Difference between Do follow and no Follow Sites?

[luanle]

Dofollow links are hyperlinks that tell the search engines to pass along their page rank to influence on outbound links. This factor affects a lot for SEO purpose. If you get more do follow links, then search engines will decipher your links as back links and you have more chances to receive positive values for your site's ranking.

Nofollow links are exactly the opposite. These hyperlinks don't have the ability to pass on a page rank status to other websites. Nofollow links don't consider as crawling links from search engines and so the link associated with Nofollow websites won't crawl by search engines.

very useful! Thanks for answer

When search engine find a no follow sites it ignores the sites and no link juice is passed, while if the site is do follow site then link juice is passed, so creating backlinks with do follow sites will pass link juice but this can't be possible with no follow site. Link juice is power or equity passed to a site via links from external or internal sources.

NoFollow links attributes do not allow the search engine bots to follow the link; whereas DoFollow links allow all the search engine to follow the link and reach target website.

NoFollow:
<a href=Example Domain rel=”nofollow”>example</a>

DoFollow:
<a href=Example Domain>example</a>

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.

Do follow is hyperlink inclusion that tells search engines to pass on any credibility or influence to an outbound link. When Google bot visits a website it reads website pages and includes links with do follow attribute and excludes link with no follow attribute.
Nofollow is html tag that website owners, add to links in their website for the search engines not to crawl, notice, or acknowledge a link. While a nofollow link is ignored, but popular social networking site like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Myspace sites are nofollow, but they do provide a lot of other benefits.
