I installed the code a few months ago. I changed the color to a nice grey rather than the red. I couldn’t live without it now

There is another way use mozilla addon, download it here

Long live the dofollow community! From my own experience it has boosted the volume of blog traffic enormously, it’s like handing back a little bit of love for paying a blog a little attention.

They have one of the best community moderated sites in the world and are well known for how brutal they can be with changes (especially spammy links being added to articles). How long do you think it takes for a link changed to a spammy link on an article gets reverted? Not very long. Also, they are creating a situation where the world uses them as the source and not the sources they link to (the search engines will rate the Wikipedia piece higher than the sources), it’s the roach motel effect and opposite of how NOFOLLOW was intended to be used by all the main search engines. Before I started filtering Wikipedia results I’d often see them high on Google for articles which were nothing more than rewrites of source material that was better. Who ranked higher? Wikipedia.

Thanks, very helpful information. Got rid of the addons I had which came with other features and now just have something that does the job in showing nofollow links. Would be great to have an addons which highlighted JavaScript too and also websites like digg which do nofollow links but with different css.

Thanks,

Dan

Thank you so much for this. I didn’t use it the way you described it, but I have SEO for Firefox, and DIDN’T KNOW IT DID THIS!! The red links were driving me mad! Now I know I just have to turn off SEOFF when I’m not using it.

NO other place I looked described why this was happening. Thankyou for my sanity!
