If a page is Unranked, nofollow isn’t going to matter anyway. You don’t get any credit for the link unless there are PR points to go around.

Every NYT article page I’ve seen is unranked. And in addition, some of the articles I’m seeing now are using nofollow; it seems inconsistent.

Wow – I’ve been using SEO for Firefox for a while, but didn’t realize it had this functionality. I’ve been doing the manual work of viewing source, ctrl F and typing in “nofollow” all this time. This will help!

Best way to see how much your links are worth and that is why I do it.

After I added no follows to my sites my traffic increased dramatically. Some of my sites were old and had collected outbound links for years. Just cleaning those up made a huge difference.

@Ashwini: Google is concerned only about blogs which link to blacklisted sites in a large scale. A single link isn’t necessarily a problem.

@Ben: Thanks.

@Linu: Thanks, and what’s the problem with the download link? I added a target=”_blank” to the link, so that it opens in a new window. I tested it too. I hope that solves your problem.

“However, Google will punish you if you link to blacklisted sites, through lower rankings.”

Are you sure as thousands of blogs link to john chow dot com which already been penalized?

Nice find… I have been using SearchStatus extension to accomplish the same talk. if you’re using SearchStatus goto Menu — > Highlight Nofollow Links. this is hight the links with nofollow attribute in current tab.

Sumesh: that could be a neat firefox extension. I would use it and see how it works.

I used to check the source code for checking nofollow tag.

But what’s wrong with that “Download SEO for Firefox” Link. When I clicked on it, it just returned to your homepage???
