is even in this page i can see a lot of links which are highlighted.
Ex: Home link at the top,
And bottom wordPress, Blue zinfandel, brain Gardner.
Now i wanna know how can you say this blog (Follwlist.com) do-follow or no-follow.?
I am confused. I know this blog is do-follow but it shows some highlighted links……
Please tell what is the wrong?
Can we say whole blog is nofollow just because of we see highlighted links?
Marble,
Yes there are some links on this blog that are nofollow.
The links that you need to pay attention to on dofollow blogs are the comment links. If the comment links are dofollow, the blog is a dofollow blog and you get link love from the blog.
Hope that clarifies it.
Mike
I hope you are telling about this.
Out of 32 comments so far no one is nofollow (Not highlighted).
Is that why this is do-follow?
I got it like that…
I would like to make a do-follow community or something like that. Then we all can collect dofollow and page rank blogs.
Thanks
Thanks for the great tip, I wasn’t aware of that firefox extension. Used to have to view source and search for nofollow which was annoying.
Thanks for these wonderful tips.. I have already installed SEO addon for firefox and its working wonders for me.. thank you
but i found a blog where there is both the attributes EXTERNAL AND EXTERNAL NO FOLLOW
IS IT POSSIBLE HAVE BOTH AT THE SAMETIME FOR DIFFERENT COMMENTS.
This is an awesome post. I have been looking a bloggs all day to figure out the best way to find do follow without wasting too much time. This is a simple way I dont know why I didn’t think of it yet
thanks
Basically, the internet is one giant poll to Google, and each link counts as a vote. There are other factors that intefere, but we’ll keep it as is for simplicity’s sake. The more links you have, the more popular your site is – and that’s exactly what Google wants to find, the most popular/authorative sites on the web.
The NoFollow attribute tells Google, “Don’t count this link as a vote for this website”. Whilst Google might still crawl the website’s content, it definitely does not add any link-weight. Well done, you’ve now penalized both the legitimate commenters as well as the spammers. Makes sense.
I’ve made one of my blogs into a dofollow blog and here are my results (in comparison to a number of other, more popular, nofollow blogs that I own):
1. More comments.
2. Discussion. Because my links were carrying link-juice, and I was only accepting good quality comments, I ended up with proper, meaningful discussion that was pertinent to the article. I’m sure many of you bloggers only get spam and scraper comments
Great Post, I too spent a whole day, a few days ago, trying to figure out an easy way to find dofollow blogs. I was originally just looking at the source code for the blog post page to determine it’s link status, but that got tedious and I hate starting at code for extended periods of time. I tried the SEO extension for firefox and it’s great, love it.
I agree that if you are still using IE you should be forced to try Firefox, lol, especially if you are a marketer. You will never go back. I haven’t tried the Flock browser but it sounds good so I’ll give it a test run soon.
I have been using Fast Blog Finder the last few days to find and post comments to dofollow blogs. It seems to be a really nice tool. The Gold edition returns more results but the free version returns enough to get you going and on some searches it has returned pleanty.
I try to make it a habbit to post to some high PR nofollow blogs as well as dofollow ones. This keeps my backlinks more natural and keeps things more random. There is an argument that posting only to dofollow blogs could make “The Big G” think that your links aren’t totally natural, even if they really are. I don’t know if this is true or not but as a general rule just make sure your backlinking campaigns resemble natural linking and that your comments are meaningful and helpful and you shouldn’t have any problems. Thanks again.
This is a grate post. I have been looking for blogs which allow do follow links. Recently i have spent time commenting on blogs. i wish i stared early. Thank you for sharing this post with us.
I also use the great firefox plugin however i have noticed that it can be sometimes a bit inaccurate. To take extra precautions I usually check the source code by right clicking on the page and scrolling down to view source. This way i can see if the comments are do-follow or not.
Great post and keep it up.
This is a very cool find. I’m not sure I pay much attention (although I support dofollow). Perhaps I should start!
I had a difficult time early on learning the differences in do follow and don’t but through trial and error am pretty competent now. Is there a way to differentiate the unknown ones?
Yep , thank you for this post , that was exactly what i was looking for.I am using Firefox but i like to determine things out of the html code.First i thought the no follow/do follow is in connection with the robot.txt.But no chance, you helped me well, ‘external’ is the key word one have to focus on.
Cheers ! and thx once more
I also use the firefow plugin but I have also found it to be a little bit inaccurate but hey it is free so not really to bothered and not complaining

