This is one thing that you as webmaster need to know. I am sharing this topic just for beginner webmasters like me. I know that the advanced level of webmasters already know regarding this topic. Why we need to check dofollow or nofollow link in website or blog , because this is to make sure your blog reach backlink with dofollow link.

As we know, Google mentions your backlink value if your website or blog got a dofollow link from other website or blog. Good backlink is good for your pagerank. I hope after you know how to check do follow link, you can easily work with link building to your blog or website.

Okay, actually this is a simple way. You can check the dofollow link by two ways:
1. Checking source code
Views the source code, then search if no follow attribute presence or not. Press ctrl+U to bring up the source code. Then press ctrl+F and search for the word “nofollow”. If it appears then the links on the page is no follow. However, there has to be a comment on the page already to show up in the source code as no follow or not.

2. Using Firefox extension that highlights NoFollow links (this my favorite)
It was simple. Run your firefox browser then install nodofollow extension. Download it then check if the links are in pink then its nofollow if it’s in blue so its do follow that’s the easier way for me. Check how does it work and Download NoDoFollow Here

Hope this posting helping you to do link building by blog commenting with dofollow in comment field for your blog.

This tips only for blog that used the wordpress.org platform. Like us knew rel-dofollow inside blog will be regarded as backlink by search engine. But in the Wordpress comment field was used NoFollow as default. We can change to DoFollow by using DoFollow plugin, unfortunately because several bugs certain, recommended to change them with manual method.

Below the step of manual method :

Step 1: To change Comment Author link became DoFollow
Open your wp-includes folder then open comment-template.php file. Find the code along with:

$return = “<a href=’$url’ rel=’external nofollow’>$author</a>”;

Delete the word “nofollow” , so that code will be like this :

$return = “<a href=’$url’ rel=’external’>$author</a>”;

Step 2: To change Comment Field link became DoFollow
Open your wp-includes folder then open default-filters.php file. Find the code along with:

add_filter(’pre_comment_content’, ‘wp_rel_nofollow’, 15);

Added // in front of that code , so will be like this :

//add_filter(’pre_comment_content’, ‘wp_rel_nofollow’, 15);

Done, your blog comment field already DoFollow now. One more thing, do not forget to activated your akismet plugin before doing all kind above. What is the benefit of using DoFollow in comment field? Please check, Mike sharing about it. Thanks Mike.
