What are dofollow and nofollow links?

“No-follow” is nothing but a HTML tag that tells search engines to not follow the links of the page, it is usually written as rel=”no-follow” combined with the link. No-follow attribute can be also specified in the page meta by entering content=”nofollow” which instructs search engines to not crawl any links of the page.

Dofollow blogs transfers their page rank to targeted links hence commenters usually write comments on such blogs to get higher page ranks. But how to check if the blog is dofollow or nofollow? Because by default WordPress comes with “no-follow” attribute and only few people allow dofollow to their comments. So here is the simple trick to check whether the blog you are about to comment is dofollow or nofollow.