Hey, thanks for the great post! I’ve been wondering now how to determine a blog is a dofollow or nofollow. I was thinking of buying a dofollow search software to determine that. But now I found your post and it can be done using Firefox tools with no extra cost.
nice informative post,can you write about blogger blogs and does this plug in work for all
The SEO tool for firefox has an option to highlight all links that are no follow. This really helps in figuring out if a link is do follow or not.
I agree that the Firefox and Flock browsers are much better than Internet Explorer (IE). When I was doing social marketing, I took your advice and checked out the Flock browser. Thanks for the tips!!!

Thanks for tips…I dont even know that wordpress comes with default no follow .. anyway changed the code..but I am having hard time with spammer ..even though I have did every possible think I can do
Beware of being dofollow on everything. I know it’s an exciting “movement” and all that but there is a reason Google penalizes too many outlinks and not enough backlinks. I used to be dofollow but learned the hard way. I was once a PR5, then a PR0, now I’ll take my PR2 and selective outlinking. Hopefully I’ll get back to where I once was now that I’m more careful.Thanks for the article.
Great! Thank you very much for that great post. That will be much easier to find dofollow sites now.
Thanks!
Thats what we need. Thanks for your info.

I have really enjoyed your blog. Keep up the good work. Just added my bookmark
I’m not sure if the word “revealing” is the best one to use to describe your content. “Helpful” might be a start but I’d say “informative” would be a good label for this blog.
Obviously the blogs that are dofollow will have over 10 or more comments on their pages, while the nofollow sometimes not even 1 comment displayed.
Your are very right because Firefox and SEO for Firefox are best to determine that if a blog is do follow or no follow. If you would only have Internet Explorer then you can determine it either, Just install Seo Quake on internet explorer and it will do the same which SEO for firefox does for Firefox.
I’d be lost without do-follow blogs. Well, I’d be struggling with SEO, put it that way. I use Quirk SearchStatus firefox plugin – look it up.
I am confused. I know this blog is do-follow but it shows some highlighted links……
Please tell what is the wrong? I have little knowledge.
Thanks I have been searching for the answer about the difference between dofollow and nofollow.
Thanks for the article. I think I have the hang of do and nofollow now.
Acai, Where you saw those highlighted links? I can’t see them in any comments? I think that must indicator for something else.
You can also just right click on a comment link in Firefox and click Properties. One of the few things it says about the link is either “external” or “external nofollow.”
Shave a few seconds off of everyone’s SEO morning routine, yeah?
Just a word of warning to you guys – some sites have like a fake do follow plugin. It takes awhile for the plugin to detect the link on certain websites. It will appear to be do-follow for a few minutse. but if you let it sit, you will see it to be no-follow.
Woah, I didn’t know SEO for Firefox did that; but then, I did only stumble across seobook.com a few days ago =)
I’m a bit of a dofollow newbie so this blog post helps alot. I’ve also just realised I can right click a link, go to properties and Firefox will whether it’s external or external nofollow =)
I use Firefox’s DO FOLLOW plugin and it works like a charm. Another tip I can add to this excellent blog entry: make sure the main page of the blog has a Page Rank higher than 0.
I read through the comments to make sure this alternate method wasn’t already posted. I did not see it. So, the easiest way for me is to you the Firebug for Firefox. Once you have firebug installed, you can just right click on the link and select “inspect element” and look at the code.
You can also use Google Chrome for this as well without a plugin.
It’s really grate information about do follow and no follow thanks for sharing it with us.
Only if I had read this post before, I wouldn’t have wasted to much time posting on “no follow” sites. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to spam. But I do feel that If I’m going to write something good, I should receive some juice in return as well
I love my blog to be dofollow but by default WP makes it nofollow. I installed a plugin to make it dofollow. And another thing is blogger nofollow by default.
I support the dofollow movement. I use the NoDofollow Firefox add-on to check whether a blog is do follow or not that’s why I don’t use the latest Firefox because it doesn’t work on it. I’m currently regulating the dofollow link juice depending on the number of comments provided by a certain commenter, that’s when I lift the “no follow” so I use NoFollow Free plugin to do the job.
This is an excellent article. I have actually downloaded the plugin for Firefox and it really does help. Makes things a lot easier to find out what is a “do follow” and “no follow” blog.
Great applications indeed. I can’t believe it took me so much time to find them. Thanks for the links and reviews and do keep up the good work!
I am using Firefox Addon called “NoDoFollow” is very useful, it will show you blue colour highlight on those links with dofollow.
the simple and easiest way is to copy the link and right click on it and select view source selected, there you fine whether the link is dofollow or not but later it will annoy you and you feel it tiresome then you can use firefox plug in called search status. Search Status basically not only gives you the option where you can find whether the link is dofollow or not but also gives you PR feature, Alexa feature and many others. Check it out now.

