    Its sign for search engine whether it should consider link to share page popularity index.

    Do Follow : It means share page popularity to linking page.

    No Follow : It means dont share page popularity to linking page.

    For SEO purpose, Do follow does matter. No Follow links are not used to get higher Page Rank.

    Do follow is a html attribute (rel="dofollow") which instructs search engine that website is sharing PR juice to external websites which connect with PR giving website by anchor text or simple web address.

    No follow is just opposite to do follow

    Do follows are the absence of nofollow tags, and followed by search engines and they also provide link juice.

    Do follow means search engine will crawl and give value to your link but no follow means search engine crawl this link but not give value. For ranking purpose no follow is not so good.

    DoFollow links are links which help you improve your search engine ranking results.

    NoFollow it is an attribute which can assign to a link that will tell Google not to follow the link.

    Both of these are tags on the website. It depends on the website whether the website place a link in do follow tag or no follow tag.
    Do follow gives the link juice to the website that is linking while no follow tag does not give link juice to other websites. ;)

    No-follow attribute allows you to create a link that works just like any other one, but it is not considered in the search algorithm. In other words a nofollow link does not send out link juice and the anchor text used in it does not help the page you are pointing to rank higher.

    Do follow links on the other hand are regular links.

    Hi ankita,
    webmaster have the facilities to keep this methods. If you keep in do follow for any web page, search engines will visit those pages and crawl the data from those pages.
    If webmaster keeps no follow, search engines wont crawl the data from the particular pages.
