If you find yourself marketing your website through blog comments, there are a couple of Firefox Add-ons that can save you a lot of time and effort. I think marketing through “dofollow” blogs is a great strategy and completely ethical, as long as you actually contribute to the point of the blog. Spamming blogs with comments is a bad idea and will eventually get you blacklisted.
The NoDoFollow extension is one that all webmasters should have installed. This handy little tool makes it extremely easy to immediately tell which links are “nofollow” and which are not. This can be used to tell if a blog follows links in its comments. You can activate the extension at any time by simply right-clicking and selecting the “NoDoFollow” option. When turned on, all of the links on the webpage you are viewing will be color coded based on their status. Links that pass Pagerank will be highlighted in blue and those that are “nofollow” will be pink. This saves you the time of reading the source code to determine if the links pass PR or not.
Another helpful extension is the Autofill Forms extension. This little add-on allows you to automatically fill out webforms in a similar manner to Roboform. This can be very useful to quickly fill out the name, email, and website fields that are usually required when posting blog comments. Together with the NoDoFollow, you will be ready to start your blog comment marketing campaign.

I actually love the RoboForm software myself. I use it all of the time and it takes all of the menial everyday tasks that I have to perform on my computer daily and shortens them extremely! What once took me fifteen minutes to complete now takes me only one second because RoboForm does the same task with just one click. In fact I wrote a Report about a lot of RoboForm’s capabilities for use that aren’t even touched on in the User’s Manual for RoboForm. You can get that Report here:

There is also a FREE version of RoboForm that you can download on this web page, just to test the RoboForm software out for yourself! I highly recommend it!

The extension above works great.
Another way of checking if you use Firefox is to highlight the link, right click and then click on View Selection Source.
That way you can see the html of the link and ascertain whether it is nofollow or dofollow
