How to Manually Check if Link is Follow or No Follow?

[Clicksjim]

So I just got the link - yippee! When I look at the source code href line with my url I don't see the term 'no follow'. Does this mean I have a followed link?

Hi Clicksjim,

As long as you don't see a rel="no follow" attached to the link then it should be followed by search engines, therefore passing value.

As an extra minor detail, you might also want to check that the page hasn't been blocked by robots.txt

Hope that helps,

Adam.

Sure does.

If you install the Mozbar to your browser as well, it comes with an option to highlight follow and no-follow links on the page.

You can find Chrome and Firefox downloads for it here.
