There are several ways to check if a link in a website or page is dofollow or not, the most time consuming way is by checking the source code of the page and see if there is a “nofollow” tag in that pageor not.
While the easiest way is by using some software package that can do this automatically with broader functions that allow you do many SEO things with it. But of course you must pay for these particular softwares and sometimes it’s not worth it to open a program just to do a simple task and on a few pages.
What Is Dofollow Link?
Before I move on, let me explain what a dofollow link is. For any of you who are familiar with it, just skip this part.
A dofollow link is simply a link with NO nofollow tag attached to it. Let me give you an example:
If you check the source code, a regular link will usually look like this:
<a href=”http://www.xyz.com”>XYZ</a>
While this is a link with nofollow tag:
<a href=”http://www.xyz.com” rel=”nofollow>XYZ</a>
The first example is what we call dofollow link, simply for the absence of nofollow tag in it. The dofollow link brings you many SEO benefit. Though there is good use of nofollow links as well. I’ll post about it later.
The Solution
So, it will be a big deal if you are looking for dofollow links to build ranks for your site by checking the source code manually one by one.
The easiest and free way to see if a link is dofollow or not is using your everyday browser, like Mozilla Firefox and install a plugin that can do this particular job while you are browsing. My favorite one is SearchStatus plugin for Firefox.
Just click the “Download Now” button and there will be a popup box asking if you want to install it. Don’t forget to restart the browser after you’ve done with the installation process.
Once it’s ready you will see a small icon at the bottom right corner of the Firefox browser. Look at the image.

There you can also see the current PageRank and Alexa Rank for the page you are viewing. No need to go to any pagerank checking site and to Alexa.com itself to see that specific PageRank and Alexa Rank. You can also change the style of PageRank and Alexa Rank displayed from bar to text view. Just right click on it.
Right click on the “@” sign to view the available functions.
searchstatus right clicked
Click on “Highlight Nofollow Links” to highlight nofollow links on a webpage you are seeing. When you activate it there will be a check mark right in front of the selection and all nofollow links on the page will be marked with red color with dashed line around it.
Conclusion
This way you can quickly analyze if the webpage you are visiting providing dofollow links to external websites or not. No need to manually analyze the source code or pay for a software just to do this.
But even when you have paid softwares that are capable of doing this, still it is valuable to have this kind of small tool in your SEO arsenal. Rather than to shoot and open a software just for a quick check, I always find it comes in handy.

Question:
Often we see with the lights on the plane during flight, sometimes blinking sometimes steady. Is the light aircraft function the same as land vehicles for street lighting and whether the pilot is obliged to always turn on the lights during night flight?
Answer:
Three Aircraft Light Types
The light function is the same everywhere, which is to illuminate something, or so it can be seen by the other party as a navigation aid. Anyway, for an aircraft there are many different lights with different colors and has been a general agreement that the outer lights located on the left is colored Red, while on the right is colored Green. Broadly speaking there are only two aircraft light positions that are within the cabin is known as the internal light and outside the cabin is called external light.
In an aircraft there are a variety of external light. Namely Landing and Taxi Light, Runway Light, Scan Light, Wingtip Light, Navigation Light, Anti-Collision Light, Strobe Light, and sometimes there is also called the Auxilliary Light used to illuminate the vertical stabilizer to make company logo visible. While for some military aircraft there are other external lights, eg. Formation Light and Probe Light. All types of lamps are lit only when necessary.
In the aviation world flight safety is the primary consideration, for it had lights installed other than as a means of lighting it’s also to confirm the existence of such aircraft visually. Therefore some aircraft lights related to navigation safety must be lit, for example strobe lights and landing lights when going to landing, because the other function of the landing light is a sign that the wheel of the plane has been lowered. Only the taxi and runway lights used as pilot instrument to lighting the runway at night, the rest serves as the safety requirements of flying.
In addition, the angle of the light beam comply to the standard provisions with the aim that by looking at it then the direction or heading of the aircraft can be predicted. Red navigation lights (left) has an 110 degrees angle, the opposite on the right has the same angle as well, while the White navigation lights (rear) has an angle of 170 degrees. This beam angle is also applicable to military aircraft and should always be lit at night or during the day, along with strobe light.
In military aircraft there is a so-called formation light, judging by the name it serves as visibility aid in the flight formation at night. This lamp is positioned at three spots, by comparing the triangular shape of the three lights on other aircraft, the pilots will be able to estimate the distance and position relative to the flight leader. Formation light on some of today’s aircraft fighter has been replaced with a reflector (spot light) with the same function. While the probe light function is to illuminate the probe (a device for fighter aircraft (air-refueling) when it will conduct refueling at night. In basket (of the tanker aircraft), there is a reflector, by looking at the reflector shape and size it will look like a circular ring, the fighter pilots can estimate position, distance, and angle of approach without looking at the tanker aircraft.
All external lights can be controlled from the cockpit with a toggle switch position ON-OFF, Bright-DIM selector and STD-FLASH control make it blinks or steady. Generally, when a plane fly below 5,000 feet the switch will be placed to the Bright/Flash position to make other planes or controller easy to see, as often we see everyday.
There was time when the Categories and Tags on a WordPress-based blog that I manage myself (self hosted) disappeared. The front page blog displays “error 404 – Not found”, then when I logged into the administration page and click on “Writing – Edit” my posts are still there, just all the categories and tags that I have assigned to the article disappeared.
Other symptoms; when I added new categoriy and tag with the same name as the missing ones, there will appear a message that the category I added already exists and I can not add that particular category or tag, although it seems does not exist on the list.
The cause to the problem is very simple (although seems to be not related), do not worry this has nothing to do with your WordPress installation and you don’t need to reinstall WordPress or to restore the copy of database – something that I repeatedly do when it happens. 
The problem is in the /tmp directory on the hosting server I use. It seems unrelated, but it’s the true cause.
The fix:
- If you have root access to the server, run the following command:
df -h
This command will display the status of free space on the server partition. Make sure / tmp 100% unused, and delete the files in it with this command:
cd /tmp
find . -exec rm {};
- Or if you have access to Cpanel, there is a link called “Service Status” on the sidebar (left bottom). Click it and check the /tmp partition. If it’s full, contact technical support of the webhosting service you are using, and ask them to empty /tmp.
I have proved this myself and indeed the problem is because the /tmp partition is full.
Oh yes, the last symptom I see was that the problem is intermittent. It can happend and disappear sometimes, this proves that it’s not a WordPress installation or database problem.
Good luck.

Update: Not all web webhosting Cpanel based service opens the feature to show this status. However you can still ask them to check it out for you and to order the evacuation of /tmp partition.
