I have installed this and it does not seem to work. I should be able to see the “rel=”nofollow” appearing on the links of the intense debate commenter’s profiles, right?

I've updated the script so that it will correctly highlight links which have the string "nofollow" anywhere in the rel attribute.
Edit: Just to add, you'll need to visit the page linked above and add it to your favourites again to get the updated version.

Great script. I need that so much.
I looked over a week for something like this.
Thank you!

If you want to be sure and not make mistake put all html link in nofollow and add java to tranform these link in dofollow.

But PR sculpting is dead since google take nofollow link to remove juice.

Why wouldn't they? It seems pretty easy to do and that is their business. I'd imagine their crawler to do something like:

1. Fetch page
2. Evaluate JavaScript
3. Analyze HTML for content, links w/ nofollow, etc.
4. ???
5. ???
6. Profit!

If they dofollow all JavaScript links even if there is a nofollow tag on those links, then we are in trouble if we use 3rd party comment platforms like Disqus & Intense Debate (have dofollow links in the comment thread). You would be leaking all kinds of link juice if Google didn't abide to nofollow in JavaScript.

Given how easy it is to do it, it wouldn't hurt to nofollow all those links by JavaScript.

Why would you use JavaScript to add NoFollows? Search engines don't execute JS, and will just read them as DoFollows…

I also use NoDoFollow Firefox add-on. It works wonders for me.

That is correct, google will treat them properly as nofollow links. It can be used with all links.

Just to confirm… this will change all targeted links into nofollow links AND google will treat them properly as nofollow links? Does this only apply to links within javascript or can it be used for all links?

If this works it will save me heaps of time. This is very helpful for working with websites that work with content dynamically generated.

It's rather interesting, does jQuery Magic tool allows adding do-follow links manually?

Now I share the opinion that javascript-generated links are checked by Google. That's why no fear that javascript based menu can harm your sites positions in search engines.

I think it's been a while (See first link of this article). I started noticing when my Google Webmaster Central reported "Not Founds" from my ever-changing Javascript BSA ad URLs.

Thanks. I'll have a look at the link.

@Pet Snakes
The whole topic is certainly highly debated. Regardless, nofollow plays an important role in controlling which result page gets the most juice. If I link to somebody externally, I would want to do them the favor of passing a really juicy link rather than a less juicy one (caused by a bunch of my other dofollow internal links to useless page).

You mentioned "leaking juice" via dofollow links. My understanding was that page rank is determined by incoming links and outgoing links don't affect the page's rank they come from only how much "juice" each link gets.