If you have your own hosted Wordpress blog, and you have not installed a plugin to disable nofollow, then chances are very good that your blog is NOT do-follow.
very good.
I am using Firefox Addon and can detect do-follow n no follow
I prefer the search status firefox plugin
The toolbars are neat, but the chance of finding a dofollow blog is so remote. I just blew a few hours searching dofollow directories and bookmarked half a dozen to do comments on (like this one). Some of the bigger ones have a PR6 which is really impressive considering they have almost half a million comments.
I think the lost link power is a little overrated. It just seems such a waste of time to comment on nofollow blogs, the really big ones don’t even display a link, like Gawker ones, it’s just a link to your profile with them. Yeah, not spending time on nothing any longer.
installing search status and view the page code is the blog is do follow and no follow are both good and useful ideas but i am trying to search in google how to query do follow blogs..

You can used firefox plugin for that and also you can check it by webpage Source.
Yeah, lots of good SEO info. here, also another great do follow service is do follow diver. Works pretty slick.
Thanks for this info. I’m still using Explorer because it has always worked for me and I understand it. But you’ve convinced me to try Firefox against and to install the SEO for Firefox extension. Previously I’ve been checking for whether a blog is “nofollow” by clicking on “view”, then “view source”, and doing a search for “nofollow”. Cheers!
I agree this SEO firefox tool is really helpful to know that whether links are do follow or no follow.
there are many ways you can check about the blog is do follow or not, there are plug ins as well as a short way to select the click, right click on it and click on view link source then see in the selected text, here you can see whether the blog is do follow or not
the seo firefox extension is such a time saver, thanks for the explanation.
I am also taking advantage of dofollow blogs for the traffic of my site and SEO plugin is my favorite tool for this.
If you are marketing on the internet, you really need to use Firefox, or Flock as your web browser. They are sooo much better than Internet Explorer.
Thanks for the informative post, it would be easier for me to determine whether a blog is a do-follow or not to follow because I do the blog commenting all the time. It would be a time saver for me to use this, thanks for it!
“The easiest, and quickest way to check do-follow, is by using either the Firefox, or Flock browser and the SEO for Firefox extension.
If you’re not using the Firefox browser, or the Flock browser, I need to ask you why you’re not using one of those browsers”
Yes the best brownser for SEO purpose is Firefox, i never use flock because i always feel its more good for social network.
However, i don’t know my system problem with firefox, its always crash after few months, which usually make me more angry as i will loss all my bookmarks and all sorts.
I downloaded google chrome though its very fast but not so great for SEO purpose, so i went back to IE. I searched for how to differentiate nofollow links which lead me to this article.
This is a great useful article that worth bookmarking, thanks for seeing me through… i will download flock now and let you know what next
[...] Here are some ways to find out if the blog comment links are dofollow or nofollow. [...]
Great advice. I had already switched to firefox for the security of it, but now I have even more uses for it!
Hi, well if you want to know what is and isn’t do follow a good idea is to use the SEO quake tool, Google it. However I wonder if it has spy-ware in it as in my task manger I see multiple new processes running since I downloaded it….One thing I will note is it helps you find out a large amount of info about a site quickly.But make sure to turn off the “ad spy” feature, it will slow your browsing down noticeably.
there is a better plugin in my opinion its called NoDoFollow, it highlights all of the links and turn the ones red that are not follow links.
Thanks for your insight. I am using a plugin to find dofollow blogs and it is no dofollow 1.1. It’s a firefox plugin.
Thank you for this, I never knew about this SEO tool. This really should help because many blogs these days are nofollow.
Thanks
This SEO tool is new to me also. It sounds as though it will be quite helpful in locating “do follow” blogs. I am going to look into it as soon as possible. Thank you for the info.
(This entire blog is absolutely priceless. . .)
Thanks for this info. I will have to install Firefox so that I can check sites that I am commenting on to see if they are Do follow. I cant believe that someone would change it to No follow. That is just downright dispicable.
hey thanks for the info, I’ll take a look at my blog to see if I’s a “do-follow” link…
anyways regarding using “do-follow links” will it affect my pagerank negatively???

