Do- Follow and No- Follow Links?

[raj_gawdi]

This topic is new to me. Can anybody tell me that how can we define no-follow and do-follow links? Or how can we create them?

Do follow links are rare now because of spammers while No Follow links can be find in the most popular and reputable sites in the web.

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.
A no follow link is a link that does not count as a point in the page’s favor, does not boost PageRank, and doesn’t help a page’s placement in the SERPs. No follow links get no love. Theirs is a sad and lonely life.

Do follow and no follow are link attributes and contain instructions for search engine robots. Do follow links are crawled and indexed in search engines whereas no follow links are never crawled and indexed in search engines.

Nofollow is the html attribute used to instruct the search engine crwlers that the link with nofollow attribute should not be followed so as to avoid the effect to link's juice.

Dofollow attribute of the link is used so that the link gets crawled and can be used as the backlink to the site.

However, this is a good practice to use the Nofollow link feature on those links, where you do not want to pass the link-juice. Dofollow links allow Google (all search engines) to follow and access our website. ... If a webmaster is linking you back with this link then both the search engines and the humans will be able to follow you.

To really understand what is going on with follow vs. no follow links, we need to provide a bit of background about how most links work in the realm of SEO. When a site page gets an inbound link, which is a hyperlink pointing to that page, the page gets a small SEO boost. Think of a link as a point, and the more links you have, the more points. More Points = Winning, like Charlie Sheen.

A no follow link is a link that does not count as a point in the page’s favor, does not boost PageRank, and doesn’t help a page’s placement in the SERPs. No follow links get no love. Theirs is a sad and lonely life.

When you create a NoFollow link, you are letting the search engines know that this is a link that is for your visitors only. It should not count as a link that goes toward building the rank of your page.


You might wonder why you would ever use a NoFollow link, and the answer is actually quite simple. Back in the early days of Google, people would flood their pages with backlinks in an attempt to climb up the rankings quickly. Many of these links were to pages that were of no relevance or use to the person clicking them, which was why Google altered their algorithm to shut down what was essentially tantamount to spam.


Since your goal is to create pages that get noticed, you should only really link to higher ranking sites, or those which are relevant to your visitor. If there are pages in there that don’t fit that bill, add the NoFollow attribute in the HTML code, and Google will not hold that link against you. Thee NoFollow attribute is most commonly used in comments, forums, paid links, and links to sites that Google deems to be “untrustworthy.” These links are still good at helping with traffic and referrals, which is why they are still used.
