Dofollow vs Nofollow Backlinks

[amandeepbans]

Perhaps you already know by now, that when it comes to online marketing and effective search engine optimization, getting backlinks to your website and/or blog is a hugely important way to improve your ranking in the Search Engines. Those links that direct and point back to your sites are known as backlink and they can come from other blogs, articles, forums and social media. So, breaking it down even further, there are actually two types of backlinks and they will be either Dofollow links or Nofollow links.

The Differences
• Dofollow link is a hyperlink that is able to tell search engines to pass along its page rank influence to an outbound link.
• Nofollow link is exactly the opposite. It is a hyperlink that removes the ability to pass on its page rank status to other sites.

How do Dofollow and Nofollow Links Work?
When a Google spyder bot visits and sweeps through a webpage to read it and search for content, it will include and pay attention to any links with a Dofollow attribute and exclude any links with a Nofollow attribute

When they search and come across a site with a Nofollow link, they will see it but not respond and go to visit where that link is directing, but when they come across a Dofollow link, they will respond and follow that link to wherever it is directing. And if the Google spyder bots like what they see on the next page, that page will be ranked even better and higher on Google

Why you NEED Backlinks for SEO
If high quality sites (according to Google), provide backlinks to your site, Google will reward you for that and improve your rank in the search results. So the more backlinks (especially the Dofollow links) to your pages/sites, the better and higher you will rank on Google and the other search engines!
• To do this: Leave comments and responses on other blogs and forums, which will allow you to include your website/blog hyperlinks with a Dofollow attribute.

Where to Place Nofollow or Dofollow Backlinks
In order to gain better search engine status and page rank, you should aim to post on trustworthy, high traffic sites that are updated frequently. The search engines will also be looking for backlinks that are related. Meaning that the site you are linking to will have similar content to the site you are adding your backlinks to.

So, remember that when adding either Nofollow or Dofollow backlinks, your goal should be to have as many quality and related backlinks to your sites as possible to help improve your search engine rankings and your authority status on Google! You want to show that your website or blog is an important one that many different sites are linking back to and also showcasing as being important and worth sharing and visiting.

Great article. I had heard a lot about do-follow and no-follow but your post brought back to top-of-mind. Especially explaining how the minors connection is a factor which I did not fully understand before.

very informative post thank you for this information.

Hello,

Google also counts no follow links as well but not as much as do follow links.

I think many visitors most likely go for an informative link and user friendly features of the sites that's why do follow links is commonly use.

Thanks & Regards,
Jacob

[wdwatson]

Information of dofollow and nofollow which you had share its the right way of SEO. No one can ignore this points.

[pentawebexperts]

Informative post. But still i think no follow links are also helpful to cater some audience.

[pentawebexperts]

in my opinion No Follow links are also helpful by allowing the viewers directed towards a site and hence the traffic of a site is increased as well.

What if nofollow coming from high authority site? Does it makes any difference?

[alderson]

Hi...
Only Do-Follow link is much preferrable and how ever u post links like No-Follow, Than its utterly waste...

[jeja7676]

Even if do follow is better for your site, I think it is quite natural to have also no follow links. It is not normal to collect 99% of do follow links. Id say ratio 60-40 sounds ok.

[Charlote123]

agree with you ... very well explained the difference between the two

[alderson]

Hi...
Might be jeja... But the ratio can be of 80-20. Hope U might agree with this...

When it comes to backlinks, I think Dofollow links are always good to collect but avoiding nofollow is not that good.
This seems a very useful insight regarding the "dofollow and "nofollow" attribute. One can learn properly from this post how and where to use them.
