Using the META Robots Tag
Be Specific: Using Semantic XHTML for Search Engines

(Modified) Nofollow Greasemonkey Script

I took the liberty of adjusting Joost de Valk’s Nofollow Display Greasemonkey script to highlight links on pages that use a nofollow Meta tag. As always, Joost’s tool is really great but it only shows nofollow links when the rel=”nofollow” attribute is used (skipping links that are nofollow due to the robots Meta nofollow tag).

Thanks to Aaron Wall’s latest SEO tool – the instantly popular SEO Toolbar, I was able to get rid of almost all my other SEO addons and scripts, including SEO for Firefox. Even though the SEO toolbar has a button to click to see nofollow links on any given page, the feature can’t be turned on by default for all pages, so that nofollow links are instantly viewable.

So, I modified Joost’s script to highlight all nofollow links with a nice pink background, whether the nofollow is specified within the anchor or Meta tag.

Install the Script, if you like.

Install Greasemonkey

How to install: First, install Greasemonkey with the link above, then click on the “Install the Script” link above that. Greasemonkey will automatically detect that it is a Greasemonkey user script, and will ask if you want to install it.
