There has got to be a tool that you can paste in a hundred url's and have them checked for dofollow/nofollow. Does this exist? If it does, I sure can't find it. Why doesn't scrapebox have it as a native feature? I don't know how to program, but one of you rockstars should design something like this if it's not already out there.
 


The tool doesn't exist, because there is no reliable way of checking, unless you are checking against a specific link that you have placed. Some websites might have a mix of dofollow and nofollow at the same time. How do you distinguish between the two?
 
Wouldn't there be a way to have the program find the comments section of the blog url and then scan for the name/url like below?

HTML: 
<strong class="name"><a href='hxxp://website.com' rel='external nofollow' class='url'>Joe Blow | Web Developer</a></strong>
For the purposes we would use this tool, even if they do have a mix of dofollow and nofollow, the nofollow would always be on the comments anyway, so if the tool detected nofollow anywhere in the code, it should just call the url nofollow altogether.

Like I said, I can't code anything like this, so I'm just thinking outloud.
 
There is no reliable way to detect comments. Every WordPress template has different HTML structure. Some clearly label as "comment" some say "leave a reply", etc... There are just too many variations. I am sure it's possible to go thru top 100 popular templates and identify the markup, but it's very time consuming.

Also, what if there are no comments on the page yet? What to do then?

I have a script that checks against my own links to see if they are dofollow or nofollow.

I can write some custom stuff if you can come up with a good logic.
 
I see what you mean if there aren't any comments to check against. Hmmm. There's a solution to just about everything. Just seems I don't know the answer to this one. I'll keep brainstorming.
 
I thought about this a lot. Didn't come up with anything that was 100% proof. If you get some ideas, lemme know, I'll write it for free and share with ya ;)
 
you'll be wrastlin' all day with varying dom structures to even get close to something like this working, and bottom line is it doesn't really even matter whether they're dofollow or not.

thats why i gave up heh ;)
 
It's true, dofollow/nofollow, it doesn't really matter to me, but it's the fact that no one has come up with a way to do it. That's why it has to be done.

well, I have yet to see mini robotic porn star dolls reenact scenes on my desk, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm gonna venture into that field :)
 
It would be very simple just to see if nofollow is in the source of the page anywhere. But the most this will tell you is that there are no no-followed links yet.
 
Fast Blog Finder will show you dofollow and nofollow results per URL. If you run it on a server, it actually lives up to it's name.

dchuk, quit spreading false info.

Anyone using SkrapeBOX notice that there's a new "dofollow" checker for Wordpress blogs.

Unfortunately I've tried it on hundreds of WP blog posts and it hasn't found a dofollow in the bunch, but hey, it was a nice thought.
 
I use the searchstatus addon for firefox, select the highlight nofollow links then when im doing my backlinking just scroll down quickly to the comments section and if any of the names are highlighted I move on to the next site.... much easier than opening up the source code and checking there.

^^ That is exactly what efeezy was looking for a long time :bowdown:
 
You could do a count of links with dofollow and a count of links with nofollow on a page to get a percent, obviously the higher the percentage then the less chance of dofollow..

Otherwise it's way too tricky without a continuous piece of code throughout the sites.
