rel nofollow
In my previews post I introduced a new software that automated part of the directory submissions process. The idea is simple: submit your website to many directories and get one way links for free.
On that matter allow me to bring to your attention something very important. Some of the directories owners are using the “nofollow” attributes within the <a> tag (The <a> tag defines an anchor.). If your website appear in such a directory, the link to your website get no credit. In another word, there is no point to submit your website to such kind of directories assuming that you would like to improve your website ranking.
How can you know if a directory owner is using the “nofollow” attribute. The simple way is by looking at the website source code. However, this could take some time and effort, especially if you are submitting your website to large number of directories.
I am using a nice Firefox extension that give the option to highlight nofollow links. This extension, developed by Craig Raw, is a must for those who are dealing with SEO. It has several others features beside the option to highlight nofollow links.
You can download it at: http://www.quirk.biz/searchstatus/
After you will install it take a look at the right bottom corner of your Firefox
Right Click on the @ icon and mark the “Highlight the nofollow links” options.
Now… every page that you will visit, all the nofollow links will be highlighted.
