Just a note to say that I think this tool is truly amazing - and have raved about it in my new book on link building “The Link Building Black Book”.

To the person who didn’t like the color - you can customize the border by changing the word firebrick, and the link background by changing the numbers in the rgb(255, 200, 200) attribute.

Best regards,
Alex Newman.

What exactly does this do? Just highlight links differently that are nofollowed?

@Tom you cannot turn on/off but you can remove ping background from css

[…] That said, I believe that all users should be able to recognize these links as being problematic (or untrusted) at first glance. The more advanced, web-savvy users will sometimes have tools installed or special settings which highlight links with “rel=nofollow”, the normal user does not. If a link is marked as being problematic / untrusted for search engines, the user should see that as well — it’s nothing more than the Google Webmaster Guideline “Don’t deceive your users or present different content to search engines than you display to users (…)”. It is deceiving to show users a normal link and at the same time tell search engines that you really don’t want to link there! In my opinion, if the link is not good enough, the user should be informed. There are two ways to do that. My favorite solution would be for browsers to automatically highlight these kinds of links on all sites. However, I doubt that will happen any time soon… […]

This is a nifty little piece of advice- very useful!

however, it does make some pages a little too ‘pink’ for my liking - is there any way of turning this on and off easily?
