Hello all. I read on the web that this forum website was a follow site (towards links) back in 2004. Then I read it is nofollow in 2006. So I am confused. Which one would it be? Thanks for the input.

Not sure what your question is. The specification for the nofollow attribute was first officially created in 2005, and we began using it not long after.

Member Avatar for selfhelpebooks

Oh, ok. I mean't if the site is rel=follow or rel=nofollow for search engines spidering the links. Thanks!

Member Avatar for Dani

Yes, I knew that's what you were talking about :)

To the best of my knowledge this site is do follow and not no follow. I can't be certain but I have found that my posts in this fourm can indexed by Google quite easily and I have already found some of my posts when I search in Google directly by my Company name. I think that if I could find my posting son Google this forum is most likely not no follow. In either case I have found Daniweb to be good for seo and indexing.

cscgal, you know the answer ;) so please help , are signature links follow or noffollow ? ;)

Member Avatar for Microsys

Why don't you just check the source?

Member Avatar for gdi

its NO follow :=)

How to check if site is no follow/do follow?
===========================
Through Firefox
Right-click the link in the comments section to click on Properties. If the pop-up box says nofollow then that's what it is. If it doesn't mention nofollow, then it's not nofollow.
Hope this clear things out.

The signature links in this forum are nofollow. Take a look at one of your posts and then view the source code of that page. Search for your sig link and you will see rel=nofollow

Member Avatar for redesignunit

May be no follow but not sure :(

Member Avatar for mystryworld

Signature links are nofollow here. I don't understand why you've asked this question here. You can easily check it from source code or can also use NoDoFollow add-ons of Mozilla. Anyway signature links are nofollow that does not mean they're totally useless. You could get good visits to your site. So keep posting with more interesting and useful posts!

DaniWeb is NOFOLLOW...if you have Chrome you can download an extension called "Chrome SEO" then just put a checkmark at the bottom of that "ShowNofollow" and you can instantly see what links are nofollow by a red dotted border surrounding those links. In any case all external links that I can see are NoFollow (no benefit for your site in the search engines)

Member Avatar for dantec04

Yes, this is no-follow site. However, it's interesting to join and discover the topics around here. We can learn a lot.

Member Avatar for joeharison

Member Avatar for ricardorayenz

Follow this site and follow my knowledge no one's best to do. I will not, but I have found that in the Fourm posts indexed by Google can be quite easily and I already may have found some of your posts when I Google my company name directly Search. I think if my son can get the Google posting this stage is most likely not follow. In either case I have found Daniweb be good for SEO and indexing.

Member Avatar for leahmarie
