Does DoFollow/NoFollow Apply To Forums?

    I was simply wondering if Dofollow/Nofollow was just something that applied to blogs or do forums use nofollow as well to keep people's links from improving their ranking?

    That was a simple to the point answer. Yup, some forums use no-follow. Does this mean that you shouldn't put your link there? No, by all means post your link where ever and when ever you can. It might not always improve your ranking, but you could at least get a few visits from them.

    yes, not all forums and blog sites are "do follow" . A "do follow" would help you gain page rank, as opposed to a "no follow" link which does not pass any link credit on Google. So you might want to check the page source first before commenting/posting if you want to gain more links.

    nofollow can be also use to forums. There are lots of nofollow forums out there.

    nofollow forums also gives traffic, but not link juice.
