Sometimes while commenting on blog posts we want to know that this blog has dofollow comments OR nofollow comments. Today, many bloggers post a banner or text on their blog to show that their blog comments are do-follow.
But if you can’t find that text or banner, you can follow this easiest method to know about the dofollow/nofollow comment system on blogs.
How to check it?
All you need is Google Chrome browser. For those who are using Google Chrome, they can check easily about dofollow/nofollow commenting system. Yeah, Google Chrome provides you the ability to check html behind any text,image,script,tags etc.

Let me tell you by an example, First go to that blog whose commenting system you want to check and pick a random post which already has atleast one comment OR Use that post in which you want to comment but it must has atleast one comment, then you need to do a right click on guest author name who posted comment and then click on ‘Inspect element’. Not able to understand what I am trying to explain? Take a look at this image.

After clicking on ‘Inspect element’, you will see something like below image. Then you can check if there is any rel=”nofollow” attribute then it means blog has nofollow commenting system.
As you can clearly see in the image above, my blog’s commenting system is nofollow. If you don’t know clearly about dofollow/nofollow, you must check this post.

Nice thanks for this unique tricks
I've seen this in Firefox too if you have the Firebug extension
You are right Melissa….
Firefox requires firebug to get Inspect element option…

Awesome! Thanks for this unique tricks..
Thanks, I just changed to GC, i was using FF, In FF there is an extension for checking it.
Thanks for your article. Have a nice day
Good to know! I love Google Chrome and I keep finding uses to make it better every day!
I use Opera,
it has an extension named “nofollow” that marks all nofollow links in page automatically so you dont need to view the source code.
you can customize the css to make your won style for nofollow links.
Yeah…The same extension is also available for Firefox and Chrome..
For Firefox, link is given above and for chrome this is the extension https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/dfogidghaigoomjdeacndafapdijmiid
I don’t know why but I never used FF for last 5 years or more, please don’t think I’m starting a browser war but I’m just sharing my habit.
Hi there, thanks for the tips. Are you familiar with software that detect dofollow blogs? I tried the free G-Lock blog finder and tested your trick on some of the blogs that were marked ‘dofollow’ by the software and they all turned out to have the ‘nofollow’ . This confused me. Do you have any idea why that is?
Don’t get confused, you get the right result after checking with above method. If you find Rel=”nofollow” code, it simply means that comments are nofollow on the blog.
Great! I was often wondering what can I do with the inspect element option of Google Chrome. Now I have my answer =) Wouldn’t installing a no-follow checking extension be much more efficient though? I just turn it off after using it because it is kind of distracting when it is left running. =)
I am still benefiting a lot from the information i have read on this page. Now i don’t have to install plugins or anything like it that will only slow down my pc or install malicious things such as worms and viruses. Thanks!
