Dofollow and Nofollow

Can anyone please explain these 2 terms and what`s the difference about them - dofollow and nofollow (I guess backlinks?)

 

Its simple, do follow are those links which search engines follow. No follow are those which they don't. So obviously do follow is better.

 

Some sites have 'No Follow' attribute in source code which means these sites will give 'No Follow' link and others will give 'Do Follow' link. Each Do follow gives some authority to link website and No Follow sites do not give authority to link site.

 

Dofollow Link is a hyperlink that is able to tell all search engines to pass along it's page rank influence to an outbound link.

No follow Link is exactly the opposite. It is a hyperlink that removes the ability to pass on it's page rank status to other sites. No follow are for not crawling a link by search engine that influence the ranking of a particular website or blog in search engines.

Benefit of DO-Follow and NO-Follow

If the other webmasters give us a back link with "do follow" then the link will be considered by Google while if the other site owners give a link back to our site using the "no follow" attribute, then it will not be considered by Google and that link will not make any impact on our website ranking.

 

A dofollow link will pass PR to your website,it is equivalent to cast a vote for your site by other website. But a nofollow link won't be crawled by search engines.

 

I found the answer of your question I hope you will understand after see this:

 

Do follow helps in back link count, which no follow doesn't. So do follow is better than no follow.

 

So true and catchy explanation! Do follow and with great PR sites will be crawled by search engines.

 

Do Follow - Dofollow is best quality and innovative back link. Which is give the more benefits for our website because google always consider do follow back link and they are also give us lot of traffic and visitors.

No follow - This is also called back link but such types back link can't give us more benefits because google may be consider or many not be consider such types link. No follow link also give us good traffic and visitors.

 

Do follow links deliver PR juice to the links of the website anchored while creating a backlink while no follow dont deliver PR juice. Either you have a Do Follow or a No Follow Relation link pointng towards your website, both are treated and regarded as backlinks.

 

NoFollow (rel=”nofollow”) was originally introduced by Google in 2005 as a means of preventing Comment Spam from Blogs. Nofollow is a value that can be assigned to the rel attribute of an HTML a element to instruct some search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link target's ranking in the search engine's index. It is intended to reduce the effectiveness of certain types of search engine spam, thereby improving the quality of search engine results and preventing spamdexing from occurring.

Do Follow puts No Restrictions on the Search Engine Robots from following links on your page, either to other internal pages on your site, or to other web sites.

 

"DoFollow" is simply an internet slang term given to web pages or sites that are not utilizing "NoFollow." NoFollow is a hyperlink value that tells search engines not to pass on any credibility or influence to an outbound link. Originally created to help the blogging community reduce the number of inserted links into a "comment" area of a blog page, the attribute is typically standard in blog comments. It helps overwhelmed webmasters disallow spammers from gaining any kind of advantage by inserting an unwanted link on a popular page, and has become an integral part of Google-specific SEO.

Above is quoted from squidoo, where I learned about the two phrases in the first place. Hope can help

 

Do follow pass on the juice link and provide you the benefit, however in No follow this is just opposite.

 

Thank you all for the help! So website owner has to write it on the script, if he wants that there are nofollow links and by default all are dofollow? And why anyone them would like to enable dofollow links, if with them they lose their PR?

 

Dofollow Link is a hyperlink that is able to tell all search engines to pass along it's page rank influence to an outbound link.

 

A link has the no follow attribute removed. This type of link will pass link juice/equity to another website or page on a website. Typically, this encourages visitor participation.

 

they are two types of links are there those dofollow and nofollow links these the best one and useful one is dofollow links dofollow links only searchengines crawled , where as nofollow links are not crawled.

 

DoFollow links are not readable by Google bot. Do-follow link refers to links that do not have nofollow attribute. It gives backlink to your site and the page rank of the webpage can be transferred into your site.

No-follow links are not readable by Google bot, but they are readable and clickable by human. No-follow links are not always ignore.

 

When you link your site to a do-follow site the html link code will be a regular anchor text html link. In the case of a no-follow the no follow html tag will be added within the link and you would not get a link back to your site from this site.

 

Do Follow liknks are link that is crawled by search engines and do follow sites also gives back links that is important according to search engines point of view. If you have more back links than you have chance to get top position in search engines. Other hand No Follow links don't crawled by search engine because it's have attribute rel="nofollow". In no-follow we cant only get traffic not back link, So always try to use Do Follow sites to get better position in search engines.
