Here is a screenshot of what it looks like when activated (Thanks, Matt Cutts. I knew I would find some nofollow links on your blog):

POST UPDATE: here’s the link to the article by Google I based this post on: About rel=”nofollow”
If I missed anything in the article or you have any other ideas please feel free to share and comment, I want to get to the truth on this topic, because its a bit confusing. I will be updating this post if any new changes show up.

 

Hey there guys, I came across today’s topic as I was searching of ways to improve Google page ranks for my blog and I came across the title “NoDoFollow”.

Basically, one of the ways that Googles search engine can rank you higher, is by testing the “QUALITY” of sites that link to your own site.
If those sites are respectable and filled with heavy traffic and rank high in Googles search engine, your website, from a search engine point of view, would look more important and respectable and thus you get some bonus page rank points by the engine.
The problem is that if your own site isn’t high on traffic and another popular site linked to yours, that popular site might get hurt by losing some page rank points since its linking to your low traffic site, which is why a lot of webmasters do not like Googles search engine following links that are being put on their sites through for example comments by other people.

To stop search engines from following those links, they add the HTML Code  rel=”nofollow” on those links. When Googles search engine see that code, it know it have to stop and not follow the link to that site and thus your own site gets nothing.
Despite all this, there still some webmasters that are nice enough to not put this code in their pages in order to help their readers and also that way they get more people to comment and interact on their blog and even though their blog or websites page rank might get hurt, they’re willing to sacrifice this so that their readers can benefit from their ranks.

By the way rel=”nofollow” is automatically inserted within the WordPress coding unless you remove it.
The biggest question is: Is there a fast easy way to identify pages that have  rel=”nofollow” and pages the don’t? because normally you would have to check the webmasters coding in order to know whether this page is using rel=”nofollow” or not.

The answer is simple by installing a “Mozilla FireFox” Plug-in “NoDoFollow” that when you right click with the mouse anywhere on the page, will display an additional option titled “NoDoFollow” and when you click that option 2 things will happen.
You will see all the links that are  rel=”nofollow” highlighted on the page in a red color and you will see any links with “DoFollow” highlighted in  light blue.
Using this click of a button plug-in you will be able to easily identify blogs/websites that you would want to comment on or not.

I’m not saying don’t comment on blogs that don’t allow “DoFollow” because remember if your a new webmaster you need to build friends and on top of that, even if the link to you is a “nofollow” you will still be able to get some traffic when someone clicks on your name.
This plug-in is just to help you faster identify both types of links. I’ve been using it for a few hours so far and its pretty cool.
