    Now you start making some sense, which takes me back to my point that
    only wannabies SEO and Webmasters are using this non-existing term

    ;)

    man, are you okay ?

    I say, "don't use" not "don't call" or "don't say".

    LASTLY, people call (say, talk about) the links as "do follow" which are not defined with "rel=nofollow".

    I'm good, thank you for asking!

    So they are using something that doesn't make any sense... but why they do that?
    Don't they know that they are using non-existing "term"?
    I hope you don't mind if I call it "term" and use quotations?

    as Stephen rightly pointed out, there is nothing like dofollow, or even follow!

    google couldn't fix its algorithm, so it came out with nofollow, and forced it on us!
    we being the small fish, and so in a habit of playing by the rules set by others, we just follow(ed)! ;)

    now SEO's online just had to coin a term, which ryhms with "no-follow", and they came out with do-follow, .... which i agree, sounds as idiotic!

    we don't have to see your vomit all over the Forum

    Simply telling you.
    Do Follow means you, in cyber world is Robot such as Google robot, are able to follow this. The Robot will not stop to go and go if it sees this wording.

    On the other hand, no follow. The robot will stop doing anything then.

    What is really strange that some Internet crowd created new God and named him “do-follow”
    and strangely enough there are people who follow that “do-follow” God.

    :D

    there is nothing to get confused.
    No-follow or simply nofollow is a keyword which tells the search engines not to pass the PR. That's why, to avoid spams, webmaster generally put no-follow in the comment sections so that spammers will not write any un-necessary/non-related comment.
