How accurate is the MozBar "Followed Link Highlighter"

[SheffieldMarketing]

I'm currently doing some research on blogs to guest post on and I want to make sure they are providing DoFollow links out.

are the green links displayed from the MozBar simply links that don't contain the HTML element "NOFOLLOW" or is it more in depth tan that?

according to this article there are TONS of different ways that people can place a NOFOLLOW link on their site http://www.searchenginepeople.com/blog/identify-nofollow-juiceless-links-guide.html

If it link is a direct link to your site (view source and make sure its ), then only the top 3 points are taken into consideration if its nofollow or not.

MozBar takes all 3 into consideration (tested it on a site I have noindex in robots.txt on, assuming it checks for the meta tag and definitely checks for nofollow attribute).
