hey guys,
how do you tell if a link is a do follow one? is there a quick way to do this?
thanks a lot in advance:)
There is no such thing as “do follow”, only the absense of a “nofollow” relationship.
<a href=“http://www.example.com” rel=“nofollow”>link text</a>
If you don’t see that, then it’s not “nofollow”.
The only time you should ever have to think about this is in when building your own website that contains user-generated content, like blog comments, that are being spammed.
Install the 'SEO for Firefox’ plugin and tell it to highlight ‘nofollow’ links on pages you visit.

<a rel=“nofollow”

So even as a marketing guru you’re not an advocate of ‘scratch my back I’ll scratch yours’ link building techniques? I leave an approval worthy useful & relevant comment for the context relevant backlink, the blog owner gets a blog that looks like it actually gets visitors and a stimulating conversation on a comments thread… everyone is happy. I rarely do it, I think there are more effective ways to build links, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it as long as you’re not a one line wonder.
Blog that genuinely don’t need to encourage comments because they’re so busy anyway are always nofollow so it’s moot with them.
I mean that going around the web examining bookmarking sites for “nofollow” to dump your links isn’t real link building. The links that count are the ones other people create, not the ones you create. If you’re spending your days creating the links, you’re spending your time on the wrong things.
The whole idea behind PR is based on academic citations – that a document has more value if other experts are citing it in their documents. It’s other people making an evaluation of the quality of your work that provides the indicator to the algorithm. When you go around citing your own work, you’re not telling the system anything useful, so those citations should be ignored.
I don’t chase high-work short-term gains for SEO. I have #1 search ranks for some terms with good volume that I’ve held the #1 spot in for nearly as long as Google has existed. My newest website is only a few months old and #3 for its main keyword. I don’t write blog comments with its URL, submit it to social bookmarking sites, or link to it in forums. I do produce substantial original content (published on my sites, not article directories), and make sure customers are happy so that they’ll want to talk about the products on their sites. They do every day – I subscribe to Google Alerts for my site names to read about it each morning.
Hello, someone mentioned the SEO quake plug in but there is also a NoDoFollow plugin for Firefox that when turned on, will highlight the links you can gain back-links from. Hope that helps.
There is a FireFox addon : Quirk SearchStatus and I find it good.
Quirk SearchStatus

This does highlight the nofollow links.
Cheers
you can find a plugin named “no dofollow” on addons.When you use it, you can know which link is do follow.
All true, but just so you know, I’m a website developer and SEO so I do a know a little about backlinks and how they work. I’m well aware that links you can easily create yourself don’t have anything like the weight of a properly ‘earned’ backlink but they still add to your relevance for a search term and can be a good way to kickstart the process of backlink acquisition and start you ranking for the targeted keyword phrase.
I always do the free directory, blog comment link thing when I launch a new site (google expect us to promote our own sites so I can think of no reason why they would penalise you for creating your own links, much more likely that they’ll just drop those links from their link graph if they think they’re spammy) but my view on link acquisition is that ultimately you have to be providing something that people want to link to because it’s useful to earn those proper links and I always try to get my SEO clients to produce a resource that I can use to get them some proper links and create some site authority.
If you using firefox as web browser use search status addon. And enable the highlight nofollow links check box.
open a certain site then press ctrl+u for the page source then press f3 type in rel=“dofollow” if you don’t find one it is automatically do follow while no follow can easily be seen like this rel=“nofollow”
Aside seo for firefox, there is an addon named “Nodofollow” it highlights nofollow links on red.