I cannot say thank you enough for this article. What I just read tonight has saved me hours of time trying to find out myself. I just installed SEO Quake and am starting to use it now. Good stuff
[...] How Do I Know if a Blog Is Do Follow? via DoFollow Blog Information [...]
you can find in Google for this keyword search
“Free do follow Blogs”
go to http://www.inlineseo.com/dofollowdiver and type in the search engine whatever category interested in and it will automatically search and list sites that are do-follow its simple as that!
I can highly recommend the Firefox plugin SEOQuake for this! It’s got an option with which you can automatically strikethrough every nofollow link on the page you’re visiting.
It’s a great tool. I can highly recommend it.
I am using this tool already. Almost all the firefox plugins are worth installing. They are actually designed to help all sorts of SEO work. I frequently use them for my job.
Thanks for showing me the right way to understand the strategy of nofollow and dofollow.
I installed the SEO for extension tool and don’t like what it does to my google search pages. It seems to add three or four lines worth of garbage under each entry.
Ahh perfect, an extension for Firefox. That’ll save me having to search through endless source codes. Cheers
Awesome tips, I was wondering how you find out if a blog is dofollow or nofollow
Disable unused services from the seoquake preferences menu. Otherwise it slows down your browser.
Interesting theory. You can also do it without firexfox or anything.
Use a desktop application like Jvw’s Dofollow blog finder software.

The article is very clear about do follow..

