# Link statuses

> Ples statuses: Dofollow, Nofollow, Not Found, Error, and Waiting. Checks run about every 24 hours.

Ples stores a status on each link after it fetches the page. The Links table shows the label; filters use the internal value.

## Statuses

\| Label | Value | Meaning | | --- | --- | | **Dofollow** | `found_dofollow` | Ples found a dofollow link to your domain | | **Nofollow** | `found_nofollow` | Ples found the link, and it is nofollow | | **Not Found** | `not_found` | The page loaded, but Ples did not find the link | | **Error** | `error` | The check failed (for example the page did not load) | | **Waiting** | `waiting` | No completed check yet, or the row is queued |

New links stay **Waiting** until the first check. After that, Ples rechecks about every 24 hours.

<Info>
  **Error**, **Not Found**, and **Nofollow** also appear on [Issues](/article/link-issues) (`/links-issues`).
