How to find the number of DoFollow links on the homepage

[salvyy]

Dear SEOmozzers,

I just have a quick question. Can you please tell me how I can find out how many DoFollow links I have on the page of a site? I did a link exchange with a person who claims that she found 50+ DoFollow links on my homepage. How did she do that? What tool did she use to find out the number of DoFollow links on my homepage?

Thank you.

One of the tools I use is seoquake.  However, I turn off every feature except the "strike-through no follow and no-index."  That way I can just quick glance at a page to see what kind of links are on there.

Also, hopefully you aren't just exchanging links to improve your link total.

I used different tools for that, but just yesterday I installed SeoMoz Toolbar and it's very nice. You just click the type of link you want to see when you are on homepage and it highlights it.

Good luck

Hi Journeyman,

Thank you for the reply. One question I'd like to ask: is it bad to exchange links? The fact is that I have been offered a decent amount to show three links on my homepage. It's the only three links I am selling. I know that Google is against the sale of links, but do you think that only external three links on the homepage will signal Google that I have sold links?

Thank you and have a fantastic day.
