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.

Add your Do-Follow Blog to my Do Follow Blog Directory!
[...] 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
This is a very cool find. I’m not sure I pay much attention (although I support dofollow). Perhaps I should start!

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.
