Why are dofollow links important in SEO?

I read more articles on blogs and forums, everyone said that dofollow links important for your keywords to get good rankings on Google but it is jut effective for Google, what about other search engines? does it still work for other search engines?.

Search engines crawlers follow dofollow links. In other words, they continue to crawl other pages they discover through standard links.
Dofollow links allow google (all search engines) to follow them and reach our website. Giving us link juice and a backlink. If a webmaster is linking back to you with this link both Search Engine and Humans will be able to follow you. The best way to give someone dofollow love is allowing keyword in the anchor text. This means when you are linking to any website or page, use the targeted keyword as anchor text.
Dofollow links pass along what the SEO community commonly calls “link juice.” Links are a vote for quality. By learning which webpages are often linked to, search engines can determine how highly websites should rank in search results. Links are just one of many ranking factors.

Hello Mjlivera,
DoFollow link is important for SEO because they pass on link juice and really benefit your website to get a high Page Rank.

I think it works equally for any search service, although I myself work only with Google.

It's important to check the website authority to get the link. If you get a dofollow link from the low authority or new website then effect negative on your website. It may also decrease your website ranking on the search engine result page.

There are two types of links
1. No-Follow
2. Do-Follow

if google's crawler finds your website link on your other site called backlinks if website would give you do-follow link it's mean google will pass the link equity and if it's no-follow then google does not give weitage to your website.

Other search engine take the same as Google

Dofollow links allow Google and other search engines to return traffic to your website or blog. As a result, every time you add a do-follow link to your site, it can point back to you, bolstering your authority by displaying to search engines which other sites, blogs, and postings are connecting to you.

For example, if some Content employs a do-follow link from Company X on its blog, the page or blog post linked to will be considered in the ranking. Some people refer to this as "Link Juice," and it arises as a result of Google's PageRank statistic. As a result, when adding external links to your blog, make sure they come from sites with high authority, as this will help your blog's authority develop.

yes do follow links is very important for ranking.

A Dofollow link is a link that helps in terms of SEO by passing the authority of the website which is called, “link juice.” It will help improve a website's domain authority, or domain rating, which in turn, helps to improve keyword ranking.

Do-Follow links are the one that helps you rank better on top of Google SERP. Your Domain Authority is also getting boosted by Do-Follow backlinks because Do-Follow pass authority from the website which gave you the Do-Follow link.

Dofollow links are links that can help you improve your Page Rank, acquire more SEO points, and build link juice, all of which will help your site rank higher in SERPs. Google considers do-follow links to be genuine votes of confidence.
