I am getting links on people's wordpress blogs but are not showing up on the just discovered tool. Is it true that wordpress links are no-follow links that do give off any link-juice?

A blogger told me that "wordpress.com does not allow blogs to show advertisements or use links to sites that sell merchandise of any kind" is this true? Am i wasting my outreach time trying to get links from wordpress operated blogs?

A webmaster can remove the nofollow from wordpress; most blogs have dofollow comments in order to get as many comments as possible.

Try to do a right click on a page / view page source / CTRL+F (find) then type nofollow to see it.

You can also use a navigator addon like NoDoFollow on Firefox.

MajesticSEO is good to have a second opinion on your netlinking and check all the nofollow links.

Please note that a natural link profile has dofollow AND nofollow links :).

if you are talking about WordPress.com as opposed to WordPress.org meaning self hosted word press verse  free/$17 a year with domain WordPress.

I believe that is true they do not want you using their network  however for $30 a year you can use advertisements on your website with WordPress.com

as far as redirects go they're all answered right here.
