Follow tag is showing no follow in site explorer

TvishaTechnologies

I have a link which is showing tag as a follow but in Moz site explorer is showing no follow link

Could anyone here tell why this is happening

Hey,

Would you be able to reach out to us at help@moz.com so we can take a closer look at your question.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi Tvisha.

Interesting question and very weird all round, hopefully Eli and the team can get to the bottom of it.

Few observations from me (Troop Messenger):

I agree, my Link Explorer also has it marked as no-follow. Curiously using the Moz Toolbar, the highlight follow link doesn't work for me. Neither does highlight no-follow links. Only one which works is the external link
Inspecting the line of code rel="follow" isn't actually a valid property as far as I'm aware: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/96569?hl=en Perhaps this could be confusing Roger?

Quite far-fetched but the only wild theory I have. Or perhaps it was no-followed when Moz originally crawled it and the links have since changed.

Hope you get to the bottom of if, it's a weird anomaly!
