hi to all, Can anyone tell me that what is the disadvantage of no follow links and what is do follow links thanks. With Regards. Kb.
Nofollow links do not pass PageRank and search engine position, etc. For example, if you have a site and you were linking to another site, if you added the rel="nofollow" term to that link, you would give no PageRank to this other site and you wouldn't help it increase its position in the search engines. Dofollow is the opposite. However, when most people link to other sites they use dofollow - it's the nice thing to do. At least that's how most bloggers do it. And most bloggers sell dofollow advertising - you can sell nofollow, which won't get you punished with Google because you're not selling PageRank or search engine terms, but you won't earn as much. I'm not that good at explaining but I hope I've helped a little. You'll probably get better answers from other people on this forum than me.
Hello, The no follow means that the google bot spider will not index or follow that link from the page the link is on.. Basically google will not see that link and will not count it as a back link for your page.. With do follow the google bot will follow that link from the page it is on and will index it as such, meaning your page would gain a google back link for the link you have on another page.. There are pros and cons to each, for example if you wanted to show a link that went to a bad neighborhood but did not want google to associate that page with your site? The no follow could help in that circumstance.. If you wanted a good back link on a page that was relevant to yours, than the do follow would be best.. That is why many a blogger uses the do follow so that people would be more likely to post with relevant links and info.. However this attracts the rift raft as well, with spam links. Boulder
No follow links won't give any PR juice to your site but site that uses no follow can also help in terms of traffic.
