New SEO tool

Barney · 08-23-2007, 07:57 AM

Hi all

I was going to post a link to a new tool that I've made for SEO, but I've read the Forum Read Me and it prohibits linking to your own sites. If the link is relevant to SEO, can I publish, can I just write the domain without linking it, or should I just fogettaboudit

Forget about it

Delete it from your hard drive. Never tell anybody that you had one.

You can write an article on blogs about it (you new SEO tool) and link it if you want.... and promote your blog....

what kind of tool is that? If it is a software.. Just don't publish and just forget about it!

It's an on-line script that checks wordpress blogs for the presence of the rel="external nofollow" attribute. It's useful to see that if you are posting on a blog, whether that blog is using nofollow or not. I use it all the time.

ah, you said "one line" script

So, if you use FireFox:

1. right click on your bookmarks toolbar
2. select new bookmark
3. name it whatever you want (e.g. "nofollow checker")
4. paste this code into location input field

Code:

javascript:(function(){for (i = 0; i < document.links.length; i++) { if (document.links[i].rel && document.links[i].rel.indexOf('nofollow') != -1) { alert('This page uses *nofollow* links.'); break; } }})();

5. click OK & feel free to use it anytime you want

Nice little snippet.

hmmmm.... maybe it's complicated.

good work but I think Web Developer Mozilla Firefox Addon marks somehow links that do have rel="nofollow" attribute.

By the way you can try to learn XUL and make some Mozilla Addons

No, Web Developer Addon doesn't mark rel="nofollow" links, but there are plenty of others who do this.

Yes, I do know XUL. But I use it for more serious tasks than this 2 minute one line JS bookmarklet

cool

potchie · 08-25-2007, 08:32 AM

what kind of tool?

I know I'm painfully new here, but surely linking to a script which is useful for the members wouldn't be against the spirit of the rules? As long as the link doesn't go to a bunch of banner-popup-popunder-flash-virus-ridden code then it's not an abuse?

I'd be interested to hear from a mod on this, as I would have thought each post and link should be compared on its merits as long as you're not a drive-by-linker (read SPAMMER)
