    In the evolving landscape of SEO where Google’s algorithms continue to shift toward AI-driven search and user intent, will nofollow backlinks still provide measurable benefits by 2026?

    Yes, surely it will pass on the benefit to SEO. Nofollow backlinks drive more traffic to your website and pass a huge amount of link juice.

    There is no fixed ideal ratio of dofollow vs nofollow but both Google representatives and most credible SEO sources (Semrush, Ahrefs, Moz, Search Engine Land) repeatedly say: focus on quality, relevance and naturalness. It's really about avoiding manipulative behaviors, not about what tag your links carry.
