How to Check if a link is a do-follow link

[stupidcamel]

Hey there,
I'm newbie to SEO business. I'm trying to build backlink to my sites via posting comments with link on personal blogs and forums. However, I've got no idea how I could check if a link I've post is a do-follow link or a nofollow one. Are there any tools or websites that offer link checking service?
Looking forwards to reply soon.

You can download Search Status Firefox plugins. This tool will help you to check whether the links are dofollow or not because it automatically highlights those links that are nofollow.

You can directly download this tool on this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/321

Or you can also check the links manually by looking on their source code. Press Ctrl +F and type "nofollow". If you see your link has that value, then your link is nofollow.

Right, there are many SEO add-ons for Firefox could help you on this issue. I use seoquake and seo4firefox at the same time.

Another method would be to select the hyperlink text, right click & select "view selection source" from the options available. If you see rel="nofollow" then that link will not be useful from search engine point of view.

Well, it might be useful. I have had backlinks showing in Google Webmaster Tools that were nofollow. So Google still picks them up, what their value to your PR or SERPs really is only Google ever know.

ya right process for checking do follow or no follow is manually.

Just right-click on the link and select "Properties" - "no-follow" links will say: "Relation: nofollow"

You can install SEO for Firefox adds-on to show if a link is do-follow or not. A link in no-follow tag was highlighted in RED.
