How To Check Dofollow Or Nofollow Blog

Last updated on
Posted on

How you can detect if a blog is a dofollow or nofollow by checking the links of a wordpress blog.

WordPress blog is a nofollow blog by default. I am sure there are pros and contras out there, and it’s really up to you whether you want to make your blog dofollow or leave it as a nofollow blog. But most of the times, when you are commenting or leaving a link in a blog or website, you also want to know if the blog dofollow. I have posted about what dofollow blogs are in this page.


Actually having links in a dofollow higher page rank blog, will help your blog to rank higher too. That’s why people tend to comment regularly in a high PR dofollow blog.

And if you don’t know which blogs are dofollow and which aren’t, you can easily check the code source or using firefox addons (i am a firefox user).

This is the steps to detect dofollow or nofollow blog:

1. Select the link, right click, and in your browser page’s option, select “View Selection Source”.

Select the link, right click.

2. In the page source, you will see “nofollow” attribute, the code will be similar to this following:
<a href="http://www.yourblog.com" rel="external nofollow">yourlink</a>

The other way is installing SEOquake firefox addon, and whenever you want to check a link, right click the addon icon in the right bottom of your screen and select “highlight nofollow links”. The result will be red highlighted links, those are nofollow links.

Using SEO quake addon.

    Nice tutorial Kim 🙂

    Another great addon for firefox is the firebug addon at http://getfirebug.com

    It allows you to inspect various elements of sites including html, javascript and css

      @Robyn from Sam’s Web Guide, Thank you for the great input. I absolutely agree with you, firebug is my most favorite firefox plugin.

      Thanks for commenting.

    i really didn’t know that my blog was set on NoFollow on default. i just found out a few days ago and i was still thinking if i should go ahead and remove it or what. but i made my decision. i’m removing it and i’ll be officially a do-follow blog in a couple of minutes.

    • Kimi says

      @Vector Graphics, Hey there

      Having do-follow blogs give you advantage to encourage more discussion, because other than commenting people also like to seek for free backlinks by commenting.

      Good luck with your blog!

  3. Kevin the 203k loan guy says

    I’ve just recently started my blog as well with WordPress. This article is very helpful as I’m looking to comment and get the do follow backlink. I’ve just installed the Do Follow and Link Love plugins to WordPress to cancel out the default no follow and reward the commenter with a do follow link, I hope it works!

  5. Vic Singh says

    I’m a newbie to this. I paid for some links then learned about the “nofollow” issue. Now I’m checking their page source and around my link it doesn’t say “nofollow” anywhere but it does so elsewhere on the page.

    Even if it is anywhere on the page does that mean all the links on that page are “nofollow”? Or does it have to say that by your link in the page source? I’m not clear on this.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    • Kimi says

      Hello Vic,

      I don’t really understand what your question is.

      If the page source displays rel="nofollow" next to your site’s link then it is nofollow.

      It goes otherwise, if the other links dofollow, then some links are dofollow 🙂

      With a demo site or the site’s link that you refers, it is more easy to investigate.

      I hope this helps.

    PageRank is an algorithim google invented that assesses the strength of a website. The algorithim evaluates a site on a scale of n/a to 10 with 0 being the lowest/weakest and 10 being the highest/strongest. We can check our site’s rank by using a checker pagerank tool.

  8. NoBlogNameOnly@eGrove Staffing says

    this is helpful to know about the difference between the two dofollow and the nofollow. and i wanna know that your site too the nofollow word is comming in the source option.

    so i wanna know the real fact about the dofollow and nofollow details.

  11. Someone@Love Forums says

    This info was useful to me as I did not know about nofollow vs. dofollow. I probably have alot of useless links 🙂

    • Kimi says

      Hi there,

      Nofollow links are not useless, especially if this link is in high traffic blog or websites, though it does not count in SEO, but people might click the link to your site and you get more traffic 😉

      Keep on building links,

      Kimi.

  16. Artur Pinto says

    This was a great help. Thanks. i was having dificulties understanding some links and why they were not sending juice to my home page, now I can see why.

    • Kimi says

      Hi Himu,

      You can edit the “html” source and add this code: rel=”nofollow”

      This will create a nofollow link..

      Hope this helps.

    Actually for every online business, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the core mantra of success in the business. It is the process by which a search engine optimizer brings a business website to rank highly among major search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. The process of SEO is very beneficial to drive more and more traffic to a website and that turns in to revenue. Unique content, relevant keywords and link popularity are the major factors to provide high rank in any search engine.

    hey there..

    This is the first page I found when I searched for “how to check for do-follow blog” on Google.

    The information is quite correct and I will now use it before posting a comment on any blog.

    Thanks.

  57. Alex says

    I use chrome’s developer extension to check what sort of links they are, and iSEO for chrome to see what PR gets passed. Really though I don’t think it matters too much.

  58. sophia453 says

    Yes! Its true that SEO is the biggest source of income as well as it is the another way to enlarge a Web site’s traffic counts, and eventually conversions, by position very high in the results of searches for the keywords in the search query. It is the mission of SEO to make the site’s content worthy of higher search engine ranking by being more relevant and competent than the competition’s.
    Thank you for sharing with us. Keep it up
