Nofollow/Dofollow Splitter
Paste HTML to separate links by rel attributes, review how each link is marked, and identify where link handling may need closer inspection.
What this tool checks
Rel Attribute Detection
Parses nofollow, sponsored, and ugc values so you can see which qualifying attributes are attached to each extracted link.
Unqualified Links
Identifies links without nofollow, sponsored, or ugc values, commonly described as dofollow links, for separate review.
Qualified Links
Finds links marked with nofollow and related qualifying values so you can verify whether their rel attributes match the purpose of the link.
Why Rel Attributes Deserve Review
Rel attributes provide context about why certain links exist and how publishers qualify them. Separating links by their markup helps you check whether sponsored, user-generated, or other qualified links use suitable rel values and whether standard links have been classified as intended, without treating any attribute choice as a fixed measure of ranking value.
Frequently asked questions
What is a dofollow link?
Dofollow is an informal term for a standard link that does not carry nofollow, sponsored, or ugc qualification. The absence of those values does not guarantee that a search engine will assign ranking value to the link.
When should I use nofollow?
Use nofollow when you do not want to imply normal endorsement and no more specific rel value applies. Paid or sponsored links should be qualified appropriately, and user-generated links can use the ugc value where relevant.
