    I hope you know how to write a link in html?

    Well, a dofollow link can be crawled by bots - good for your Pagerank
    A nofollow link cannot be crawled by bots - no impact on Pagerank, but good for traffic

    nofollow links are declared with rel="nofollow"

    hint: use google or the forum search next time before posting a new thread ;)

    I wouldn't worry about nofollow links, it's not your job to know about it

    It depends what you are trying to accomplish.

    A dofollow link carries "link juice". For example, the more backlinks your website gets, the higher it can push your ranking in a google search for a particular search phrase. For example, let's say you have a blog with an article that has a title called "Big Red Balloons". When someone types "big red balloons" into google, do you want your website with the page called "big red balloons" to appear on the first page of google, or maybe even the first entry? If so, that happens when other peoples websites have a link to your website where the link reads "big red balloons".

    Now, sometimes you will be able to get a website to do this for you. If you simply want your link to appear on their website for the sole purpose of having people click it to visit your site, then you do not care whether it is nofollow or dofollow.

    But, if you only want the link to help you in SERPS to push you to page one and you don't care whether anyone clicks the link, then you want a dofollow link.

    None of this is really set in stone though anymore and google has undergone a big algorithm change with SEO. Link farms and directories no longer carry any weight with google, they have to be natural links to carry any value.

    You should first learn more about Google, and what it can do for you (as far as being able to find answers to dumb questions)... baby steps.

    As a newbie it is naturally to ask like that. But it would be better if we try to find similar information on the DP that is a lot of knowledge here.

    Why? If that is true, why don't we just shut these forums down right now. He asked for help in a proper forum and a bunch of people turned him away.

    Very good answer. My suggestion is, don't be tensed against do follow and no follow. In different way, both are helpful for you. For example, posting in this forum will give you no follow link but may give you a good amount of direct traffic.

    Just check the pagesource and check for a nofollow tag. Obviously if they don't have it, its a dofollow. nofollow basically only helps bring in some traffic, do follow allows for juice to your site to increase positioning and pr

    Do Follow backlinks can one of your best friend in niche marketing. why?
    Because they can raise the rankings of your site's pages in the search engines, bringing you targeted organic traffic at zero cost per click.
    Nofollow is an attribute value of a link, which tells search engines that the link should not influence the target-link’s ranking in the search engine’s index and should not crawl towards the target link.

    Hi,

    DoFollow Link has a special HTML Markup inside that tells the Search Engines like Google to FOLLOW the destination inside the link.Do-Follow such an attribute value of links, who has a great value to search engines, like Google. The bots of Search engine will crawl through the do-follow links and its can increase your page ranks as well as traffic from search engine. And Do-Follow links is a link which Google wants and Like.

    Well, both do follow and no follow links are good for your websites. The important thing is that both links are useful because they can send you traffic.
