What is `rel=”nofollow”` and Why Check It?

The `rel=”nofollow”` attribute is an HTML attribute that can be added to a hyperlink to tell search engines like Google not to follow that link or pass any ranking credit (PageRank or link equity) through it. It’s typically used for:

  • **Paid Links:** Required by Google to disclose when payment has influenced a link.
  • **Untrusted Content:** Links in comments, forums, or guest posts where you don’t want to implicitly endorse the linked page.
  • **Crawl Prioritization:** Less commonly, used to prioritize important pages for crawling (though other methods like robots.txt are often better for this).
  • **User-Generated Content (UGC) / Sponsored:** Google introduced `rel=”ugc”` and `rel=”sponsored”` as more specific alternatives, but still understands `nofollow`.

Checking your nofollow links helps you audit whether you’ve correctly applied `nofollow` (or `sponsored`/`ugc`) to paid or untrusted links and understand which links on a page might not be passing link equity.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Enter the full URL (starting with http:// or https://) of the page you want to analyze into the input field.
  2. Click the “Check Nofollow Links” button.
  3. The tool will fetch the page’s HTML content.
  4. It will then scan the HTML body for all links and filter them to show only those that explicitly include the `rel=”nofollow”` attribute.
  5. The results area will display the checked URL and a list of all found nofollow links, showing the anchor text and target URL for each, or a message if no nofollow links were found or an error occurred.

Use this tool to verify your outbound link attributes and ensure compliance or intentional use of `nofollow`.
