One of the biggest debates in the SEO world is the do-follow vs no-follow links debate. There is one camp who stringently argue that the only links worth anything are do-follow ones; on the other hand, there is a group who say that it doesn't really matter.

- > DoFollow Links : - The proponents of the "do-follow only" camp have a pretty logical argument backing them up. In terms of SEO value. Google should theoretically only count do-follow links. Any link that is no-follow has a direct and clear instruction telling search engines to ignore it. Think of the rel=nofollow tag as one of those detour signs you occasionally see. The street is still there, it's just you're being told to pass by it.

- > NoFollow Links : - On the flip side of the coin, some people believe that no follow links actually do provide some form of link benefit. Over and above this, they can provide great referral traffic from people clicking through your links. An excellent example of useful no follow links are blog comment links. The vast majority of blogs are no follow these days, which was put in place to discourage comment spam. Howevever, a well-place blog comment on a popular blog can deliver hundreds of visitors in a very short space of time.

No-follow links have rel="nofollow" attribute in their hyperlink tag while do-follow does not have rel attribute in their hyperlink tag.

Do follow Back links is the most powerful way to influence search engines to redirect a lot of traffic to your site. Search engine crawlers crawl the whole content on your webpage including images, links, keywords etc.

No follow links can be relevant to your post’s context and can come from the sources which have a potential to generate high referral traffic.

Do follow links: when crawler crawl the website and if find the link as do follow, then one more crawler generate and the current crawler execution will be continue on the website and it also consider as the back link.
No follow links: If crawler show that the link as no follow then it will not generate the crawler but it will consider as back links and the execution will continue.

this is the main focus to the Search Engine. No-follow link is not crawled by Search Engine while Do-follow link is crawled by Search Engine.

NoFollow - Doesn't provide you link juice from other site to your site.
DoFollow - Provide Link juice from other site to your site
