Hello friends,
I would like to know,
What is a No-Follow link?

[RH-Calvin]

No follow is a link attribute that instructs spiders not to crawl the particular backlink on the webpage. Hence these links are never indexed in search engines. They are only used to build traffic from various external webpages.

No follow link cannot be crawl by the search engine but it can be a source of target traffic into your site.

For those of us who are trying to earn links for our clients, receiving a nofollow link can feel like a slap in the face.

Nofollow is an HTML attribute value used to instruct search engines bots that a hyperlink should not influence the link target’s ranking in the search engine’s index. It is intended to reduce the effectiveness of certain types of search engine spam, thereby improving the quality of search engine results and preventing spamdexing from occurring in the first place. This is a concept introduced by Matt Cutts and Jason Shellen in the year 2005.

Yup.I agree with you. Nofollow doesn't follow the path but one more advantages of nofollow link is ,it increase the traffic but not used for ranking purpose.

It’s way of telling to the search engines not to crawl or not to follow the given link of a page. This type of No-follow links will be useful when if you want a particular page of your website not to crawl.

The nofollow tag is a way publishers can tell search engines not to count some of their links to other pages as “votes” in favor of that content.Nofollow solved the PR problem for Google. It no longer got blamed as not doing enough to stop comment spam. It didn’t, of course, stop comment spam from happening.
