bob · May 13, 2014

Hi everyone,

Can you tell me what is a Do Follow Backlink? and what is nofollow link?

Please explain for me or define what is it?

Do Follow Backlink and nofollow link are basic terms in SEO. First, you should search about it in Google if not found satisfied answers then come back with your query.

no follow links are not passed through search engines boat and therefore cannot be catched or indexed. Dofollow link is a kind of hyperlink and it passes through all search engines and it puts impact over page rank..

Ok, do you think we need to put rel="dofollow" into link or not?
if don't add that, Google will understand as default as dofollow link?
for example:

Code:

<a rel="dofollow" title="your title" href="yourlink.html">Your link</a> 
<a title="your title" href="yourlink.html">Your link</a>

both are the same?

It's not required to put rel="dofollow" attribute in your anchor tag, by default its dofollow, if you need to nofollow the links then it is required to put rel="nofollow" attribute in your anchor tag to stop passing the link juice.

Not required?
You mean, anchor tag never meant to be used in HTML Code or ever will be used?

pramod said:
by default its dofollow,

Wrong.
By default, w3scools tell us, there is hyperlink that doesn't have any Tags
such as "dofollow" or "nofollow"

pramod said:
if you need to nofollow the links then it is required to put rel="nofollow" attribute in your anchor tag to stop passing the link juice.

Required by who?
Yahoo, Bing and every other Search Engine care less about "nofollow"
and only Google who started this 'backlinks to build Page Rank" mess
now wants you to do dirty job and to kill links they want you to have
in a first place.

If Google doesn't like "backlinks" then let them cancel Page Rank scam
so people wouldn't have to deal with no existing created by Google crisis.

In Short Dofollow links are passing link juice and pagerank While nofollow can't

I mean rel="dofollow" is meaningless as there is no such attribute for anchor tag. Hope now you understand :rolleyes2:

Wrong.

Let me clear you if the link has rel="nofollow" attribute Googlebot will not follow the links, and doesn't passes link juice.

Agreed :thumb:

A No follow link is that link which doesn't consist any point within the favour of the page, doesn't facilitate to increase Pagerank of web site and doesn't facilitate the location to return up within the
SERP, however reversely Do follow link is that the link that helps website to urge an inbound link.

When Google bots are crawling a website they look for external links point to other websites. If this links is do followâ€ then search engines will follows the link and so link juice gets passed.

If a search engine finds a no followâ€ backlink it will just ignore the link and will not get deeper into crawling and no link juice is passed

orangesweety · May 25, 2015

Do follow links tells the search engine to follow the links and boost your website. Link juice will also passed in this do follow . No follow links doesn't tell the browser to follow and link juice will not pass here.

A normal hyper link in which Google and other search engine bots follows through the link is do follow link. I know this is too short to understand.

A link that doesn't allows search engines bots to follow through are no follow links. A no follow link is added with rel=â€nofollowâ€ attribute.

Webmaster.Xochitl · Jun 16, 2015

A do-follow link is a link which will go on the SEO advantages of the site where it is fabricated from to the hyper-linked site. This is the sort of backlink that link manufacturers will make for SEO strategies. Backlinks made at high PR sources will go on the link juices towards the hyper-linked website, in this way altogether enhancing its ranking position among the serp's.

A no-follow backlink is fundamentally a link that does not go on the SEO advantages of the source website to the web journal where the link focuses to. So it doesn't have any SEO esteem by any means, and they won't make any sense to the link profile that web search engines utilization to assess when positioning sites.

The search engine spam indexing and to improve the search engine results. Only Dofollow links pass link juice to the linked webpage and influence the target's page rank.
Nofollow means probably it's a link is set as nofollow, it means Google bot won't crawl the link and won't pass any link juice.

sajid israq · Nov 7, 2015

Dofollow link passes link juice and they definitely help you much, in order to achieve good page rank. As it instructs search engine spiders to follow this link.

<a href = http://www.example3.org rel="external">Example3</a>

The above link is dofollow, generally when you left comment on other site, you will see links with rel external attribute, rel=â€externalâ€ is just to represent that the link is external, it has nothing to do with backlink type.
