Which of these links actually pass signal?

Plenty of directories advertise backlinks and then ship them with rel="nofollow". You can’t tell from the page. Paste a URL and see every outbound link with its real rel — including the one pointing at you.

What the rel values mean

(none)
Passes ranking signal. This is what people mean by dofollow — there is no rel="dofollow" attribute; the absence of a suppressing value is the signal.
nofollow
Tells search engines not to pass signal. Originally for untrusted links.
sponsored
Paid or compensated placement. The correct marking for an ad, and it passes nothing.
ugc
User-generated — comments, forum posts. Passes nothing.

For what it’s worth, you can point this at our own listings — the “Visit” link on a live listing carries no suppressing rel, and a paid sidebar placement carries sponsored, which is what it should be. Checking is the point of the tool.
