    Dofollow instruct the spider to index the link.

    Disallow instruct the spider to remove the link from indexing

    Agreed.

    Dofollow is hyperlink property on the other hand Disallow is property of the Robots.

    Dofollow and disallow both are completely different things. Dofollow passes the link juice and the disallow thing prevents robots to index your page.

    "Disallow: /" tells the robot that it should not visit any pages on the site.
    Dofollow tell the crawler follow the link.

    Disallow use in the Robot.txt and Dofollow use on the page or with hypertext link.

    Dofollow means the links which search engines follow.

    In SEO, we generally look for websites, forums, blogs that will help us in getting your SEO with quality backlinks.

    The Disallow command works like a wildcard.

    This example keeps all robots out:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /

    Hope now you understand the difference between Disallow and Dofollow.. :)

    Do-follow means that the search engines will follow your link and crawl your site from another site.
    Nofollow means that the search engines will not follow your link and will not crawl your site from another site.

    You want do-follow links because search engines will be able to find your site and will begin to crawl it on a regular basis