Ralph
I’m happy to read this article of your Mike.
. please…
I wish I have the capability to deliver what I have in mind the way you do it. Brief yet easy to understand.
Maybe next time you could write something on how do find dofollow blogs
Would be glad to drop by again.
Thanks for this post. I was very confused about all the no follow discussion swirling around the internet. I read something that made be think all blog comments were automatically becomming no follow…Well glad I was just paranoid!
Now to find some no follow blogs and check out the cool new tool I just downloaded.
when i need to check that which blog is do follow or no follow. I use to view source page and check for the no follow tag.. as like your 2 way.. but thanks for the first way for checking do follow links..
But never forgot, no follow also give you linkjuice! If you would only concentrate on do follow then you will be flagged by google really fast…
I guess it is time for me to begin using the Firefox browser so I can use this tool.
I’ve heard somewhere that youtube is now nofollow. Does that mean that If I create a video on youtube I won’t get a link credited to my main site?
I can also recommend do follow search engine.I want to learn as much as possible about posting do-follow blog comments…..Well good article..
I have been working on a GCSE that is supposed to find DoFollow blogs. So far, no success. It looks like your directory may be the only way at this point. If I find any, I will submit them. Thanks for the nice post.
Before reading this blog i used view source trick to know where the blog is doFollow and noFollow.But this blogs tell me more intelligent way to find out this. Thanks for this awesome post.
This is really helpful, now i know if a blog is dofollow or not.
I just started using SearchStatus myself, and so far, it looks great. Now if there was only some way to do a search for blogs that allow dofollow, instead of trying to sniff them out one at a time. I’ve seen a few lists out there, but many seems dated…
While i was searching do follow blog list i got this very useful post. Now i am really aware about “How to check Do follow Or No Follow Blogs.
Thanks for the Post
I have found several search engines for do follow blogs, but I did not get dofollow blogs. I think there is not any tool available for searching all dofollow blogs.
Thanks for the tips.
Do you use seoquake as well? If yes,no follow links are strikethroughed right?
One other question about facebook:I noticed links posted on news feeds are strikethroughed, i’m not surprised…but one point:links to youtube are NOT strikethroughed…someone can tell me more? thanks
Thanks for the tips on how to verify blogs are do follow. I just want to make sure I understand one thing.
I have seen blogs that have no red with SEO for Firefox where the title is, but I have seen red on links in the comments and on the reply.
I’m assuming these are good dofollow blogs since the title is dofollow.
There had been many ways to know if a blog is a do follow and this one had been an addition to that. I had known the no do follow tool before but the colors it gives is a distraction. Good thing there are tools such as SEO for Firefox, now that’s what I call innovation.
It is great that you are championing the cause of DoFollow the way that you are. The only way to get the luurve is to spread the luurve.
The more people are made aware as to the benefits of doing things the DoFollow way, the more buy in you will get, and maybe get WordPress to set the default to accommodate this need in future. Now that would be great!
Well there are hundred of tools now to determine that whether this blog is do-follow no-follow …..and of course u can check it manually as well …by selecting source of the that page …..view that comment and see if there is any no-follow attribute is there or not …..
Thanks!
I have recently been hearing more about do-follow comments and learning a few tricks I have also learned how to build do-follow blogs list (supposedly, don’t have proven knowledge) which have PR in minutes. I have submitted my site listed in “website” to 5 do-follow blog posts but I don’t see anything significant (change or something w.r.t. traffic/pr ??) to my blog. What do I track ?? and how ??
Why are people still worrying/bothering about “dofollow”. Who cares? You shouldn’t.
This is what I am looking for,Really great post.I downloaded seo extension for Firefox and using now .I have one more question raised in mind I am using SEO extension for Firefox an I not found any red square over your comment section on your blog is it mean your blog is do follow ?
Regards | Raso
It is good informative post.Me now downloaded Seo Addin for firefox and using this to do find blogs.I found your blog not showing red square on comment section that means it is do follow ?
This is a grate post. I have been looking for blogs which allow do follow links. Recently i have spent time commenting on blogs. i wish i stared early. Thank you for sharing this post with us.
This is really helpful for me. By the way, do you have a link for the SEO add on for firefox? Thanks a lot!
I always thought the default was do follow…. never knew :/
I have an electronic cigarette site and it seems to be doing well however will having my blog as do follow do anything for me really? Will it just attract spammers?
For the past 2 years, every time i wanted to know if a blog was dofollow i would check the source, but eventually i got tired of it. Than i found a firefox plugin called “nodofollow” that basically does the exact same thing the seo extension you recommend. It’s because of plugins like these that i made FIrefox my main browser.
I heard recently that if your blog isnt no-follow that Google will penalize you. Is this true? Also, I still feel Google gives something for no-follow backlinks.
There had been many ways to know if a blog is a do follow and this one had been an addition to that.
There are so many ways one can know whether the blog they are commeting on or posting articles on is dofollow or nofollow, firfox has a plug in called nodofollow, you can use that! Do-follow links turn purple while finding through No-dofollow add on of firefox!
anyone has a firefox or iexplorer plugin to check if a blog has comments turned do follow or nofollow?
Ya, it is really good information. I installed the seoBook toolbar as instructed but I check several non-follow blog but the toolbar is nothing suggested anything.. what the problem. can any other easy way to check out.

very informative blog describing how to find dofollow blogs.In my opinion better to use some goods tools which are available on internet. these tools highlight the nofollow links in a blog. Thanks for sharing the information.
I already knew how to classify the no follow and the do follow but this one’s still a new thing to me. This is great Online Tech Guy. By the way,I’m using two internet tools in determining a do follow and no follow blogs.
Hi, nice topic to blog with. Yes there is lot of add-on and tools available in order to find whether the link is “do-follow” or not. And I’m using “context menu for options” Firefox add-on for long time to find the type of link.
I use quirk’s search status and by just checking one single option. i know which of the links are do-follow and which are not. Btw thanks for posting such a useful article.
Great post. Helped me understand what do follow blogs and posts are.

Very nice article
Great post and very informative. After reading it decided to check my own blog to see what it is and I see the source code says “external nofollow’. Now I need to read more to see the benefits of making it a follow instead.
I read recently that removing nofollow on comment links is actually beneficial for blog owners these days because Google now uses the amount of activity your site generates in order to determine where it ranks in the search engines. Seems like removing the nofollow attribute would increase activity and really help blog owners out! Thanks for joining the dofollow movement!
I am using search status, to know a blog DoFollow or not
I had not understood the purpose of this article, but after a study it more deeply, I know now.
