HOW TO: Check Whether A Blog Is Do Follow Or Not

This article is for bloggers who wants to check whether their blog is do follow or not and also to check whether someone’s blog is do follow or not. But I mainly check for the latter purpose ! ๐Ÿ˜› Recently to my dismay, I found many blogs no follow, but they claim themselves do follow ! This article will be useful for everyone to identify who is loyal and who is running a Do Follow Blog.

Easy Way For Checking Whether A Blog is Do Follow Or Not

Suppose if you want to check whether this blog is Do Follow or not ! ๐Ÿ˜› Do the following…

Open any article. Then Go to View | Source from your browser.

Then use the Find or Search function and find whether it has rel=โ€™externalโ€™ term near to any comment. If it is present there, then that indicates my blog is a do follow blog ! ๐Ÿ˜‰

If ย you find this term rel=โ€™external nofollowโ€™ or rel=’nofollow’ , this indicates that a blog is no-follow.

These two screenshots will help you to understand more easily. First one is from HellBound Bloggers and the next one is from some other No Follow blog. Let it be X blog.

  4. A link is still a link even if it's Do Follow or Not, though the link juice or PR is not passed on and it will also provide some amount of traffic to your site for free. Moreover it is better to have have a mixture of both 'Do Follow' and 'No Follow' links to your site than just 'Do follow' links. So it's not a good idea to fully discount the value of a No Follow link.
