    Dofollow links are followed by search engines. NoFollow links are only beneficial for increasing traffic to your website. It is an HTML attribute which is used to instruct search engines not to follow the link which is associated with this attribute.

    Do-fallow means you can get Back Link and pr juice from others, but no-fallow means you can get back link, not pr juice one thing is that if you want to get visitors then both is beneficial for anchor text.

    This is the simplest and the best way to explain the Do follow and No follow links.They are the back links which we are getting from other sites.It depends on the site to make the link do follow or no follow.

    Search Engine crawls or indexes only "Do Follow" Links. When put add "No Follow" Tag to a links, you forbade Google to index that link. In simple words, Google Don't index No Follow links. :)

    Dofollow link crawled by the search robot and counts as a backlink high quality instead of nofollow link is not counted as a link back because it is indexed by the search engine spider.

    There are two types of backlinks
    * Do-Follow and,
    * No-Follow.
    Dofollow link indexed by search engine spiders. If the link is dofollow, the PageRank of a web page can be transferred to your site. Links with nofollow links are less likely to scan.

    Do-follow simply means that any link is granted relevancy that would improve its search engine result, no-follow is the opposite

    You can get much better and detailed answers if you just Google your question, basically Nofollow link is when you have a site that links to your site but that site does not share its PR with your site and hence will not improve your sites PR in any way.A Dofollow link works just the opposite.
