Dofollow nofollow checker

Google treats sponsored, ugc and nofollow as hints about which links to consider or exclude within Search, and more than one of those values can sit on the same link. Paste your HTML below. The checker prints every rel token it finds on every anchor, marks the anchors carrying more than one, and separates out the ones Google's crawler could not read as links at all.

What the checker reads

Most checkers answer one question, whether the word nofollow shows up. Google's own guidance is finer than that.

Reading more than one rel token

A single link can carry several values, and Google calls rel="ugc sponsored" a perfectly valid attribute. The checker prints all of them and flags any anchor with more than one, so the sponsorship marker and the user generated content marker show up on the same row instead of one of them.

Links Google cannot follow at all

Google says it can only crawl your link if it is an a HTML element with an href attribute. Anchors wired to a script event, and anchors with no href, are not reliably extracted. Google also describes links as a signal and as the way it finds new pages to crawl. The checker gives that its own column, kept apart from rel.

A followed link still needs a way to be found

Google describes a new page as discovered when Google extracts a link from a known page to a new page, with a submitted sitemap as the other route. Google also says it doesn't guarantee that it will crawl, index, or serve your page.

Sitemap declaration is the part you can test yourself. Google, Bing and other major engines read the sitemap field in robots.txt as defined by sitemaps.org, and the protocol states that this directive is independent of the user-agent line, so where the line sits in the file does not matter.

The six hosts below are the publishing targets this pipeline probes. Each robots.txt was read with a Googlebot user agent on 2026-08-24. Of those six hosts, 33.3 percent declare a Sitemap line, which is two of the six.

Before you go hunting for an njump.me link inside a third-party backlink index, read that disallow list.

Search Console has a Request Indexing button. Google's help page says it does not guarantee that the page will appear in the Google Index, that there is a daily limit on index requests, and that operators wanting many pages indexed should submit a sitemap instead.

Where these numbers come from

The coverage figure is recomputed in code from a first-party probe of those six hosts, robots.txt fetched with a Googlebot user agent, and it renders from a validated field rather than being typed into the copy. Google's sitemap guidance says a site may not need one when it is comprehensively linked internally, and that a sitemap doesn't guarantee that all the items in your sitemap will be crawled and indexed. Neither reading is a promise, and this page does not turn them into one.

Questions this checker gets

Does a nofollow link keep a page out of the index

No. For crawling and indexing Google moved nofollow to a hint, and it tells anyone relying on nofollow alone to keep a page out of the index to use a stronger blocking method, noting that using nofollow that way was never recommended.

When to use ugc instead of sponsored

Google recommends ugc for user generated content links such as comments and forum posts, and it introduced sponsored for links created as part of advertisements, sponsorships or other compensation agreements. Both are hints, and both can appear on one link.

What the checker does not tell you

Whether a link was worth building. Google defines link spam as creating links to or from a site primarily for the purpose of manipulating search rankings, and lists using automated programs or services to create links to your site among its examples. Reading a rel attribute cannot see intent, and nothing here predicts a ranking.
