Do follow & no follow

What is difference between do follow and no follow links?

 

Dofollow link signifies that a person fully trusts your website. In that regard, this kind of link will improve your overall page ranking. On the other hand, nofollow link is a link that still leads visitor to your page. However, it has very limited power in terms of SEO. This is a common practice for big companies and media outlets. They almost never give dofollow links. Nevertheless, even nofollow links can have a positive impact on your overall SEO because they are sending a positive signal to Google. Of course, if you have an option, always go for dofollow links.

 

Agree with niksto82
Use do follow links for relevant content, content that is useful for visitors, internal links. And get this links by producing great content, guest blogging (for relevant sites) and linking out to others, who may then link back.
And no follow links you can use for irrelevant content, affiliate links, sponsored links, advertising, comments, footer links etc.

 

Simply, By dofollow link site owner has a guarantee about your site to google and by nofollow link you will get direct visitors for your site but not any guarantee.

 

Just to expand on some of the answers here...

'nofollow' is an attribute added to a link that tells search engines not to jump from the host page to the target page in a crawl, thus 'link equity' isn't passed. It's a way of saying 'even though the link is on the page, I don't vouch for it'. There is no actual attribute 'dofollow', but this label generally applies to anything that isn't 'nofollow'. However, this is a bit misleading. People often ask about dofollow links in the context of link equity, and not all dofollow links are created equal. For instance, repeated instances of the same exact link on a page do not all count - generally, just the first one does.

It's also worth noting that there are other ways to prevent link equity flowing from one page to another. For example, if the source page has an iFrame and links are in the iFrame, equity would pass from the (likely) useless iFrame rather than the URL of the page you appear to be on.

 

Just to mention, a well placed nofollow link can also produce immediate traffic.

 

dofollow: followed much more from google, pass the pagerank, it depends on the pr. worth as much.
nofollow: link not followed by google, always worth something, but very little.
You have to get them all and two, google does not accept only dofollow backlink

 

No follow and Do follow both have different role in search engine . Do follow help website to pass link juice to your site from website. No follow will help for increasing visitors.

 

As people have already said above, you need to have BOTH dofollow and nofollow links, it's called a mixed (diversified) link profile, and it is more natural from the point of view of Google. Another things you should be aware of is that dofollow links differ in their power. A more powerful website (in terms of DA - domain authority; as for PR, it is not so important anymore) passes you more "weight". So, pay attention to the DA of the site you want to get a backlink from.

 

Nofollow backlinks is the type of backlinks which help to increase the site traffic only but not page raking in search engine,The nofollow backlinks increase only the traffic to your site and does not increase your page rank in search engine because the links in search engine shows the sign of nofollow that link meaning search engine should not index in a particular link.Example of nofollow link appear in this form <a href=http;//www.website.com/"rel="nofollow">link Text</a> inside this link there is nofollow word mearning search engine should not crawl or index it.

Dofollow backlinks is the type of backlinks which increase page rank and also increase traffic to your site.How it increase the page rank?, search engine have a metric called pageranker calculating the link point of the page,when many people click a particular page that page earn more points, If the particular page gains more clicks the search engine will take it as a good page in search results for the user using pageranker,the more clicks gained the more chance the page will rank higher in search results.And come to increase the traffic source hope everyone know the more clicks on a particular page with different people the more traffic you get.

 

To cut a long story short!
Do follow pass page rank, no follow don't.

 

dofollow backlinks are better than nofollow. no matter dof or nof, you should build both of them. they are also good for seo your site

 

Dfollow site is useful for your website and you website can get back link in google but on the other hand you website can not get back link from nofollow site..
